Anyone else find this hilarious? I think this program will be up for less time than a White House Press Secretary...

Argh. Trump knows he’s going to get clobbered in the midterms so it’s like he is going all out to crash the economy so he can blame it on the dems. His low info Fox addicted dwindling base will eat it up. Think 4/gal gas is bad… hold on to yer wallets…

I guess this gives new meaning to “Trumped” up charges. (Narco-terrorism?). Regime change begins at home, Fuck Trump and Fuck those in Congress abdicating their power to him, and don’t get me started on the Supreme Court.

Come on Dems, you know you’ll never get to kick the ball if you keep falling for it. Hold the line! Make the republicans own their big beastly bill.

If you give a narcissistic type an inch, you’ve already lost it all. Trump might chicken out, but he doesn’t let anything out of his grubby, tiny hands once he has it.

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

Trump doesn't have “conflicts of interest” anymore. A “conflict of interest” sounds like an unfortunate situation where Trump might choose his own interests over the nation’s. But Trump isn’t conflicted about anything. He's the most corrupt president in American history.

Finally got around to getting rid of my FB profile. Interesting amount of data they keep and they are really good at hiding the instructions. Not sure if I should be worried that META said I will be deleted in the next 30 days....

All this AI crap is a waste of resources (energy, talent, capital). Why have we denied our own Actual Intelligence, besides it never ends well it's like we're trying to make sci-fi dystopian reality on the altar of greed...

@baldwin.senate.gov Can the Senate discipline VP Vance for his use of inappropriate messaging platforms with national defense plans? How about calling the cabinet members that were approved by the Senate out for their role in making America less safe?

Just heard the actual interview with Lutnik (Sec of Commerce). If you want to hear corrupt billionaires schlepping for each other..give it a listen. The robot bit did crack me up ('everyone will buy a 30K robot or you are silly.)

This section, seems to hand spending power to Trump .."(b) If a sequestration is ordered by the President under section 254 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, the spending, expenditure, or operating plan required by this section shall reflect such sequestration."

Suggestions for avoiding doom scrolling needed. Already reading more paper books, calling my senators, cooking, working out. Former teacher here (civics, history, social studies). This dude does not abide.

You are up to date.
