After a very long and stupid conversation with a trumpite, I came up with what passes for humor in desperate times:

I just read an article in #theconversationus about Intellectual Humility, and ended up scratching my head a bit. The newsletter had the title "Changing your mind with new info isn't flip-flopping" which is obvious, but the way the right uses the term "flip-flopping" has nothing to do with information. It has to do with religious beliefs, which have no factual basis anyway.

There is no intellectual humility available to the fright wing because there is no intellectual ANYTHING there. In some ways it bothers me to see the fright wing's abused terms in the same context as anything intellectual.

I doubt anybody is surprised that the lunatic Paxton is being impeached. The surprise is that the party of lunacy and lawlessness is the one doing it. Makes you wonder what he really did - we know that the GQP has no use for laws, so what is Paxton REALLY guilty of? Certainly nobody has accused him of any moral behavior...

Headline in my copy of yesterday's New York Times:

"Scott Will Test Black Progress Within G. O. P."

I hope like hell the person who wrote that headline wasn't serious. Let's face it, "the base" - the Nazis and Proud Boys as prime examples - are not about to let a black man fly the banner they march under. The White Supremacist Christian Nationalist GQP is no way going to back the guy.

The headline made me laugh, though. I dunno, maybe fruitcakes write NYTimes headlines too.

These are not good times. First, Musk destroys twitter, now CNN is controlled by the fright wing,... What next? MSNBC hiring Tucker?

First it came out that the Micro$haft Edge web browser "leaked" information to Bing, their so-called search engine, now jacked up with so-called AI. Now they are going to force corporate users over to their Edge browser in spite of settings to the contrary, thereby "leaking" whatever they want into their for-profit data banks. I think that is called invasion of privacy, but at least the customers are big enough an d knowledgeable enough to fight back. What they do to the rest of us little people, nobody cares about.

Is anyone else tired of the stupid hype around AI? Even if it might be useful, the tech cargo-cults that worship at the altars of Google and Micro$haft have run me out of patience.
