FAFO: Father Around and Find Out! 👼

So America is ceding the high ground to... 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘮? 🤔

"No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot." - Mark Twain

At least the Swiss still believe in science! 🤷 For those Americans in hurricane, flood or tornado zones... you're on your own!

𝘙𝘪𝘯𝘨... 𝘙𝘪𝘯𝘨... "Hello?" "America?" "Yes?" "Listen carefully... we traced that coup you told us about and it 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦!" How this story ends is up to democracy loving Americans. 🙇

Long and detailed piece and worth the read if you like getting into the weeds.

I've been using AI search assist for a while and so far, it's been pretty good. But of course I verify the results just to be sure. 𝘜𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 I asked it to solve a li'le 'John has 3 apples' type of addition question like might kids get in grade 2! I didn't need to vet 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 answer to know it was wrong!

The orange demagogue is what the hacker community would call a script kiddy, folks who just use real hacker's tools 'out of the box' to implement their destruction. In 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 case, his 'script' is simply his Sharpie written signature over and over again on documents he's handed and doesn't even read!🙇

"Then they came for peer review, but I wasn't a scientist." Famous last words from someone diagnosed with an otherwise preventable disease.

He did if you are part of America's lower 99% income earners, the 1%ers did just fine! 🤷

As a professor at @harvard.edu Kennedy School, I had refrained from speaking about Trump's attacks on Harvard. I am not sure why. So I will no longer refrain. All in. And happy graduation. @cnn.com
