I, for one, welcome our new AI overlords. www.cbsnews.com/news/chipotl...

Time to sell out? www.npr.org/2025/02/13/n...

Wow..... here comes the revisionist history. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-s...

This definitely has a sorta dooms-day-ee vibe to it. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/e...

This has to be the most litigated kiss of the decade. www.npr.org/2025/02/03/g...

I miss Spicer. abcnews.go.com/Politics/lea...

The Rwandian genocide was really one of the first international news items I was aware of as a kid. This conflict and ethnic tension seems like an open wound that won't heal.

This feels like more of @googlesearch.bsky.social and the general techno-oligarchy lining up with the whims of the autocracy. Sorta sad. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

This will surely make Trump think twice about invading Greenland. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Oh boy. I'm old enough to remember the dot com crash. Is this the AI crash? www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/b...

No taxes on tips is mainly a gift to employers of tipped workers, and a burden for everyone else. When economists universally pan an idea, maybe we should listen? www.npr.org/2025/01/25/n...

Good interview between @steveinskeep.bsky.social and @chrislhayes.bsky.social. Hayes is right. This is the attention age. And it is scary. www.npr.org/2025/01/27/n...

Another nail in the coffin of local media. www.npr.org/2025/01/19/n...

The pharma industry recycling party drugs is sorta like Hollywood trying to recycle old movie franchises. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Some of this stuff (e.g. don't have flammable material next to your house) sorta seems obvious. Residents around LA have seen a lot of wildfires over the past few years. Surprising more people weren't prepared. www.npr.org/2025/01/17/n...

Like so many of the mass shootings in the US, there seem to have been an amazing number of red flags surrounding the perpetrator in the run up to the attack. Leaves one questioning why more wasn't done. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The American consumer is over-leveraged. Debt is going to push us towards yet another recession. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Fox News apparently getting on the RFK train. www.foxnews.com/health/nutri...

Oh good. The German far right is invited to the inauguration. Those guys never caused any trouble. www.npr.org/2025/01/20/g...

These pardons weren't a good idea. It's too easy to get the impression that they needed a pardon b/c they might have done something wrong, or that we shouldn't have faith in our justice system. apnews.com/article/bide...

Anyone else watching the Sahm rule or the yield curve? Things are starting to feel a little recession-y.

Wow. A Bannon sympathetic piece from @npr.org. Hate to say it, but found myself agreeing with Bannon on his so-called "techno-oligarchy" and how weak moving the inauguration indoors looks. www.npr.org/2025/01/19/n...
