I revisit this whenever I need a laugh.
Or a little song, a little dance... a little seltzer down the pants.
@brdiller.bsky.socialOh no, this is "disturbing" and raises "questions". I'm sure that TFG is trembling with fear right now. 🤬

@brdiller.bsky.social@brdiller.bsky.socialTFG put $90 from Social Security into my bank account. So I just now visited ActBlue and sent half of it to James Talarico and half of it to Gina Hinojosa. I couldn't keep that $90. It's blood money.
@brdiller.bsky.socialLLMs like ChatGPT are 'narrow artificial intelligence". They have not achieved Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), much less Artificial Superintelligence (ASI). So I will not be referring to LLMs as "SI". Go ahead and put me on the enemies list.
@brdiller.bsky.social@brdiller.bsky.socialThis was one of the first albums that I ever bought. I still have it, with the die-cut spinner cover. "Immigrant Song" was the big hit, but "Since I've Been Loving You" is still my favorite.
@brdiller.bsky.socialJames Earl Rudder led his 2nd Ranger Battalion in a attack on Pointe du Hoc as part of the D-Day landings. His men scaled 100 foot cliffs under enemy fire to destroy a Nazi gun battery. He was wounded twice in the battle.
No testosterone shots were needed.

@brdiller.bsky.socialI want to see Stanford play Samford in a football game. And if UConn-Stamford had a football team, I'd want to see them play the winner of Stanford/Samford. Why? Because the chaos in the announcing booth would be glorious.
@brdiller.bsky.socialJohn Stewart nailed this. Let's stop pretending that the overwhelming majority of Republicans will ever stand up or break from DJT. "You're getting our hopes up, Lucy."
@brdiller.bsky.socialBreaking news: The 7 people who don't have EVs in 2031 will have to pay more for gas.
@brdiller.bsky.socialSI is just another MAGA shibboleth. It'll be fun to see which, if any, of my favorite IT websites start using it. And LLMs like ChatGPT are not "artificial intelligence", in the technical sense, much less "super intelligence".
@brdiller.bsky.socialAwesome song. Thank you for sharing!
@brdiller.bsky.socialRespectfully disagree 🤠
@brdiller.bsky.social@michelleroy78.bsky.social is spittin' facts!
@brdiller.bsky.socialNothing screams "Land of Liberty, Home of the Free" more than a sniper tower in the nation's capitol.
@brdiller.bsky.socialI'm reading some FB comments from folks in my hometown in deep-red Oklahoma. They all still massively Republican. These are folks who all want to be paid for their work in cash so they don't risk losing their Disability checks. Crazy stuff.
@brdiller.bsky.socialBarricades are reportedly going up around the Kennedy Center. I have a very bad feeling. The East Wing was bulldozed before anyone knew what was happening.
@brdiller.bsky.socialWow, I wish I had been a Dingo Man! Just like "Super" Joe Namath! Golly. (March 1972)
@brdiller.bsky.social“La shukra ala wajeb.” There is no thanks for a duty. Well, this may not matter much, but: Thank you, Macklemore!
@brdiller.bsky.socialI'm off FB. I haven't canceled, but I check my feed maybe once a week. It's always ads and posts by people I don't know. Oh, and angry posts by old 'friends' when anyone mentions Global Warming or criticizes TFG. BlueSky has been great. I haven't had anyone tell me I hate America in days! 😁
@brdiller.bsky.socialThis happened just a very few months after 9/11. My wife and I watched it on TV and wept big tears. Leave it to an Irish band to give the cathartic performance that all of us Americans needed.
