“In these days of evil presidentes…”

One of my favorite tracks off “London Calling.”

The boat was split in half. 9 men were dead. 2 more clung to a floating piece of wreckage and tried desperately to flip it over for 41 minutes straight. There was no possible way they were going anywhere.

Then they were killed in cold blood by the U.S. military.

Everyone needs to know Nashville is a Dem stronghold. Has been for decades.

“Zodiac” is somehow a perfect foundational myth (but not a myth) for the modern day Bay Area. Horror like that often seems but a step away here and now, whether in the TL or in a billionaire’s backyard bbq.

I think we’re just at this stage where every body is blowing smoke up each other’s bums, VCs and tech co leaders keep stacking billions, and there have yet to be consequences.

But house of cards inevitably collapse, and bills come due.

Thus, when an AI generates something for us, we really have to view it with suspicion. Furthermore, the models are constantly being retrained, so it’s not like people, where we can say, “Alice has been reliable for ten years, we can trust Alice,” or “Eve is sometimes full of s##t.”

That’s a hilarious story. (Bob Dole stealing salmon, although “Heartburn” too.)
