“He was never nice to the Obamas,” said The Hill opinion writer Tara Dublin. “He also looks & sounds like he died last week but no one wants to tell him.”

Looks, sounds, and by all accounts smells like he died last week.

Hopefully the current president won’t be as pathetic as the one who was in the Whitehouse the last time the fascists tried to overthrow the government.

It was a John Birch Society talking point at one time. It was condemned as a communist conspiracy. Of course. Just like civil rights are a communist conspiracy.

Anyway. A few years ago I discovered that my home town newspaper had digitized all the old issues and made them searchable online. I decided to search for family members.

Found my dad mentioned in a report of a hearing on fluoridation. He was talking about it being a communist plot.

Edit:

I just listened to this episode of revisionist history recently. If you aren’t familiar with the beginnings of the shit show we’re living in, you might find it interesting and/or horrifying.

I can’t be sure, but I think that look means, “you post it, you die.”

For a little while longer.

Gingrich, who faced his own scandals, cited Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s recent split from the Democrats as further proof of disillusionment with what he sees as their corrupt influence.

Seriously? He thinks the brain worm guy leaving the Democratic party to side with the Republicans is proof that the Democrats are bad?

Came here to say that exact thing. If only he would read it.

Bowties are cool.

The bowtie wasn’t the problem.

It’s the person that makes it uncool.

I’d argue that the fact that he stopped wearing the bowties when he was mocked for it says more about him than the bowties do.

Always has been.

So, one more item in the “Pro” column for voting against Trump.

Then maybe we can work on fixing the problems here.

Wear gloves when they hand you that guideline because they might be pulling it out of their ass.

Why would she lie when she had a perfectly valid excuse?

Because she thinks her skin color will protect her.

I’ve often thought LLMs could replace all of the C-suites and upper and middle management.

Funny how no companies push that as a possibility.

Sounds like our dads could be friends.

I hope you realize how lucky you are to have a grandma who is merely deluded into thinking the MAGAts aren’t a threat.

They’re just measuring the increase in the amount of methane in the room when Elon speaks.

DeSantis?

I could be wrong, but I think the AP Style guidelines say that the word “comedian” should be in quotes when referring to a GOP “comedian”.

Maybe I am wrong, but they should say that.

If you find out what happened, let me know, because I think it’s happening to me too.

I had a professor in college that said when an AI problem is solved, it is no longer AI.

Computers do all sorts of things today that 30 years ago were the stuff of science fiction. Back then many of those things were considered to be in the realm of AI. Now they’re just tools we use without thinking about them.

I’m sitting here using gesture typing on my phone to enter these words. The computer is analyzing my motions and predicting what words I want to type based on a statistical likelihood of what comes next from the group of possible words that my gesture could be. This would have been the realm of AI once, but now it’s just the keyboard app on my phone.
