Dying at anyone thinking of Frey as the "literary bad boy." He was last seen whimpering pathetically on Oprah when it was revealed all the "bad" things he did in his memoir were made up.

The three media professions with no standards for accuracy and where being consistently wrong is in fact rewarded are political pundit, sports commentator, and tech "journalist." The successful in each field realize the job is mindlessly boosting your team

Ukraine just carried out what may prove to be the most strategically devastating insurgent attack on military assets in the 21st century, an eighteen month cross border drone infiltration / raid potentially destroying a third or so of Russia's best long range bombers

Several times I've asked AI evangelists how they expect society to handle their predicted mass unemployment and every time they've just kind of mumbled "well UBI will just HAVE to happen." None have a theory of how. What about American politics makes you think that could happen? Pure fanfic.

Central fallacy tech evangelists fall for--see crypto, NFTs, GenAI, etc.--is idea new tech must inevitably improve our lives or else be abandoned. Much of the time tech simply makes life worse and improves nothing beyond companies' bottom lines where worse but cheaper equals money
