@AlexGDimakis A student using GPT is like a weightlifter using a forklift. It can get the task done but you won't improve.

Bob Fosse in Little Prince movie, 1974 had a massive influence on Michael Jackson.

Telling people to vote for Karin Bass instead of Spencer Pratt in order the hedge out Nythia Raman is either extremely naive, or cynical.
Bass is a very talented politician who has worked her way up in through the Democrat machine. Remember how far ahead Rick Caruso was last time, and how many ballots her campaign managed to bring in? Bass is still supported by Big Labor, including the AFL-CIO, Party big wigs, and the LA Chamber of Commerce.
Nithya is the shinny new DSA object, reflecting the slit between the Institutional Left and the open Socialists/Marxists to their Left.
The goal is to lock Spencer Pratt out of the top two. Angelenos, across parties, who just want their city back, need to vote hard for Spencer Pratt, bringing in every vote they can for him, because he’s the only candidate who will be relying on actual voter turnout instead of the Progressive Machine.

The surreal sketch comedy TV series ‘The Dana Carvey Show’ starring Dana Carvey, Steve Carell, and Stephen Colbert premiered on ABC on this day thirty years ago 📺 🎭 🤣

TRIVIA: A running gag on ‘The Dana Carvey Show’ was that the title of the show would change based on the presenting sponsor of that week’s episode. The episode titles included ‘The Taco Bell Dana Carvey Show’, ‘The Mug Root Beer Dana Carvey Show’, ‘The Mountain Dew Dana Carvey Show’, ‘The Diet Mug Root Beer Dana Carvey Show’, ‘The Pepsi Stuff Dana Carvey Show’, and ‘The Szechuan Dynasty Dana Carvey Show’.

@davidmarcus With so much praise I turned FSD on my Model X and it is not ready for primetime. Driving in LA it needed takeover to avoid two horrible crashes, twice chose the wrong lane and missed turns, ran one red light, and tapped out on a garage ramp. Broke my heart.

@geoffschwartz Met an NFL Hall of famer over Super Bowl weekend and I asked him what's best for an 8th grader who wants to try out for HS football in high school. He said just focus on conditioning. Get your body prepared for anything and take it from there.

@ezcontra Everyone is raving about their vibe coding but outside of LLMs and AI models have you noticed software getting any better?

@KlonnyPin_Gosch Household devices don't need screens or blinking lights and their presence are why everything feels worse nowadays.

@DrewfromJersey Jets have two firsts to trade up with. I'd rather see them stack wins to have a foundation to build on.

a great tip if you’re packing for a trip is to ignore all the clothes you feel comfortable in and wear on a regular basis and instead bring a long velvet skirt you’ve never worn before that’s slightly too small and doesn’t go with any of your shirts or shoes

@MegEBrock I was kid in the '80s and I went to a whole bunch of weddings I don't know what '80s you're talking about.

@ccmembersonly iPads sever a child's imagination. Brightly colored premade art, vulgar sound effects, and nothing for developing fine motor control or the ability to create their own narratives.

@dvassallo iPads are destructive for young children and there are a billion other ways to keep them happy at the table.

@MostlyMonkey During the bubble everybody was a paper zillionaire. Then it burst and we all went back to being the schlubs we were before the bubble. Except Mark Cuban. He sold at the top.

@elonmusk Why is that car in reverse and why are the stoplights red and green at the same time and why are there no men in the city and why does that one woman going against the flow walk directly into someone and make her disappear

@youwouldntpost Nice piece, well observed, I loved that little pillow bit too.
