Is there anything AI *can't* do? Well... I need to speak to someone at Simon and Schuster. I asked Gemini if they had a phone number. Ten solid minutes later it gave up. The answer was a ten-digit number in the public domain, and it couldn't hack it. Claude did it in 2 seconds.

Nonsense, Dr. Cassidy. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was so obviously a pathologically lying sociopath when he was nominated you couldn't possibly have taken his word intelligently on anything he said. You just looked the other way because you wanted to please Donald Trump. How’d that work out for you?

CNBC: Do you regret voting for RFK Jr? BILL CASSIDY: If you want to tell me that somebody didn't tell me the truth, and I should've seen in the future they were not gonna tell the truth, you can say, 'Bill you should've seen into the future'

I understand why people do streaming in their car. It's like an instant sound booth. The acoustics are better than anything you can contrive at home. BUT NOT WHILE DRIVING.

We don't need him to lead a podcast about reading. We need him to lead a coalition of left/center/white/black/Asian/Latino voters to swamp and destroy the GOP. He's the only national leader with that kind of range.

Former president Barack Obama, an avid reader, will host a new podcast on Audible starting next month. “At a time when fewer people are able to sit down with a book, it’s important to remember the joy and power that can come from reading,” he said.

You can’t make this up. The “libertarian” wants to prosecute the witness for invoking their Constitutional rights.

Breaking news: A Senate committee voted to hold Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after he declined to answer questions under his Fifth Amendment right and accused the committee chairman, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), of trying to wrongly entrap him.

One drum I keep beating is that the Trumpification of the Republican Party is irreversible. Even after he's gone it will be exclusively cranks, charlatans, and malevolent antisocial goons. "It was always like that"-it wasn't! It's gotten steadily, measurably worse, and he was the nail in the coffin

New, from me: It is fine to disagree with aspects of the pandemic response. But what we saw at Fauci's hearing was something different: a show trial where cranks tried to threaten and shift blame to an public servant. Here is why this is bad for all of us.🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/watching-t...

Of course. Everything Trump can do to make peoples' lives worse, he will do. His mission is to destroy the US. Or is he only acting that way?
