Why would she ask that? She works for Bari Weiss and David Ellison. 60 minutes actually cut Trump having tantrum from the interview.

Today I learned the metric equivalent of horsepower is, horsepower. You’d think someone would have come up with a better name.

To make more electricity, they should try using some of the hot air that constantly comes out of Nadella’s mouth.

Studios shouldn’t be allowed to own tv channels. (Or cable/internet providers).

Do elder statesmen like Obama bother mentoring or training their “replacements”? Seems like we would have more Obama’s in the pipeline if that was the case.

I doubt it really has much to do with AI. The economy is in the toilet right now due to tariffs and severe mismanagement. AI is being used as a scapegoat for layoffs and unemployment.

Gotta have a government-recognized binding contract so your spouse can make legal decisions for you. Call it whatever you want (marriage cert, domestic partner) but it has to be the same for all people under the law.

This is part of what the fight for marriage equality was all about. Spouses were unable to see their partners in the hospital, or get custody of children, or inherit, etc. etc. Some people tried to draw up legal agreements, but they ran into obstacles with other family members taking them to court. Remember, “Separate, but equal is inherently unequal.”

Up next:

  • Judges no longer required to marry interracial couples.
  • Judges no longer required to marry women pregnant out of wedlock.
  • Judges no longer required to marry Muslims, Jews, or athiests.
  • Judges no longer required to marry divorced persons.

Take your pick. This is what happens when government steps outside of contract law, and into endorsement of religious beliefs.

The website you linked to says that it’s not a class action suit, but a “mass arbitration” which I’ve never heard of. It also claims that Google has a “no class action” clause in its warranty/user agreement. I don’t see how that’s legal, but whatever. I also wonder if that clause was there at the time of purchase for gen 1 and gen 2 thermostats.

While an interesting idea, that project wants what amounts to the cost of a new thermostat in exchange for a kickstarter project. Might as well just buy a new thermostat.

Please find another news source besides CBS News.

Surprisingly, these still work as dumb thermostats after the cutoff date.

 

I know that some people eat celery with hummus. Or put pimento cheese or peanut butter on it. Are there any other foods that you think go well with celery? I’ve got some celery in my fridge that I’m trying to eat up.

 

Just finished reading an article about how raw alfalfa sprouts easily spread e-coli, but the problem could be solved by irradiation. So why don’t we?

After all, the US is the land of GMO, pesticides, washed eggs, chlorinated chicken, and pasteurized dairy. How could irradiated produce be any worse?

 

Why is Cornyn running these ridiculous border security ads on YouTube? Midterm elections aren’t until November 2026.

 

Interesting article about all the crappy energy legislation being pushed and passed in Texas.

 

Between AI, voice cloning, and modern CGI I’m surprised we haven’t gotten a real computer-generated talk show host.

 

I keep hearing I should get a flu shot to help prevent bird flu — but I thought flu shots only prevented illness from the particular strains the shot was designed for. Does getting a traditional flu shot do anything to prevent bird flu transmission?
