Despite appearances, I don't love posting doom and gloom that might make other people worry, but if you haven't applied for a job in the past year or so, it's probably about 700-3000x worse than you're expecting with all the AI garbage and systems now. It's awful out here. 😫😩

Let's say Skubal goes to the Dodgers. Is this significantly worse for MLB 2027 than if he went to the Yankees or Mets? I'm kinda sick of the Dodgers, always against the Yankees, and perma-bemused by the Mets. I don't really have any preference here but curious if there are Reasons he shouldn't go.

Escorting the nine-year-old to a friend’s birthday pool party, I told him I wasn’t going to swim in part because I’m dressed for work. He told me I could just jump in like Mamdani did. This is what socialism does to our children.

lol. Mark, you're a smart guy supposedly (idk), but how do you reconcile that no socialists consider them real socialists? We all know this IS the moderate, diluted version that America probably won't accept but we gotta try anyway. You're far more of a problem by trying to make this one.

We are witnessing MAGA equivalent of destruction of Democratic Party through election of progressive Socialists. If you think this ends well for country, I believe you're sadly mistaken. Extremism on one side simply fuels opposite growth on other side. We need moderates.

I know we don't like him to put it mildly, but I can't tell you how sick I am, after over 10 years now, of people trying to say he has dementia. Don't think anyone with direct experience with dementia would say this. Yes he's aged obviously, but he's the same person he's always been.

I get folks not involved in education might not realize how severe the current situation is but... The speed and magnitude of how capitalism driven AI has infiltrated education is horrifying.
