Yeah, they said they kill 200 Russian soldiers for every kilometer they claim. That’s a steep price to pay for a little bit of territory, but it sounds like Russia is willing to pay it, and it’s working. Not for the soldiers, but for “Russia,” I guess.

What’s wrong with being “performative?” What does that even mean anyway? He doesn’t really want this stuff, he’s just doing it to look good? So what? If it gets done, I’m happy. I like performative.

He balanced the budget: Not really, he had to cut deals, shuffle things, etc. Yeah, no kidding, that’s how you balance a budget. It only looks weird to all these politicians because they’ve never actually done it before.

Or filling potholes: I don’t care if it is “performative,” all I know is that 6 inch deep pothole that’s been growing in front of my building for the last three years is finally filled. “Performative” works just fine for me. More politicians should try it.

Its matter of time until they try to grab the wrong person, and someone starts shooting, and it turns into a street battle. It’s inevitable, and “PeeWee Himmler” would love nothing more.

Probably fishing through Domestic Violence Court records.

They knew. His propensity for violence was a primary qualification.

Ah! I know what you mean. I’ve bought it a 1000 times, and it was great, but a few jars ago, I got a jar that was far softer. Not exactly liquid, but it was thinner than usual. I didn’t have any problems keeping it on the spoon, and I ate it anyway.

That’s not normal, though, and subsequent jars have been fine.

Nah, wealthy big shots like him think that everything that falls out of their mouth is a nugget of mind-blowing genius.

I’m not tithing. God should provide, that’s his thing.

I won’t get in the way, if they want to drop him in the middle of a refugee zone, and let him explain himself.

Don’t give the AI MAGAs any ideas.

Ever drive in DC traffic? I hate Vance, but I get it. It would be hard to ignore that option if it was available to you.

Let me guess, Pistol Pete is going to do the assessments personally, by cupping the balls of only the most manly of soldiers, because he can judge the amount of testosterone by the weight.

RFK, Jr showed them how to do it, he’s been doing it all his life, and they all had a hilarious night in the Oval Office, practicing on each other. Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller had the tiniest balls, and cried about it. It was hilarious.

Good times, good times…

Yes, it should. The MAGA-style McCarthy hearings finally ended when one defendant hollered

“Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?”

It resonated with both the government, and the American people, and it ended McCarthy’s power instantly.

I’m not sure it’s possible to stop MAGA in its tracks with one sentence, but statements like this, strong challenges that make EVERY newscast, go a long ways in giving struggling MAGAs a strong dose of second-hand cringe. The first step in converting them will be making them embarrassed to be associated with those MAGA losers, and a constant stream of clips like this will do that.

We need a lot more condescending “Bless your hearts” from Democrats, until the MAGAs feel like retards, and run away.

Of course they can. Nixon wasn’t convicted, or even charged, yet Ford pardoned him.

The other day, I tried to get Co-Pilot to create a piece of artwork for me. It got about 90% there on the first couple of passes, but that final 10% needed to be done.

So I gave it some explicit instructions on what to fix, and it confirmed them, and I told it to render it. Then it announced my image, but it wasn’t there, I had to ask for it. Then it wanted me to upload the ORIGINAL image again, and a bunch more stuff, never actually spitting out an amended image.

Finally, it said that I had used up all my free requests, and would have to wait for the next reset, or upgrade. It had obviously deliberately wasted my free attempts, so it could try to persuade me to upgrade to a paid plan. I reminded it that the last 8-10 prompts resulted in NO IMAGES at all, which the AI acknowledged it had failed to do, and understood my frustration.

So it offered to keep me company until the reset.

I eventually took part of one image, added part of another image, which I cleaned up manually, and had the image I wanted in the first place.

AI is like the worst employee I’ve ever experienced. If it were real, I would fire it every day.

What are AI Chinese dramas? How much is AI? Just the script, or is the entire thing AI animated? Where do you see these programs?

In 1897, they built the first music synthesizer. It worked, but it took up the basement of an entire city-block sized building, so it was essentially useless. After a few decades of development, it could fit in a suitcase, and be carried around.

Data Centers are like that 1897 synthesizer. Sure, it works, but at what cost? It clearly isn’t ready for prime time. Go back to the drawing board, tweak the problems, including regulations, and maybe in a couple of decades, we take another run at the new and improved version.

I’ll bet none of that delectable lab grown meat contains any micro plastics, unless they add it for authenticity: “Now with Microplastics!”

Become a tourist in your own town. Find out what the big attractions are, and visit them. People love in a city, and never visit the museums, parks, libraries, etc.

Or expand your music by getting into recording. You can get Digital Audio Workstation software for free (I like Reaper and Ableton), and start recording yourself playing and singing, and since it lets you overdub, you can do all the background vocals, and even the other instruments. The learning curve is steep, and it’s almost like learning an entirely new instrument, but it’s fascinating, challenging, and fun.

Or find other players, and put together a little band, just for fun.

At least he’s not an enabler of Pedophiles, like those who didn’t vote them out when they had a chance.
