It’s not good enough to just “hope” that Big Tech billionaires do the right thing. Working people need real leadership from our elected officials and AI guardrails that protect our jobs and our rights… and prevent the Terminator. Workers should come before algorithms.

BARTIROMO: It feels like we're moving into a Terminator-type world HASSETT: I hope not and I think not. AI companies definitely have an incentive not to destroy the world. That would destroy their companies too.

I’m incredibly proud of being a part of LOOKING FORWARD with @jasonklamm.com It should’ve won one of these contests. The fact that two entirely separate groups of executives from two different networks BOTH chose it speaks volumes. We’re both still here @fxnetworks.com & @comedycentral.bsky.social

Twenty years ago a short film of mine was a semi-finalist in @fxnetworks.com's pilot contest. We lost, but thanks to @vpmattsaxe.bsky.social, we still pitched to FX. Next year we were one of only 5 finalists in a @comedycentral.bsky.social competition, the only submission to place in both contests.

The administration issued an executive order to shrink Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments by 3 MILLION acres. 🦌🏜️ This ignores the will of the people and could jeopardize sacred Indigenous cultural heritage sites and important wildlife habitat in Utah.

The satellite that watches the eastern United States for storms went blind for 20 hours in July. NOAA cannot yet say why. Its backup sits weeks away from taking over. This is what a warning system looks like after the people who ran it were cut and its research arm marked for the axe.

Up North is a huge area, and much of it remains far from flames. The entire North Shore of Lake Superior, for example, from Two Harbors through Grand Marais, has remained well away from any fire.

Not everything in northern Minnesota is on fire. Many businesses are safe and open.

Civic leaders acknowledge a delicate balance in trying to get the word out that many vacationers shouldn’t cancel plans.
