It strikes me that many Americans are interpreting their experience with AI through the lens of Covid, and for some, this means the same people developing the virus are the ones promising to sell us the vaccine. They don't trust these people. Any of them. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/13/t...

Why is it nearly 7 AM and the sun hasn't risen? Something is up.
I wasn't watching tv when I saw the fireball from the second plane exploding towards me on 9/11, and in that moment the first thought that came to me was that we would be going to war in the Middle East, led by a President wholly compromised by the oil business, exactly the worst guy available.
The problem for Giuliani, Trump Paladino and the rest of the 9/11 pimps and fraudsters is that the firemen are on Mamdani’s side here. And the cops may soon join them. They should. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

There is a really dumb idea floating around in our discourse that many treat as a legitimate one, even a smart one. It is that “we” need to be the first to develop AI to insure that it is developed safely. Apply the same argument to the machine gun and you immediately see how stupid it is. Fantasy.
My client @briankarem.bsky.social is on his way to White House now to see if entry has been authorized. Secret Service has been responsive to me & stated no block from them exists. WH communication staff refuse to respond to access request or emails. Why is WH scared of Brian Karem?
My client @briankarem.bsky.social was prohibited from entering White House today. He has Congressional press pass & longtime former WH press pass holder/correspondent. Trump 1st Admin kicked him out. He sued. He won. Allowed back in. Now he is told Secret Service has him blocked. Why?

Newark, New Jersey has to be one of the ugliest cities in America. If there is an uglier city I don’t know what it is. There’s nowhere in the city that is not ugly. It is a disaster of city planning that punishes its residents by banishing everything remotely resembling beauty.

I have shoulder pain which I self-diagnosed as related to how I sleep (on my side, fetal position) which in turn is related to a state of hyper-vigilance I have maintained pretty much continuously since 9/11. One solution is hugging a pillow so you don't compress your traps. I tried it. It works.
