REP. @rokhanna.bsky.social : “This is one of the most horrific & disgusting corruption scandals in our country's history... Because survivors spoke up, the truth is finally going to come out and this country is really going to have a moral reckoning. How did we allow this to happen?”

There are bad cover versions and….There are covers that sound wrong on paper, until you hear them. If you haven't heard the 25 records here, there's a good chance you'd scoff at them. But sometimes it takes disreputable artists to bring classics back down off Mount Olympus and into the real world.
25 Excellent "Bad" Cover Versions

The machine that's being built to replace all workers needs workers to bail it out so it can keep existing
“OpenAI is getting ready to run hat in hand to the taxpayer for subsidies.” After losing more than $13 billion this year, OpenAI officials are angling for a bailout. From @ryanlcooper.com:

OpenAI Is Maneuvering for a Government Bailout - The American Prospect
For artificial intelligence to ever pencil out, some truly enormous revenue streams will be required. And if you need trillions of dollars for data centers forever, there’s only one entity to turn to: Uncle Sam.

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

Reading that Kirk Gibson's Parkinson's center just opened in Farmington Hills, MI reminded me I wrote about him when he was still in the minors (and I was 18). But mostly I wrote about his fellow Waterford high school grad Mike Grace, who played 5 Reds games in 1978. He was having a better summer.
A Tale of Two Ballplayers

Odd, how Laura Loomer has to speculate about what Hell must be like, whereas anyone who has ever had to spend time with her does not.

Two nights of 3:45am alarms, blazing full moon lighting the sky like daytime and washing out the light of everything else, comet included. Then two days of post-processing battles, as comet processing is maddeningly tricky.
