I thought Germany were done until that equalizer. What a game. Such a shame that it’s happening in the quarterfinals.

I agree that wouldn’t be as problematic as resigning, but this is very different than LBJ. He announced he wasn’t running at the end of March. We’re 4 months from the election. LBJ was wildly unpopular because of Vietnam, and he had a pretty obvious successor in RFK.

One of my favorite things to do, paraphrased: Me (to "AI"): Recount the plot to [one of my books] and name five major characters and their roles. AI: [Generates bad plot, correctly names only the protagonist, all other characters and their roles made up] Me: That's wrong, you know. AI: I know.

I continue to be shocked that people are taking this idea seriously. It would be an absolute shitshow. I’m sure that Trump (who is only 4 years younger and has huge cognitive issues) is ecstatic that this is being discussed.

A lot of people don’t understand that Generative AIs will just make things up. They’re more like Mad Libs than what we used to think of when we said “AI.”

Found yet another site with AI-created summaries for my books; those summaries are both inaccurate and hopelessly bland. Please, folks, if you have kids of book report age, tell them from me that these summary sites are just complete bullshit. Don't trust them and don't copy their blandness.

George Lucas REALLY wanted to impress Spielberg, Coppola, et al, but the first time he showed them Star Wars they laughed him out of their little boys’ club. He then gave it to his ex-wife to edit, and she is the only reason it became a hit. She did not work on the prequels. Take it as you will.

This would be an absolute shitshow and I’m stunned that anyone is suggesting it. I’ll still take Biden over the alternative any day. Trump’s not much younger and completely unhinged. Plus, Biden surrounds himself with competent people.

Oh wow, they’re taking the players off of the pitch in the Germany vs Denmark match because of lightning. There was some very visible lightning and loud thunder before play was suspended.

Catastrophic. The fact that most watchers and of course most of us who work on regulation knew this was coming doesn’t soften the blow a bit. The modern administrative state is critical for health & social policy. Undermining it promises to worsen overall health and expand health inequalities.

The Euros game between Czechia and Turkiye was the most bizarre game of soccer that I’ve ever seen. There were 13 yellow cards during the match and a red. A goal was incorrectly disallowed. Absolutely shambolic refereeing but a game you couldn’t look away from.

It continues to shock me that some people learned nothing from the Iraq War and the rest of US government’s response to 9/11. Meaningful peace is the path to security. Endless wars create endless enemies. It seems so obvious, but then again, it seemed obvious to me back then too. 2/2
