The lifecycle of governments clostly approximates the lifecycle of a star.

I've described ths several times over the years, to several people. It was originally a story I conceived that described the lifecycle of a company, but realized quickly that it applies to nearly any organization, and most especially government.

I thought to write it up for sharing so others can see what I see, but just now decided to ask grok to do it for me.

Grok nails it. I'm impressed.

Text in the next post in case the grok link is paywalled.

@MarcLobliner The number that have is non-zero.

I mean, not much has changed in 16 years, so...

I love the delicate layering of the lunch meat, how it drapes the store bought white bread so delicately. This is a textural masterpiece right here.

Or is that, dare I say, whole wheat? Of course it is! You'd use the entire wheat! No expense spared!

Amazing. Love. All together. Five stars.

Bisbee bound. A few unexpected clouds along the way, adding some texture to the trip.

1 hour in the air is always better than 4 in the car.

@doctorcalf Should've showed him your calves.

@Microsoft Something like this is a very big problem for a thought worker like me. You interrupted my flow. My brain does not have a "pause" button. There is no "hibernate" mode for my mind.

You might as well ask me to start over from the beginning.

2:40PM on a Thursday. Just wrapping up some things from a client meeting so I can ship the final hand-off documents. I'm 10 minutes out from being done. Windows wants to reboot. Required. Not asking; Telling.

You have 30 seconds to comply.

Fuck you, @Microsoft

@AntiDoc Literally yesterday I was lectured by my urologist telling me I should have a physician managing me because "blood viscosity and other things..."

Thanks dude. I probably know more about this than you do at this point.

Now shut up and put your gloves on.

[The Polymathematician @Doc_Polymath]

@gregmushen Reports from the dark side. Glad you make it out relatively unscathed.

Your findings are confirmation of the disorder. Strange things afoot at the circle k.

[The Polymathematician @Doc_Polymath]

@CoffeeBlackMD And you don't have to share your personal information and accounts with another third party that's making money with it somehow but you don't know how.

[The Polymathematician @Doc_Polymath]

I'd like to personally thank our politicians from all sides for turning my phone into yet another unusable communication device.

Every single call and text is political crap.

[The Polymathematician @Doc_Polymath]

@CoffeeBlackMD How does a bottle like that hide out in the garage? 🤔

[The Polymathematician @Doc_Polymath]

@TheShreddington Banana.

[The Polymathematician @Doc_Polymath]

@gregmushen Ah, the wrap-up smear.

[The Polymathematician @Doc_Polymath]

@BowTiedLoon Yup! I get work done when at the gym, in the car, shopping, at dinner, watching TV, at the doctor's office...

[The Polymathematician @Doc_Polymath]

@AntiDoc I remember when we were told 2 drinks/day was healthy living.

It's not, much as I wish it were true.

[The Polymathematician @Doc_Polymath]

@CoffeeBlackMD @OpenEvidence It's a tool. A circular saw is very handy, but it'll also unhand you if you don't know what your doing.

So it goes with AI.

[The Polymathematician @Doc_Polymath]

@ernunnos I found it a fun read. Too bad the promised movie never came.

[The Polymathematician @Doc_Polymath]

@BowTiedHRT @bot I like tacos.

[The Polymathematician @Doc_Polymath]

A ton of work today. Pre-production testing can be a pain in the ass.

But I'm at the gym.

Still working, tho. I'm managing my grok @bot on my phone and the testing is going well.
