If you think “hearing from all sides” is a useful way to spend your time, you may have too much time on your hands. Give me sound logic or talk to someone else. My time is too valuable for nonsense. Apologies in advance. I don’t read or repost Substack.
It's all three, but there's also something else: weak, atrophied brains.
Typos are one thing but elite messages go beyond that, they show an inability to communicate beyond mere urges and feelings, and the reason they can't communicate beyond those is because they can't think through those.
Watching the CT legislature quietly eliminate free bus fares for high school kids after it passed last year(a few million $) as the governor casually talks about using $500 million on a temporary gas tax holiday is pretty radicalizing

The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.
U.S. consumer prices rose 0.3% in February and were up 2.4% from a year earlier. "Core" prices, excluding food and energy, were up 0.2% month/month and 2.5% year/year. But remember that all these numbers are from before the war in Iran sent gas prices soaring. #NumbersDay

huh so it's true, Trump really does order shoes for his lackeys. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Everything’s fine
Marco Rubio greets Chuck Schumer in January 2026 at the Capitol Visitor Center
A close-up of his foot shows his shoes are too big
hmm
I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...
The best-kept secret in North Carolina is how sharply violent crime is falling in cities all over the state.
From 2024 to 2025, violent crime dropped sharply in the biggest cities in North Carolina. Good news!
I trust you, but the fact I was so quick to follow without doing any research still leaves me a little shaken. The guy was saying things I wanted to hear, so I just clicked without reading. I didn’t think I ever did that, but now I’m questioning.
The Mississippi Secretary of State used unverified credit data to review voter registrations, Mississippi Today reports:
Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.
Whoa. This is big. "The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now." www.reuters.com/world/middle...
"Can you describe your AI workflow?"
"I once asked a chatbot something. It lied. I then set out to find the answer the old--fashioned way. It worked"
"No, I mean, your everyday usage"
"I believe I answered that question with such completeness scarcely nothing could be added"
"Please leave"
"Ok"
(Guardian) — Iran has spurned two messages from Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, seeking a ceasefire as its leaders sense it is not losing the war and the US president is at the minimum feeling the political pressure.

Sure sounds like somebody at DOGE took the Social Security numbers and personal information of every American on record, and put it on a thumb drive to bring home to Elon Musk’s AI company.
Good words of warning here. AI models are generally designed to read and incorporate (and, in a sense, believe) virtually everything they find online, with very few guardrails. The information can get divorced from its original source, context, & rebuttals or retractions. That's a really big problem
Judge: why are you using AI to do run of the mill issue spotting which is a basic part of your job?
(I am also interested in this question)
So first of all, the DOJ's standards are....extremely fallen, I cannot imagine this happening much earlier in time.
Second, the word "intentionally" has very specific meaning and this lawyer thirty years into practice knows what it means, and the judge is being very clear about that.
"Mary Ellen Carroll, executive director of San Francisco’s Department of Emergency Management, warned that the frequency that police and firefighters have to respond to immobilized Waymos was becoming a public safety issue."

On the one hand, if healthcare is producing jobs that’s fine. But we can’t all work in healthcare.
Tbh the entire race to the bottom between the US, China, and Russia
Holy hot buttered biscuits, I almost followed someone from the fucking Cato Institute. Ye gods.🤯

Wait. THERE ARE STATED OBJECTIVES WE ARE NOT GOING TO ACHIEVE?
I admit, I’m not 100% online at all times, but I completely missed that we have objectives. When did this happen?
I can hear the arguments: “But we need a functioning government so that foreign actors can’t harm Americans…until after the American government is done harming them.”🙄
I look forward to backing whomever runs against @schiff.senate.gov. or he could just retire now.
