MSNBC reported Schumer's office felt that the longer that shutdown went on, the more likely it was that people would start to blame the Dems.
My kingdom for Democrats that don't govern out of fear. I've said it before and I'll say it again: The American people are far braver than their reps.

Yup. "AI" should be understood primarily as a marketing term designed to impress people who have no understanding of (nor any real interest in understanding) the underlying tools and processes.
It does suck that "AI" now means both generative AI (boo hiss) and a whole basket of incredibly useful machine learning techniques.

You can't meet your enemy halfway on a pipeline of moral panics cooked up in a Nazi propaganda lab.
Capitulation just alienates chunks of your own voter base by signaling to them that you're willing to sell them down the river for an ever-receding "average voter" who exists only on a spreadsheet.

Choosing "wheelchair use" as a point of attack works the same way regardless of who is being targeted. It doesn't become okay just because the target is a horrible person.
What it does is normalize and strengthen the idea that wheelchair use should be mocked.

As a progressive Texan who adores Crockett and is also a wheelchair user, it still sucks. No matter who says it or who it's directed at, this type of rhetoric normalizes ableism for everyone.

So we’ve spent about half year befriending a cat that’s part of our neighborhood colony. He was very standoffish for most of that time but in the last two weeks we were able to get full on pets and head bumps. He’s honestly the sweetest.
