Researchers say true artificial intelligence still a long way off. But artificial stupidity right around the corner. ubergizmo.com/2011/11/no-rea…

Baseball legend #RickeyHenderson dies at 65. Greatest leadoff hitter ever and all time stolen base champ. If Father Time can catch Rickey, we're all in trouble.

Baseball legend #PeteRose dies at 83. #CharleyHustle played hard, partied harder. And bet on his own team which got him banned from the game he loved. Now baseball is partners with every gambling outlet there is. Will they finally put him in the #HallofFame? Bet on it...

#JamesEarlJones passes at 93. Moonlight Graham from #FieldofDreams and the voice of #DarthVader among many amazing roles. What sucks the most is the person who could announce this with the most gravitas and authority ... is now gone.

#Trump evades reporter question about his false claims that #Harris campaign rally photos are #AI. Substitute the word "dick" for "crowd" and look at this gathering of his and you begin to understand why he's so obsessed with crowd size.

#JDVance criticizes military record of VP rival #TimWalz. Who wants to be the one to tell Couch Boy that his boss, Private Bone Spurs, is the biggest military service evader of them all?

#Trump refutes Dems claims that he and Couch Boy #JDVance are weird by saying they're "just the opposite." The Lady doth protest too much, methinks. In fact, it's even weirder that they think they're not.

#SimoneBiles leads US women's gymnastics team to victory in Paris with major domination on vault routine. And you know the thing about vaults - that's where they keep the #gold!

Shame on you, #KamalaHarris, for confusing poor #Trump. One day you're Indian, the next you're black. Make up your mind. I mean, what's next, Jewish step children? Seriously, how's a guy supposed to know what slur to use?

#AP wire service debunks ridiculous story floating around the internet that #JDVance once had sex with a couch. Fact check turned up that the couch just wasn't that into him.

Bues legend #JohnMayall dies at age 90. You may not know of him but you've heard of #EricClapton, #MickTaylor, #MickFleetwood, #JackBruce and a bunch of other superstars who all started out in Mayall's #Bluesbreakers. Forget the moment of silence - play some 8 to the bar instead.

#Trump characterizes himself as a "fine and brilliant young man." Well, 25 percent true is a pretty high score for him.

Comic genius #BobNewhart dies at 94. The guy on one end of countless prop phone calls was ever the reasonable man in a ridiculous world. The world is getting more and more ridiculous and there are fewer and fewer reasonable men. Please, don't hang up on us, Bob.

#Trump rushed offstage to safety from rally after "popping sounds" which might have been #gunshots reportedly heard. Uninjured, supposedly. Just ask yourself -- which side wants little to no restriction on guns, and which advocates for stricter laws?

If ever there was an unlikely "fitness guru" it had to be #RichardSimmons, who passed today at 76. Pudgy guy with Jew-fro, headband and way-too-tight shorts had millions of followers for his workout videos and classes. You can rest now, dude.

Judge dismisses involuntary manslaughter charges against #AlecBaldwin in fatal on-set shooting case, due to evidence "ignored or buried" by prosecutors. So he dodged the bullet -- sadly, more than can be said for cinematographer #HalynaHutchins.

Baseball legend #WillieMays passes at 93. Couldn't outrun Father Time, but he blew the doors off everyone else. Speed, power, athletic grace and a flair for the dramatic. What can you say, but #SayHey!

Great news for mass shooters - #SupremeCourt shoots down (sorry!) ban on #bumpstocks which make semi automatic weapons easier to fire at near-machine gun rate. Now, go enjoy #FathersDay weekend everybody. And keep your head down.

#Trump calls Milwaukee, host to GOP convention, "a terrible city." But... the beer!

Pulled from my closet and to be displayed to honor the great #JerryWest who has died at 86. More than 25,000 points in his 14 year career, and listed for 81 steals. But that's not counting stealing #Kobe in the most lopsided trade ever. Laker Legend, Mr. Clutch. Oh, and #TheLogo.

Justice #ClarenceThomas says he "inadvertently omitted" to report millions of dollars in gifts from his billionaire buddy #HarlanCrow." Harlan is not the only "Crow" that comes to mind where Thomas is concerned.
