@Rothmus Meanwhile, in California!

Correct.

The fear over AI is palpable. So, it's time for my optimistic take .... Why the AI doom-and-gloom story is missing the bigger picture A lot of people hear “AI” and immediately think one of two things: it’s just Google search on steroids, or it’s a magic machine coming for everyone’s job. Both miss the bigger picture. A job is not one single task; it’s a bundle of tasks supported by a massive, fragmented software stack. Email, spreadsheets, presentations, Slack, CRM platforms, and, in finance, a Bloomberg Terminal, FactSet, and market data feeds. For millions of jobs, the cost of software to provide basic tools for these tasks can run to $1,000 a month, and more for complicated roles. Much of the modern workday is consumed by the friction of this stack: moving data between systems, cleaning spreadsheets, searching for files, and summarizing meetings. AI is emerging as the new interface for enterprise software. Think about the iPhone. It collapsed cameras, GPS devices, and music players into one simple, powerful device. AI is doing something similar for workplace software, turning 10 clunky programs that don't talk to each other into a single conversational prompt. Just as we stopped buying standalone cameras and tape recorders once the smartphone came around, companies will happily pay for an AI layer. It will be far cheaper and eliminate the bloated costs of that fragmented software stack that requires you to perform endless, mundane tasks because these programs do not talk to each other. The immediate fear is that if AI lets three people do the work of five, companies will fire two people. But that ignores economic history. When the electronic spreadsheet was invented, the cost of calculations plummeted. But accounting jobs didn't vanish; demand for complex financial modeling exploded. Accounting clerks became financial analysts, a more in-demand role. Jevons Paradox suggests that making a resource more efficient actually increases total demand for it. By absorbing the drudgery, AI allows the employee to focus on judgment and strategy—making the human element more valuable, not less. In this framework, demand for high-output workers doesn't shrink; it explodes. Does this justify the mind-numbing capital expenditure currently pouring into AI infrastructure? If AI fulfills this promise of enterprise-wide productivity, the investment isn't just justified—it’s a bargain. That said, we are clearly near the peak of a hype cycle, just like the internet was in 1999. But remember: the dot-com crash did not mean the internet was a bust. It simply meant the hype outpaced the infrastructure. After the wreckage cleared, the optimistic predictions about connectivity and productivity were not only fulfilled—they were exceeded. The same path can lie ahead for AI. And instead of the fear that AI will replace workers, it's the joy of replacing soulless busywork, making jobs more fulfilling... and more profitable for employers.

Holy sht. Turns out, this ad campaign by the Philly sheriff cost taxpayers $600k!

🚨 Hey @LeaderJohnThune, do your fcking job and get it done! Pass the SAVE America Act!

🚨HOLY CRAP!!! Davidson County TN officials are PANICKING right now... ...because illegal-immigrant families could lose their kids' free government healthcare if they cannot verify legal status. Read that again. ...I WAS TOLD NO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WERE GETTING FREE HEALTHCARE???!!! I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A FAR-RIGHT CONSPIRACY!!! Now Tennessee passes ONE law requiring verification... ...and Davidson County officials are saying out loud, on the record, that the kids of people who CANNOT prove they are here legally have been on the state benefit roll the whole time. They were lying. They were ALWAYS lying!!!!!

There are 46 vagrant fires every single day in LA…rubbish and encampment fires that destroy property, vehicles, kill pets, spread to vegetation, and compromise infrastructure. That’s 17,000+ fires per year. Until you clear vagrants from the streets, don’t pretend you’re serious about mitigating fire threats.

We survived this. And now Democrats are complaining about 3% inflation. Child, be serious.

What happened to the children?

@Milajoy To think Walz was one night away from becoming the 47th VP of the United States. 😳

Guy did a digital forensic audit of Minnesota in 2018, found $100+ BILLION in fraud, told everyone and no one did anything about it. Tim Walz belongs in prison.

Can someone remind me why we threw away hundreds of billions on Ukraine that was NOT our war? Oh that's right. They were laundering money back to the DNC. I keep forgetting that part.

🚨 WOW. Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey has been caught HIDING SNAP information from the Trump admin as Venezuelan nationals were exposed in a massive SNAP and unemployment fraud scheme Is EVERY blue state like this?! They are protecting the fraud!

@TiStick lol lip service may decline after all.

@RealJamesWoods Giving teeth to meth hoes seems completely counter productive.

Dumber than AOC. And there could be no lower bar.

@SumFacet Exactly! Her personal echo chamber.

@JayladyBug2 @GigglingGanon Ultrasounds. 😅

Administrative assistant for the city believe her feelings trump the rights of the citizens. In this tense encounter, an independent journalist enters city offices to exercise a basic legal right: inspecting the public records index. Under Washington state law (RCW 42.56.070), this document is required to be available for public inspection. It’s not a favor; it’s the law. ​Enter Sabrina Costik, an administrative assistant who claims to be "brand new" but is already attempting to rewrite the Constitution based on her personal feelings. ​The exchange highlights a growing and dangerous trend in public service—the idea that personal "traumas and triggers" override the civil rights of the public. Throughout the video, Sabrina argues that: ​Her "comfort level" should dictate where a citizen stands. ​Her "liberties" are being violated by a camera in a government building. ​Recording her is "incredibly rude," effectively prioritizing social etiquette over the First Amendment. ​The situation required the intervention of Deputy Chief Matt McKnight of the Chehalis Police Department. In a masterclass of de-escalation and legal clarity, McKnight had to explain the hard truth to his own staff: when you are a public servant in a public building, you do not have a "reasonable expectation of privacy" while performing your duties. ​McKnight—who is currently campaigning for Lewis County Sheriff—remained professional, but the core issue remains: Why are public employees being put behind counters without a fundamental understanding of the Bill of Rights? As far as McKnight, he is running for sheriff in 2026 and his understanding and respect for the rights of the citizens is everything you would want in county sheriff. That said, as far as Sabrina, ​when "I’m uncomfortable" becomes a tool to suppress transparency, the public loses.

@RealJamesWoods I sense a grift here, how much can they charge per tooth? Now add the anesthesiologist, Office visits, scans, etc. They know no boundaries. Steal, rinse, repeat the money laundering wash cycle.

Republicans are now flooding the voicemail of the Minnesota Speaker of the House, demanding the expulsion of state Rep. Aisha Gomez after she told a Republican colleague to “shoot himself” following the failure of a Democrat-led gun control bill. Here’s the number.

Notice… Dems trash Billionaires like Elon and Trump. Call them thieves who got rich by fraud and exploiting the poor. But… They NEVER call out Billionaire George Soros. Dems don’t hate Billionaires. They hate billionaires who don’t fund the destruction of America. Facts.

🚨 THIS IS WHAT REAL JUSTICE LOOKS LIKE @OutnumberedFNC! Healthcare company owner CONVICTED for running a $1 BILLION kickback scheme, PREYING on the sick and elderly, coercing them into buying unnecessary medical equipment to line his dirty pockets! DISGUSTING. These swamp parasites have been looting taxpayers and vulnerable Americans for years. Now he’s facing 20 YEARS in prison, and it’s about damn time! Lock these grifters up and throw away the key. The fight against fraud is ON!
