@DrMac85@JoJoFromJerz These are the kinds of people the next presidential candidates will need to persuade. The facts should be presented clearly and simply, even though there is also a complex plan.
@wiredworm@KEdge23 That's a gigantic understatement. The ways in which the tories have screwed over this country will reverberate for decades to come, and hamper the choices and options of several generations.
Yet again, the alarm at @Morrisons went off. This time it was at 06:30. Perhaps they could make sure it goes off at the same time each day, to save me from having to set my own alarm.
Well done, @Morrisons - the alarm only woke the neighbourhood at your store in Ayr for three minutes this time, unfortunately it was at at eleven o'clock at night, however.
This is what the game Star Trek: The Next Generation looks like running on the #Commodore#C64, according to AI (Microsoft Bing).
Well... I'm not a big fan of AI generators but I must admit that the images it generates cause me attacks of laughter 🤣
Robert De Niro’s full statement on Trump. Please read and let me know your thoughts:
I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men. I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty. Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly.
I see an evil one.
Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped.
Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them.
We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego. We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership. We tried to warn the world in 2016.
The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination. Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world. We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags.
The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior. That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse.
Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously.
So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America:
This is our last chance.
Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator.
And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided.
So what do we do about it? I know I’m preaching to the choir here. What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls. We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice. Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them.
Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect. Let’s not talk about “democracy.” “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. Let’s talk about right and wrong. Let’s talk about humanity. Let’s talk about kindness. Security for our world. Safety for our families. Decency. Let’s welcome them back. We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.”

a16z just released a massive open-source companion AI repo on GitHub today🤯
🔮My prediction: this will be the MOST popular repo in a month.
Chatbot companions are taking off. They have a clear product-market fit. I'll be tinkering with this repo to extend my own agents!
A twitter user mentioned the mobile app for their “smart” wifi connected power plug was requesting their location.
The app has more then 1 million downloads.
Curious, I ordered the ‘Meross’ branded device and it’s just arrived.
What will we find? Let’s dig in ..🧵
