My brother, who’s more successful at life than me, says you’re hired more for personality than capability.

So that’s why I can’t get jobs that require an interview.

I’m not surprised that it’s more expensive to program ethics into AI, but it is scary. Will the billionaires controlling them be willing to fund goodness?

I got my wife permanent flowers, so I’m good with flowers now, right?

She said, “I still like the ones that die.”

More death it is, then.

I told my 7-year-old, “Shakira is known for the way she moves her hips.” Without a pause, she replies, “She’s also known for not wearing much clothes.” She was watching the She Wolf video, so…

Anthropic rejects Pentagon terms for lethal use of its chatbot Claude — The Washington Post Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei said the company could not permit its technology to be applied to domestic mass surveillance or fully autonomous weapons.

I’m glad Anthropic is keeping their software from being used for mass surveillance. It’s telling that Hegseth intends to force them to release their software.

‘Your City Could Be Better’: What Denver Needs To Know about Madison's Data Centers Fight Podcast Episode · City Cast Denver · February 22 · 28m

Should cities let AI data centers proliferate within them without delay?

The working class shouldn’t have to endure the pain of billionaires invading our cities, taking our water & power, driving up our cost of living. We’ll be ok with benefits coming a bit later.

My daughter asked me if I’ve eaten one of those virus balls with spikes that float in the ocean, while waving her hands to explain.

My wife knew what she was talking about.

I don’t drink much but I rarely give anything up and it seems silly to “sacrifice” chocolate. And coffee runs through my veins so…

I understand the feeling, but this isn't helpful. We are all Americans and we have different ideas about what is best for our country. If we respect one another, we'll get a lot further in finding common ground, and then we can move forward together instead of constantly fighting each other. #unity

Is There Justification for American Colonialism? | Gabriel David Hu Over the years, I’ve seen white Americans argue for why we shouldn’t be made to feel bad for the sins of our ancestors, including slavery and the colonial conquest of America, and I can feel…

We cannot claim a moral right to contest the rebellion of those fighting for rights when we used unprovoked conquest to forcibly and oppressively take and maintain our own “rights.”

Lisa Calderón on Why She’s Running for Mayor for the Third Time Podcast Episode · City Cast Denver · 02/09/2026 · 34m

I liked everything Lisa Calderón had to say as a mayoral candidate. She’s intelligent, reasonable, and has well-thought responses to Denver’s issues. But does she have the charisma to get elected?

Concerned about A.I.? I am. The issues aren't new, though. Science Fiction has been exploring these issues for decades! Here is my look at Philip K. Dick's DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP, aka BLADE RUNNER.

“the chilling effect on dissent is obvious.”
David French makes a common sense suggestion here that I hope we take. It works for both the Left and Right.

Opinion | Time to Say Goodbye After 22 wonderful years, I’ve decided to take the exciting and terrifying step of leaving in order to try to build something new.

David Brooks perfectly expresses the state of America today.
"When people do not believe they have a secure emotional, physical and spiritual home, they become risk averse, stagnant, cynical, anxious and aggressive."

“Love isn’t optional, it’s the evidence.”

The world wants to prove that you’re wrong and they're right; Christian love proves that we care, which is how “Jesus saw their faith” (Mark 2:5).

“Are you willing to love people you hate?”

Does a Pride Flag Belong in ‘Shrek the Musical’? A New Censorship Debate Rages in DougCo Podcast Episode · City Cast Denver · 01/29/2026 · 31m

This City Cast Denver podcast was a good conversation that considered other perspectives, until this statement:

“Artistic expression is inherently queer.”

I get creativity and fantasy can be strange, but connecting it to queer doesn’t ring true.

And then he went and ruined it the very next day by horribly distorting the truth of the situation. I was so disgusted I didn’t last five minutes (after the first four minutes of ads).
