    Sen. Mark Kelly comments: Kelly, who served as a U.S. Navy combat pilot and a NASA astronaut, said after serving his country for so long, he never thought he would "see a President call for my execution." "I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. https://www.12news.com/article/news/local/arizona/mark-kelly-president-donald-trump-social-media-arizona/75-c0affd46-960d-4684-9a03-1e2f0a762896

    I think @Horace's ChatGPT summaries here have scared me away. I never want to be like Horace.

    I know you were being sarcastic, but coding...? Not really, with Gemini 3 coming out and "vibe coding" and "agentic coding", plus of course Claude Code and others... we really are on the edge of a cliff of just being a coder is no longer valuable. Weird to say. I have more to say but I'll shift it to the AI threads.

    In a new study published on Thursday, researchers sent a type of moss called Physcomitrium patens to the International Space Station (ISS). This moss didn't get to live in the comfy more-or-less Earth-like confines of the station, but rather was put outside into the harshness of space for nine months. https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/space-moss-9.6984791

    I think Gavin's Willie Horton would have to be in California, not Florida. You can bet if there is one the GOP is aware of it and will trot it out when needed.

    Yeah the system certainly has a bunch of slack in the line. Prosecutorial discretion, plea deals, and so forth. Lots of gray area. A President going after people who said mean things about him does not have as much gray area. Sorry, grey* area, @Doctor-Phibes

    I'm glad he's as old as he is. If he was 20 years younger I think his behaviour would be a lot more concerning.

    The PC is the diagonal, and the internet is the frog. Because a good analogy is like a diagonal frog.

    apparently some of us are coming around to the realization that there can be legit principled people who made up the maga movement. Just kidding, that realization is not within their grasp.

    @89th said in The one thing that can save traditional media?: @Mik said in The one thing that can save traditional media?: @jon-nyc The problem with that is they are sampling things that have already been created. Once AI is most all of what's out there to sample you get into this content death spiral. Funny, I was just thinking this morning how content could get into its own self-referencing vortex. It seems like a solvable problem. Not too worried about that one.
