@sethmoulton What a load of BULLSHIT.
You don’t need to use AI to understand it and legislate it. What is this weird shaming of an older man for not using Claude? Why does he need Claude? Why can’t a younger staffer of his use Claude for when it’s needed? Why does a politician need AI??
Today, we witness the suffering of so many broken families, whether because of drug use, violence, the criminal recruitment of a child, poverty, or a lack of opportunities that pushes people to the margins.
How about the British Library's online collection services going dark for years, possibly forever, because they wouldn't pay a 20 bitcoin ransom, thereby fucking me up personally. And no they won't let you walk in and see the book whose pdf has gone
There was a kind of mass memorial online last night, as people from across the political, ideological and socioeconomic spectrum all scrolled listening to Dolly Parton. 1/
Tributes pouring in for Dolly Parton, especially celebrating how her song "9 to 5" helped elevate the struggle of the American working class.
Tributes are nice, but the better way to honor her legacy would be to pass a living wage of at least $25.
Sadly Republicans and Democrats don't seem to have it in them.
I burst into tears when I heard that Dolly Parton had left us. Damn, we didn’t need that right now.
But then again, perhaps we did. Nothing makes the brilliance of a life more obvious than when someone dies. What a light, what a talent, what a burst of love, what a powerful woman, what a talented artist, and what a generous soul she was on every level. Her light lives on and will bless us all.
If you experience after you die everything you gave to others while you were here, then Dolly’s eternal bliss is certainly guaranteed. I don’t know how we can look at her life and think she was anything other than a very big soul.
May her passage be joyful, which I’m sure it is. May those who grieve her be comforted (her sister @StellaParton is a deeply appreciated warrior for justice. I often felt Dolly was probably encouraging her in the background).
Dear God,
Thank you for the experience
Of the soul we called Dolly Parton.
Thank you for her goodness,
thank you for her love,
and thank you for the joy she gave us.
May she be blessed,
And may those who loved her be comforted.
May we carry forward
The Light she shone.
Amen
Literacy. Equality. Health care. Dolly Parton leaves behind a legacy of true public service. She lifted millions through not only her art but her humanity. May her work continue to inspire generations to come. Thank you, Dolly, for making our nation better.
Dolly was openly pro-LGBTQ+, pro-Black Lives Matter, pro-women’s rights, pro-literacy, pro-science and proudly Christian while remaining firmly rooted in country music and although several tried, no one could ever intimidate her into backing down or being silent. 1 of 1.
I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.
My entire life I heard a Republican conservative movement lambast taxes as horrific things. Then comes along Trump and he institutes the highest tax increases in modern history through import taxes (tariffs) and they all cheer for him. Anyone see the irony? Am I the only one?
New - Billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller tells me "of course" he used AI to write op-ed on Bessent & bond market
"There's a reason I moved from an English major to being an economics major," he says, "I'm not embarrassed by it"
