We screened a small batch of scholarship applications and, with high confidence, ALL had AI-generated essays. They'd been instructed not to use AI, so all disqualified.

AI scrapes internet content, a great deal of which is either fake news, lies, errors, the product of twisted minds, or all the above. "GI-GO" is still true. When you put 💩 in, you get 💩 out.

Visited an auto care/repair info site, found topic I was looking for. As I read the article, I repeatedly encountered text that made no sense, being unrelated to the topic. Site was apparently AI generated, and the lazy bastards hadn't even proofread it!

Couldn't have been a kid b/c most schools don't teach cursive anymore! ✒️ So this gen can't read letters their parents wrote, or the Declaration of Independence, or...

Southwest has also joined the "We Suck" club, morphing into a mediocre air carrier. Why ruin your brand?

We have one of those biggies here regularly. Sounds like chopping down a tree with an axe at 3X speed.

Then you definitely did the right thing having Gender Affirming Surgery. And you're sooo fortunate to have a Mom who's very supportive. 👏

Yes, absodamlutely!
Stephen Miller serves the same role for Trump as Joseph Goebbels did for Adolph Hitler. He's principle architect of the most hateful, hurtful policies.

Miller is to Trump as Joseph Goebbels was to Hitler... mastermind of the worst, cruelist policies.

TAKING CHANCE is a great Memorial Day movie, the true story of escorting a fallen Marine home. Quiet, respectful, deeply moving, it stars Kevin Bacon. He says it's his most loved film. #HBO

Actually plausible, with time travel. She could've done it, b/c it was entirely caused by human action. (See (HBO's Chernobyl, a great documentary.) Perhaps the historical record was altered to remove any ref to Molly (?)

The US is echoing the UK "brain drain" following WWII. The dollar is falling, making imports more expensive even w/o stupid tariffs. Rates on 20 yr treasuries are rising, driving up our cost of servicing debt. Thanks, tRump, and President Musk.

You probably don't hear the⚡bolt that hits you. But you could hear zzzt, zzzt first, the precursor feelers that immediately preceed a lightning strike. That means you're at ground zero.

Point defense against ballistic and cruise missiles is challenging but possible, though some will get through. But the US is huge. Also, the "Iron Dome" can't protect against nuclear weapons in cargo planes / ships. Yes, it's a boondoggle to enrich billionaires.

Public schools have failed to teach critical thinking, much less the scientific method. And the move to add character education to curricula seems to have fizzled. (My late sis was an educator and author pushing it.) So the door was wide open for MAGA and "alt facts" to ascend.

US journalism is often under the thumb of spineless owners and bean counters. BBC is still pretty good.

Absodamnlutely. The best perk of being a geezer is free gym membership via Silver Sneakers. Fitness has been a passion for ~7 decades. On my 15th birthday I was 265#. On my 17th I was 165, now a strong, active 155.

RFE & VoA have been crucial sources of truth since the 1950s for all those living in authoritarian countries without free speech. In the 1950s, within seconds of the beginning of any program aimed at a Soviet country, I could hear high power radio jammers turn on, trying to keep out the truth.
