AI may result in the downfall of civilization - but it's a godsend for meme production.

@89th said: You wonder what Vance's wife says in private. She has a remarkable poker face, but you know she is DYING inside for the sake of her husband's potential career. I would not be so sure. It's not uncommon for a wife to be supportive of her husband's career aspirations.

It ain't just in Minnesooota.

I use Gemini (aka TARS) on a 2nd vertical monitor at work. I mostly type in questions such as figuring out the best technical query or advice on how to integrate 2 systems. So it's mostly a powerful search engine with pretty good answers by default. I also use it to generate an image here and there, such as for a corporate blog I manage each week.

I remember leading up to the 2024 election there was some momentum behind a potential Carlson candidacy if Trump was going to be in prison. I could see it. Also, that first sentence...imagine saying that out loud 15 years ago during the Carlson bow-tie and Trump apprentice years.

89th said: It’ll be a night launch. Wish it was daylight but that’s only possible for one or two of these dates in April. [image: 1769429526740-1655d638-aa34-41fa-82d4-0af9ebe482f4-image.png] I'm glad we got lucky with the April 1st date. As I noted earlier, there were a few options that had a daytime launch, and what a spectacular launch that was. I know there's recency bias, but to my eyes and many who've seen plenty of launches, it was one of the most beautiful launches (visually) they've ever seen.

Doubling down? How’s he sell this? As a jobs program? https://x.com/polymarket/status/2039775349500698951?s=46

I like Piers. He's consistent.

Heh. https://x.com/davidafrench/status/2039428864997220514?s=46

Saw it this afternoon. Delightful movie, and deserving of all the accolades it's gotten. I went to an IMAX theater - though it really didn't need IMAX. However, the seats were standard, small, uncomfortable seats from the 1960s. After 20 minutes of trailers and 2:20 of movie, my butt was sore. Still pretty, but sore.

The best jokes have a hint of truth.

We see you, Mr. Noem! So proud!

In the meantime however….

In Horace’s defense she has a lovely avatar.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/us/politics/trump-jews-penn-list-judge.html Federal Judge Approves Trump Effort to Obtain List of Jews From Penn ... “Though ineptly worded, the request had an understandable purpose — to obtain in a narrowly tailored way, as opposed to seeking information on all university employees, information on individuals in Penn’s Jewish community who could have experienced or witnessed antisemitism in the workplace,” he wrote. The judge, however, said that the university would not have to reveal any employee’s connection to “a specific Jewish-related organization.”
