It's real cool how my old Google Assistant could handle things like turning off internet-connected devices, but the new and improved AI version just tells me it did it, without doing it, or spits out a string of python code, like we're aliens talking at each other in our own languages.

If Kamala somehow became the nominee again (she won't) , it would be deeply ironic when the GOP used this line of attack against her.

A word I try avoid because I think it's "soft language" (sensu George Carlin) used to avoid difficult subjects is "problematic." State the facts, interpretations, or your opinions. But don't shade reality. If you can't do that, then you have aren't really saying anything.
I had a thought a few months ago, probably influenced by caring for aging parents (the "sandwich generation," they call those of us with young kids), that we're going to have a long ride watching the Baby Boomers exit the stage, and here we are.
Here's why we're talking about Hasan Piker:
Alex Janevski@alexjanevski.bsky.social · 5mo agoI think it's pretty simple: it's propaganda. Ilhan Omar is not exactly a valid "she's an anti-semite" target to attack for Dems the way she is for the GOP, so they're turned on goalseek at the AIPAC consultants' meeting and decided to find another left-leaning strawman to knock down and Piker is it.

Nathan Cofnas focused early in his career on the work of an anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist and white supremacist named Kevin McDonald, who claimed Jews were infiltrating society to destroy it. Cofnas then landed on "Jews are superior" and adopted "race realism" - AKA, white supremacy.
This week on this here app I've seen people defend catfishing because the fisher had previously been abused, claim that posting a historical woodcut was a death threat, and defend a grifter in the Trump administration because she's a victim, too. And I just have to ask, WTF is wrong with everyone?
