I can't emphasize enough how so many automated processes are like this. Anything that can go wrong will go wrong, unless they've been carefully examined to make sure they work. And all this so-called AI is going to turbocharge such bullshit problems with computers of all kinds.

Fun fact: it takes fewer votes to impeach and remove the president than to override a veto.
Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

In fact I will say the Earnest and Pious Charismatic Ethnic Minority political figure (AOC, Mamdani, El-Sayed) has been a pretty good bet for the American left so far, whereas the Disaffected Gruff White Guy Showcasing True Masculinity (Fetterman, Platner) has been a worse bet. Just an observation.
Yeah start insinuating he has morning chai rather than coffee, say that he knocks things for 6 rather than hits a home run, allege that he is generally a clean living good boy who loves his mother and prays every Friday (pejorative).

Repetitive tacticle activity + very obvious progress + satisfaction at having made a thing that would've just sat there as a pile of parts / supplies / etc if you weren't there
Crafting — which includes knitting, pottery and jewelry-making — attracts some people because of the mental health benefits of a soothing, repetitive motion. A large survey found a strong association between frequent knitting and feeling “calm and happy.”

Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US. He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president. paydayreport.com/brazilian-fe...

ive talked on how i wont engage with writers who use ai, i wont eat at a restaurant with an ai menu, i wont have anything to do with it. but what this post illustrates is regardless of how OTHERS react, ultimately the worst part about using ai is that you are punishing YOURSELF and dont even know it

We've been working hard to expand passenger rail in Wisconsin and ensure folks have the connected, 21st-century transportation infrastructure they need and deserve. This is great news for our state. www.gmtoday.com/the_freeman/...

if voting didn't matter they wouldn't be working so hard to stop you
The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.
