The top 11 movies worldwide so far this year are all sequels. The movie business seems like it is just regurgitating the same old stories over and over - much more original than the hallucinations of regular AI chatbots. I can almost guarantee some of the plots actually are being drafted with […]

I just saw a Trump ad that basically did nothing but bash Harris for supporting tax payer funded gender reassignment surgery. Meanwhile it promised Trump would give tax cuts and be good for the economy. Who falls for this BS? Why trust the guy who cuts taxes for billionaires and screwed […]

I was relating to a friend about the output of "chat" based AI apps. They are really auto-complete on steroids, nothing more. But to some extent many people generate output like that. They really have little to say that is original, just regurgitating what they have heard without any check on […]

Today I learned from the latest This American Life podcast about a menstrual cramps simulator that is transforming both men and women's understanding of the monthly ordeal of menstrual cramps. I also learned about PMO - short for Prosopometamorphopsia - an extremely rare brain disorder that […]

Got my ducks in a row this morning. I love this spot on the Las Vegas wash... #photography#LasVegas#TheStrat

Rachel Maddow's "From Russia With Lev" is 2 hours (with commercials) but devotes less than ten minutes to Lev's post conviction turn from the dark side. It could have at least spent way more time talking about all the president's men who continued to shield Trump - like Bill Barr. Instead of […]
