They called Mohammad Khatami a reformist, too. In 8 years he didn't get to reform much of anything.

One field I'm hoping for AI innovation: contracts. How valuable would it be to be able to ask questions about a contract, and get analysis and answers immediately?

The Kansas Supreme Court reaffirmed abortion protections in the state’s Constitution on Friday. It struck down Republican-backed laws that banned a common second-trimester abortion procedure and that created new licensing requirements for abortion clinics.

One guy is old. The other guy is an old lying pedophile philandering racist rapist, convicted of 34 felonies, liable for $464 million of business fraud, who ripped off thousands of people, stole top secret US military documents, and tried to violently overthrow the government.

The #Braves just seem lost. So many times this year they have had men on 1st and 2nd, no outs, and have failed to score. Yesterday, they get back to back homers, then seemingly become deflated when the #Giants get their own back to back HRs. Aaron Bummer has been a disaster in middle relief. #MLB ⚾

Hunter Biden has sued Fox News and its parent company over a 2022 miniseries that purported to show a “mock trial” of the president’s son, claiming that the conservative network made money from publishing his intimate images on the show.

So, that actually turned out pretty cool. They paired the #Braves play-by-play guy Brandon Gaudin with the #Pirates color analyst Matt Capps. They worked great together and it was interesting to get the opposing team perspective in-game. #MLB ⚾ #Roku

I am a lifetime oatmeal lover. Love Bob's Red Mill Steel Cut Oats, but their Organic Quick version is not good at all. Costco also now has their own reg. oatmeal. It's ok, but will go mushy in a second if overcooked. I don't like OneDegree brand. Have you found any good non-Quaker ones?

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.

You have the full run of the original 1960s X-Men? I have a few from the first hundred, then a run of probably 40 or so from 90s-130s. I think my earliest issue is #13.

The #Braves played the #WhiteSox today in a one-game makeup from March, when they were snowed/rained out. Chicago played the #Dodgers last night, and tomorrow host the #Rockies. In a very unusual situation, all three visiting teams were staying together at the same hotel. #MLB

I have said all along that I think Biden will win in November; I know he is the only choice to preserve this disgrace of a democracy. And still, this is terrible. It is shameful. That this is the best we have on both sides? The moderators refuse to moderate. It’s fucking ridiculous.

I think Trump is going to pick Speaker Johnson as VP. He's a tie to the Evangelicals, he's bland, he's obsequious, he's not going to take the spotlight. He's White. He's male. He has no qualms about selling out America.

I predict that if Trump does show up he will try to be as formal and serious and sober as possible. I don't even think he'll be combative. He's desperate to convey any gravitas at all.
