Maybe I should file a complaint with the FCC against the Trump White House for editing his unhinged 60 Minutes interview.
It will use the exact same language Trump lodged against Vice President Harris.

A quotation from Charles Mackay
Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.
Charles Mackay (1814-1889) Scottish poet, journalist, song writer
Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, Preface (1841)

The greater part of the population is not very intelligent, dreads responsibility, and desires nothing better than to be told what to do. Provided the rulers do not interfere with its material comforts and its cherished beliefs, it is perfectly happy to let itself be ruled.

Thanks to Karen Hao's brilliant book Empire of Al, I learned that drinking water is the ONLY type of water can be used to cool data centers.
Not wastewater. Not salt water. Only drinking water.
We are sacrificing our DRINKING water, so depraved tech loons can try to build themselves a god.
Generative Al is a deathcult

A quotation by Harris, Sydney J.Men may be divided almost any way we please, but I have found the most useful distinction to be made between those who devote their lives to conjugating the verb âto beâ and those who spend their lives conjugating the verb âto have.âSydney J. Harris (1917-1986) Anglo-American columnist, journalist, author
For the Time Being, ch. 6, epigram (1972)

Quote of the day:SOMETIMES THE FIRST STEP TO FORGIVENESS IS UNDERSTANDING THAT THE OTHER PERSON IS A COMPLETE IDIOT.
#quote #forgiveness by #smileandshine
âWhat an astonishing thing a book is. Itâs a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and youâre inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.â
