I believe the defining principle of AI converges on "just because you _can_ do something does not mean you _should_ do that something"...

Just got a cryptic email "receipt.pdf" from a state government site that was actually linked to a ".msi" (Microsoft Installer executable) file. My system(s) deflected it, but if you get any similar messages -- be careful.

The email source domain was "https://t.co/pQrmSbazxa".

How many noticed the stock market is now _under_ 50,000?

Time to paraphrase the old slam against the 1980 Rams... The KC Chiefs might move to Kansas, but the offense will probably stall in Westport......

Andy Reid is (again) playing wild and loose with the offense, throwing the defense under the bus.

I'm ready to see him and Nagy go. (Unfortunately that may mean a total re-shuffle, but we have lost ground each of the last three years.)

@HayleyLewis_ Coaching.

And, yes, I realize... "first world problem" that's rather inconsequential in these times. About all I watch there (that I can think of) is ABC World News Tonight, and I can pull it off of antenna.

YouTube TV and Disney are at odds, so no Disney channels there for now.

Streaming is becoming as obnoxious to deal with as telecoms, banks, and other "intangible, but we know you aren't paying enough for our 'servces' " entities...

@briantylercohen I'm waiting for the manufacturers of Tylenol to sue the administration for singling out their specific product by brand name. (Because Trump couldn't pronounce "a-seat-a-men-o-fen" on several attempts.)

[Dennis Doms @DennisDoms]

The referees "missed" another Eagle's "false start" clearly caught on video during today's broadcast vs the Rams. NFL, if you can't capably "adjudicate " the play, given the disproportionate advantage it may offer, why do you leave it in? (While promoting gambling tie-ins?)

@Fictiontokk I liked that (green) Kryptonite was treated as in the comics; something that depletes him as radiation, not that immediately supersedes powers like invulnerability. (Tropes using stabbing/cutting weapons of kryptonite irked me.) [Still underwhelmed with Gunn's "vision" overall.]

[Dennis Doms @DennisDoms]

This administration does not need to usher people into railcars. Actions and policies effectively poison, imprison, infect, and impoverish them in place. When the whole country is a Gulag where autocrats rule unchallenged by fiat, gathering victims is not a practical necessity.

[Dennis Doms @DennisDoms]

@Cadigan Lesser known, but I really appreciated him in _Vengeance Unlimited_ (TV series that only survived briefly).

[Dennis Doms @DennisDoms]

@YouTubeTV _Brimstone_.

@JoyceCarolOates Nursery to MAGA. Now with added shade.

@donwinslow Competence vs. ignorance-fu

If protest and resistance fails, this is no longer America.

_Mickey 17_ was a lot more allegorically impactful than I anticipated...

[Dennis Doms @DennisDoms]

@thejackhopkins Or maybe it was the incredible failure(s) of Trump University.
