This putz has been spewing this stuff all over. Someone is paying him, you can sure. Pick an oligarch. Any oligarch.

Hola! Not dead. Keeping busy to avoid watching more of this end-of-empire disaster porn: • selling mom’s house (almost done), • trying to figure out where we’re going to live (way not done). • relearning to code again, building a needed proof-of-concept app. Crazy-useful, even if AI related.

Ross Douthat is rarely useful, but in this one case, he’s bringing us the conservative “intellectual’s” case for tariffs. It’s going to be popular at most fascist cocktail parties. “The Case for Giving This Trade War a Chance”

I’m starting to think that both Claude and ChatGPT PT are monumental hoaxes. They cannot do the simplest kinds of text formatting without failing over and over and over again. They can’t make a markdown document properly. they can’t make a yaml document properly. They fail at almost everything …

Read it. Re-read it. Read it to your family and friends. Recognize it for the warning it is. (Think that's an overstatement? Imagine how it is being read by Stephen Miller. By Tom Homan. By Pam Bondi.)

C’mon, the fairness doctrine was never what people seem to think it was. And it only covered broadcast. Broadcast isn’t our problem. And expecting such a solution in the age of the internet is not just impossible, but likely to be more dangerous than where we are now. Imagine Steven Miller writing …

Seriously, MAGA America, what the fuck did you expect to happen when you voted for someone as utterly unqualified as Donald Trump? Don’t bother blaming him. It’s all on you dipshits. All of it. Fuck you.

I don’t blame the people who recommended it, but @DishTV is one of the worst digital products I have ever owned. Navigating it’s maze of devices, software and methods has created the most miserable UX imaginable. I will eat the $360 early termination fee. That’s how bad this product is. #Beware.

.@DaveTroy - Maybe we need a nat’l referendum (unofficial, but still impactful) on whether the country has lost confidence in the constitution to protect us from a sham government that only fanatics and scoundrels believe has legitimacy. #StorytellingMatters. @radiofreetom

The only good news is by “flooding the zone” with so much damage, so fast, it may trigger the unexpected: Americans waking up to the fact that a cult of morons, in service to bigger morons, have seized their country and now threaten the entire planet.

Dow futures now down over 1500 points. They should close the market. This is going to be a bloodbath. On the bright side, guillotine futures are crushing it.
