Our inability to regulate AI is further evidence that our biggest problem isn’t AI. It’s Republicans. They have brought modern government to a dead stop, and we are unable to govern anything anymore. So fuck you, @michaelsteele.bsky.social. You’re still part of the problem.

Everyone's dunking on him here, but I think he meant that you have to have one to check one out of Jeffrey Epstein's child library.
If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.
another day proving my theory: the only thing billionaires have ever contributed to society is their ex-wives.

Why is Iran bombing Dubai in the UAE? Here's the context. They're punching Trump in the pocketbook, and he was 'unprepared.' www.murphy.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...
We're re-living The Gilded Age.
"They weren't supposed to bomb the luxury Dubai hotels!" is the new "Rich people aren't supposed to get tuberculosis!" from the late 19th century.
"The Trump administration was not prepared." Of course, they weren't.
The progressive era is coming, folks.
