I'm going to send a comment, but first I'm going to have to draft a fury-laden one before I can do a more polite and rational one.

If Noem is really so keen on doing a reality show, perhaps it should be of US citizens taking the citizenship test. Include Trump cabinet members, low information voters, and MAGA. No deportations, though

Maybe they hate him too. And part of me worries they're setting him up as a convenient Jewish scapegoat to blame when things go up in flames

I got a similar pitch from someone at TruxtAI yesterday with the subject line "My barista asked about you." Not quite as bad, but still. Looks like they're trying really hard to make people run away screaming from AI!

You're here! I know I'm just a random blog reader of yours, but I was a little worried for you after not seeing any posts for a bit. No pressure for you to write, but still happy to "see" you!
