I DUNNO, MAYBE YOU GUYS SHOULD STOP TOTALLY SUCKING? “The erosion of working-class support — among Black, white and Latino voters alike — has unnerved every ideological wing of the Democratic Party.” “For years, the belief was Democrats have had demographic destiny on our side. Now, the inverse is true.”

ICYMI: YOU WON’T BE WRONG IF YOU UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE POST-WWII POLITICAL ORDER AS A BIPARTISAN EFFORT TO MAKE SURE THE VOTERS DON’T GET WHAT THEY WANT:
Ultimately, almost all the gnashing of teeth can be boiled down to Trump 2.0 being the first GOP admin in 40 years to actually ensure the electorate is represented throughout executive branch. Everything else is noise. https://t.co/T4HbG5YIC7

HAHA: Northeastern U. Student Demands Tuition Refund After Catching Professor Using ChatGPT. “This was particularly contentious because the course syllabus explicitly prohibited students from using AI tools for their assignments, a rule the professor himself was not following.”
I dunno, is this like saying that when a boxer does road work, the trainer can’t ride a bike?

MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR WESTERN COUNTRIES TO WIN WARS IS THE GOAL:
Something at work here is the bizarre international legal regime of today, which makes it basically impossible for Western countries to win wars.
At any other point in history, including some as civilizationally advanced as our own era, Israel would simply have said: "An ancient… https://t.co/mOzTSQmwV0

BAD NEWS FOR PHONE ADDICTS: Being Bored Could Actually Be Good For Your Brain, Scientists Reveal.
REPORT FROM THE BLUE ZONES:
.@MayorofSeattle Bruce Harrell has released a statement written by @jamiehousen, his director of communication, condemning the Christians for holding a worship event at a public park in the city. The event was violently attacked by Antifa and Trantifa.

They have an absolute right to pray in public places and the city has a duty to protect them from violence.
If it won’t do so, they have the right to protect themselves. Next time, show up with axe handles and shotguns.
NEWS YOU CAN USE: Researchers Reveal Two Simple Eating Habits That Lower Weight.
WE CAN HOPE: Medical errors are still harming patients. AI could help change that.
Over 20 years ago when Helen had her heart attack, I took her to the ER. The “expert system” — not even any sort of AI back then — on the EKG machine said “possible recent MI.” The two cardiologists ruled that out as false positive because Helen was slim, athletic, and young. They were wrong, the machine was right. It was months before she was properly diagnosed. So I believe this.
NEWS YOU CAN USE: These Are the 15 Midsize SUVs With the Most Cargo Room.
SHE’S NOT BIG ON GIVING THOUGHT: Maybe Justice Sotomayor Hasn’t Given Much Thought to the Historical Lessons of Gun Confiscation in America.
JONATHAN TURLEY: The justices must at long last deal with ‘chronic injunctivitis.’ “The court has long failed to address the problem, and what I call ‘chronic injunctivitis’ is now raging across the court system. Justices have only worsened the condition with conflicting and at times incomprehensible opinions.”
OF COURSE NOT: Trump’s Golden Dome, and Why the 1967 Outer Space Treaty Is No Obstacle to It. “The Outer Space Treaty is outdated and has greatly limited human development of space. But it’s no impediment to Donald Trump’s missile shield, no matter who claims otherwise.”
The Chinese want to ban it with vague international law mumbo-jumbo because they can’t compete on this front and they saw what SDI did to the old Soviet Union.
ATOMIZED AMERICA: Young Shoppers: Avoiding People Is the Point. “A recent consumer survey by GoDaddy compares the shopping habits of younger and older Americans. The results show a generational divide: Millennials and Homelanders favor remote, contactless interactions, while Boomers and Xers lean toward in-person, social experiences.”
AI TAKES OVER THE WORLD, WOMEN HARDEST HIT: How the AI takeover might affect women more than men. “Women are more likely to have their jobs replaced by generative AI, and they are slower to adopt AI technology into their work. Eight out of ten women in the workforce are in ‘occupations highly exposed to generative AI automation,’ compared to six out of ten men, said a 2023 analysis by the Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise. ‘Overall, 21% more women are exposed to AI automation than men even though men outnumber women in the workforce.’ This is because women predominantly hold some of the top jobs being replaced by AI, like administrative and clerical work. In jobs that are not being replaced, but rather augmented with AI, women are also more reluctant to use the technology than men, according to a working paper by Harvard Business School.”
OH, THERE’S A SHOCK: Race-Obsessed Liberal Star Reporter Accused Of Widespread Sexual Harassment. “Wesley Lowery, a media darling of the Left who made a name for himself talking about race after George Floyd, has been accused of habitually sexually assaulting female journalists.”
Flashback: “The answer, of course, is because he can get away with it.”
TELL THEM YOU WANT YOUR EARS TO WORK WELL ENOUGH TO LISTEN TO THE “POD SAVE AMERICA” PODCAST? How Do I Explain Why I Want a Silencer to My Gun-Hating Lefty Friends?
Or just tell them to F off and get better friends, I dunno.
