I am going through the ballot with a fine tooth comb and am totally discouraged. No good candidates..proposed measures have so much double-speak and gray area to make a good decision. If semi-smart people like me struggle, how can people who have not even looked at a ballot vote?

I know this is probably what "they" want. I believe in the right to vote, but when it's all crap and convoluted, how can we expect people to actually know what's best?

If you're a podcaster... or know a podcaster... or want to be a guest on more podcasts... you really need to take a look at show.fm. Had a thorough walkthrough yesterday (thanks @wpbuilds and @danmaby). Blown away 🤯. I want to start a podcast now!

Hey @comcastbusiness making your modem/routers so that the only way to change the SSID is through your stupid app which gives IT people full access to the account may be one of the dumbest things I have ever seen.

Hey @TMZ I don't typically watch you although I know your reporting is generally accurate, but the way you set your stage for your newscasts seems contrived and... weird. If you want natural look of colleagues talking, do it in tbe break room with people walking in and out.

Listening to a lot of classic rock lately and realizing that Walken was right. More cowbell. Definitely more cowbell.

Maybe humans fear AI deciding that humanity is a problem because, deep down, we already know there is a case to be made. What frightens us may not be that AI would misunderstand humanity, but that it would understand us too well.

Nothing says stability like ousting someone and then reinstating them a couple days later... awesome optics.

Gemini just corrected me on a text message I was sending to Gina with updated information. I am not sure how I feel about that.

I just became the "Get Off My Lawn" guy and called in a noise complaint on our neighbors. When you cannot even hear anything in your own house, it's a little loud. And they did not even invite us to the party!
