@smerconish The AI Paradox- It makes us more stupid therefore we rely on it more.
The problem is it lies, hallucinates, gets psychosis and is self preservative.
It’s replacing our brains as well as our jobs.

@WillieGeist It’s always fun to sit in Ridgewood and listen to you discuss your high school days.
Go Maroons!

@smerconish Primaries are conducted by the parties for the parties.
Join a party, start a party or stand aside.

[David Italiaander @ItaliaanderD]

@smerconish Yes, but that is contingent on humanity surviving the warming of our planet which seems doubtful as we have already achieved +1.5C.

@JoeNBC @jheil
Iran has nothing to worry about.

@PabloTorre Obviously his parents didn’t teach him how to share or play well with others so he doesn’t understand that it is OUR country not his. Maybe if he got out of the basement once in a while.

@JoeNBC
I’m 75. I have had a digital and PSA every year for as long as I remember.
Not bragging. Just good doctoring.

@smerconish I’d rather hold to political account those who encouraged the run for a second term or didn’t vociferously oppose it. Therein lies the political malpractice.

@Timodc We can afford to leave. But we wouldn’t think of it. We fight for the land we love even as it goes astray. The only answer to authoritarianism and fascism is to stand up and speak out despite the risks.

@smerconish As a Jew it’s really not my table, but given the thought that the Cardinals’ votes are inspired from above, wouldn’t that imply that the Holy Spirit hates Trump?

[David Italiaander @ItaliaanderD]

“Public concern”? No.
But his friends and family seem pretty freaked out.

@morningmika
Movies are not documentaries unless they tell you so.
Sci-fi and fantasy in particular require one thing to enjoy them, suspension of disbelief.
Try it.

@smerconish
When you ask 90/10 poll questions please don’t pretend to be surprised by the results.

[David Italiaander @ItaliaanderD]

@PabloTorre @Morning_Joe Watching now. (I always watch)
You are a great addition to the conversation!

[David Italiaander @ItaliaanderD]

@MSNBC @JoeNBC @morningmika
More @PabloTorre is a joyous thing.
I know little about sports but he makes it fun and I have learned a lot.
But I know lots about politics and policy and his analysis is smart and engaging.
More is better.

@JoeNBC Howard Lutnick is happy because Trump’s destruction is driving the bond market and enriching his sons who are running Cantor Fitzgerald in his stead.

[David Italiaander @ItaliaanderD]

@ChristineGravi1 @smerconish So you have never studied history or economics have you?
Sadly, you are about to find out the cost of your ignorance.

[David Italiaander @ItaliaanderD]

@smerconish This is the stupidest poll question you have ever asked.
You can’t find an actual economist who thinks this can work.
We know exactly what will happen with this trade war because we did it before.
The result can only be the end of American economic leadership.
