If AI is so advanced, why can’t we have accurate closed captioning? Something like 25 million Americans are deaf or hearing impaired. #closedcaptioning #deaf #AI

China invented bacon

@elonmusk is an autocrat, rich prick, hypocrite and bully. I do like Starlink however

#WorldCup just got very Messi!

#UkraineRussianWar Here’s an idea: Why don’t all those unemployed defense contractors we had in Iraq and Afghanistan head over to Ukraine for some pro bono work?

Anyone else notice that Amb. Kurt Volcker sounds just like actor David Strathairn? Next movie: The Bourne Ukraine Ultimatum #ImpeachmentHearings

#podcast question: why do so many journalists at the NYTimes sound like they have sinus problems?

I like to watch @MSNBC to have my biases confirmed. But why do they have the same dozen or so people/pundits/experts on every goddamned show?
