Cranky, old, and tired.
And I have a MLIS, so don’t fuck with me on provenance and original order.

AI has only one clear attribute. It lets untalented people avoid paying talented people.

A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans:

1940: 81%
1950: 84%
1960: 91%
1970: 72%
1980: 70%
1990: 28%
2000: 40%
2010: 35%

For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.

"Sanders leading the anti-AI charge is a critical mission. The Democratic Party and the country desperately need a leader who isn’t afraid of being portrayed as a Luddite or anti-business and will therefore forcefully air concerns about the proliferation of AI." newrepublic.com/article/208635/bernie-sanders-ai-oligarchs

I’m vibe coding a next-gen resume analyzer. It ingests the job desc, runs a semantic scan of your CV, and generates a personalized, actionable gap-analysis report. The best part? No matter what you upload, it instantly returns: "Nah, you're fucked, mate." because what's the point anymore.

Imagine devoting your life's work to perfecting the seatbelt and then the first time there's a serious accident every occupant of the car goes flying right through the windshield. This post is about the founding fathers.

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

The U.S. will emerge from this period diminished as a world power, absent the alliances that once made us dominant.

That’s good. Because we are not a serious people.

A serious people would not have elected him. Or put up with this. Unserious people shouldn’t be trusted.

And won’t be.

Let’s just take a moment to absorb this.Netanyahu whose government ignored 9 months of specific warnings before October 7th, who has overseen the destruction of Gaza & the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians,who is actively on trial for corruption is still polling neck & neck for re-election.

We don’t really GAF that Kristi Noem’s husband is a closeted cross-dresser, do we?

We care about the absolutely off-the-charts hypocrisy from Noem and so many other Republicans. There’s a reason why Grindr crashes during CPAC.

It takes SIXTEEN paragraphs for the New York Times to mention why the administration wanted to destroy nearly $10 million in contraception:

It's because they claim the stockpile of IUDs, birth control pills, and hormonal implants are “abortifacient birth control.”

Celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States with the dumbest, most corrupt president ever in power is a bit like celebrating a wedding anniversary after your spouse murdered all your children and drained your bank accounts.

I joined the Times Tech Report to talk about how only 4GW of data centers have been built globally in the last year, and how despite 200+GW in progress, only 5GW is under construction - and it isn't clear if they have the power.

Oh, and AI startups only lose money.

We cannot call ourselves a country of liberty and justice for all until we fully investigate and prosecute every perpetrator in the Epstein files — starting with the President.
