Poor people understand the practicality of money far more that rich people do, out of necessity.

The most legroom I've ever had on a flight, I think.

The crypto and NFT examples aren't on point. I've always been a staunch opponent of both. Crypto and NFTs are mostly about money laundering and shady deals.

I'm not even a huge fan of AI. But knee-jerk opposition to it is truly sticking your head in the sand at this point.

1) bombing the school was likely an intelligence failure, not because of AI (maps of targets were out of date)

2) I agree that AI should but be used for military decision making

3) this has nothing to do with teaching college students to use AI tools critically

Teach them to use it properly and critically.

Not all AI is the same.

Most college students today are going to end up working for an employer that is going to expect them to use AI tools, and if their response is, "college taught me that AI is evil, so I never learned" that won't cut it.

Yep. "Don't use Wikipedia!" wasn't the answer. Use Wikipedia to find reliable secondary and primary sources was.

This is probably the path forward. I know this is an unpopular opinion, but AI isn't going anywhere. Colleges are doing their students a disservice if they don't teach them to use it effectively. There's a lot of things I hate about AI, but the luddites screaming into the void aren't going to win.

A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable

And he's way more popular that the other guy, so better positioned to take Collins' seat

Because he figures into the Democrats' best chance of flipping the Senate and all the benefits that come from that.

JD Vance is already writing his defense

The Senate failed their basic constitutional duty when they confirmed someone to be Secretary of Defense who believes it's okay for soldiers to commit war crimes.

What? Basic conflicts of interest and ethics from a cabinet-level official are always relevant. The bar shouldn't be set so low it's a doormat.

That's why she didn't say no.

She's so intent on not answering because she knows she might perjure herself.

I think this is also the key to Talarico's appeal among Latinos, many of whom are religious. Heck, most Texans are religious, regardless of politics.

The MSM presumption is that leading with faith must mean you're trying to win over Republicans.

But lots of Democrats are religious. They just tend to focus their exercise of faith in the political realm more on the plight of the poor and oppressed rather than on abortion and anti-LGBTQ beliefs.

This is probably what she's thinking of, a cruel and inhumane maximum security prison in El Salvador that she deeply admires.

If nothing else, millions of Republican dollars will be wasted.

At least Tony Gonzalez didn't outright win his primary last night. That's something, right?

One of the things I like most about Talarico is the way he directly speaks against White Christian Nationalism
