If you want to understand the failure of U.S. journalism, especially the complete inadequacy of political interviews in this country, in a single short clip, here it is:

RADDATZ: What the heck did #Trump mean in saying his supporters won't have to vote again in four years?

CHRIS SUNUNU: Haha. I think that was a classic Trumpism, if you will.

RADDATZ: Ok. Let's turn to President Biden and Kamala Harris.

Harris for President statement on Trump's fascistic promise to end Democracy.

AI can never make art. And I don’t mean this in a dismissive way, it’s simply true by definition.

Art is not a painting or a sculpture or a video or a poem or whatever. That’s just a medium. Art is an attempt by one human to transmit meaning to another human. We value art because it’s a connection between us and another person. Really great art manages to make this connection with many people across chasms of time and space and experience.

AI can sometimes make pretty or interesting things. But it doesn’t make art any more than a pencil does. It can’t, because AI doesn’t have that drive to connect and share meaning.

Biden according to Trump:

An old, senile, sleepy man who cannot put 2 sentences together.

Also Biden according to Trump:

A criminal mastermind who took a time machine back to 2006 and convinced Stormy Daniels to sleep with Trump, and then traveled to 2016 to conspire with Michael Cohen to cover up the affair in an illegal way, using checks which Trump was tricked into signing, and then returned to 2024 to secretly control the trial against Trump… while running an entire country.

Pick a lane.

One of the richest men in the 1920s was Andrew Mellon — an early prophet of “trickle-down” economics.

His grandson, Timothy Mellon, is bankrolling Trump's reelection.

Timothy uses his platform to rage against social programs.

This is how dynastic wealth works.

Wealth tax now.
