Trump is not healthy.

"You just put a bunch of facts together and then leap to a conclusion..." He's no Sherlock Holmes, is he?

“We left their military alone” - bragged for months about how we completely destroy their military. "Mistakes have been made in wars where you wipe out everybody and then you have a country that for 40 years can never rebuild" - talked about bombing them back to the Stone Age, and worse.

Reposting this, because it seems particularly relevant today.

This is an AI news announcer, struggling with "WWE." Or, for short: this is AI.

So, in his sermon to Cadets, Hegseth quoted Charlie Kirk using a proverb, "This too shall pass," that originated with Persian poets in the 12th-13th century. Is he being deeply ironic, or just historically ignorant? And his usage is stupid, regardless.

Late-stage narcissism.

Just imagine: we know that MAGA is losing members, and we know that it's losing the more intelligent members first. So, this is what's left: people who like what he's saying here.

"I've leveraged my wealth and corporate power to influence very President to help my company be successful at the expense of the American people. Because I know what's best, and I'm an equal-opportunity oligarch."

Tell me this doesn't remind you of the cockroach guy in "Men in Black."

Which is more plausible: Vance really is THIS stupid, which is about as stupid as a person can be. Or, he's just THIS willing to say anything, no matter how stupid, to further the MAGA agenda.

So, @aptshadow.bsky.social is a damn good (and spookily prolific) author. But for me, his most insightful observation might just be his "metagame" concept from "Bear Head." Here's Elon Musk, providing even more empirical evidence. He doesn't know a damn thing about software!

It's a military hospital, a military research facility, and a secure place for people to congregate. For the love of god, can we stop calling it a "ballroom" and start calling it what it actually is: a bunker with a fancy roof.

For sure, use AI the next time you're buying a car.

I got a surprising amount of enjoyment out of this one.
