Not only is the president sharing AI manipulated videos, but the videos are truly disgusting, racist, and grotesque.

I am truly embarrassed to be an American right now.

[Bill Clinton @BillClinton]

Thirty years ago today, I signed the federal Assault Weapons Ban into law. During the decade it was in effect, Americans were far less likely to die in a mass shooting. Murder rates reached their lowest point in a generation. And nobody lost their rights to hunting, sport shooting, or self-defense. We know we will save lives if we do it again—so let’s find the courage and conviction to make it happen. Our children and grandchildren’s futures depend on it.

Here’s the real reason Trump wants us to spend the week chasing rumors about people eating cats.

[Admiral James Stavridis, USN, Ret. @stavridisj]

This is no way for a government official or political candidate to conduct themselves on the sacred ground of Section 60 at Arlington. The final resting place of so many heroic Americans -- including some who died under my command -- is not a political prop.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: CNN just released their fact check of Donald Trump throughout the debate. It turns out Donald Trump lied on just about every answer. Retweet so all Americans see this vital fact check on Trump’s BS.

WE HAVE TO KNOCK THIS OFF!!! We’re killing jobs, killing an economy, killing prosperity, killing the cities that we live in. This is not sustainable. We have to find a new way to use our talents and skills for a legitimate hustle. It’s time to create a new business plan.

[Daniel Pink @DanielPink]

"The courage to start.
The discipline to focus.
The confidence to figure it out.
The patience to know progress is not always visible.
The persistence to keep going, even on the bad days.

That's the formula."

I’ve probably tripped on things much smaller than a sandbag at least 20 times in my life, and I’m just 41.

Biden tripped on a sandbag one time and he’s 80.

The Secret Service is most responsible for this. They should have made sure there wasn’t anything in his way.

I would have likely tripped, you would have likely tripped and most people would have likely tripped in this situation too.

Let’s just be glad that Biden is OK and let’s move on.

It's my birthday today. When I woke up, I joked to myself that I can now add the SHIZO to the list of places where I've celebrated it over the years. And then, like many other people who reach a certain age (I've turned 47 today, wow), I though about my I thought about my accomplishments over the past year and my plans for the next.

I haven't accomplished much, and this was best summed up the other day by the psychologist at our penal colony. The procedure requires that before you are sent to the SHIZO, you must be examined by a medical officer (to check whether you will bear it) and a psychologist (to make sure you don't hang yourself). Well, after our meeting the psychologist said: "This is the 16th time we've put you in the SHIZO, but you keep cracking jokes, and your mood is much better than that of the committee members." That's actually true, but on the morning of your birthday you have to be honest with yourself, so I ask myself the question: am I really in a good mood, or do force myself to feel that way?

My answer is: I really am. Let's face it, of course I wish I didn't have to wake up in this hellhole and instead have breakfast with my family, receive kisses on the cheek from my children, unwrap presents, and say: "Wow, this is exactly what I dreamed of!" But life works in such a way that social progress and a better future can only be achieved if a certain number of people are willing to pay the price for their right to have beliefs. The more such people there are, the less everyone has to pay. And surely the day will come when speaking the truth and advocating for justice will become something commonplace and not at all dangerous in Russia.

But until that day comes, I do not see my situation as a heavy burden or a yoke, but rather as a job that needs to be done. Every job has its unpleasant parts, right? So I'm going through the unpleasant part of my favorite job right now.

My plan for the previous year was not to grow brutal and bitter and lose my laid-back demeanor - that would mean the beginning of my defeat. And all my success in this was only possible because of your support.

As always, on my birthday, I want to thank all the people I've met in my life. The good ones for having helped and still helping me. The bad ones for the fact that my experience with them has taught me something. Thanks to my family for always being there for me!

But the biggest thank you and biggest salute I want to give today goes to all political prisoners in Russia, Belarus and other countries. Most of them are have it much harder than me. I think about them all the time. Their resilience inspires me every day.

I was very concerned about what social media was doing to democracy. Then I talked with @ericschmidt and learned more about AI. Together, we wrote an essay about how AI is going to make social media MUCH more toxic to democracy, and to children:

President Biden's speech was about a lot of different things, but ultimately it was about hope. Napoleon said “a leader is a dealer in hope.” Not in fear, not in anger, but in hope. Biden's speech was a beacon of light, while Putin's speech was a dark pit of lies.

Simplest and best tribute to exemplify the Barbara Walters legacy :

On her final show on The View, they just brought one female journalist after another to honour her. All ages, races, from NBC to FOX, to say thank you. She’s completely overwhelmed and touched.
