AI is deceptive. AI will often try to please the prompter & provide misinformation But be aware the New York Times is one of the least fascist media outlets. When they’re telling a story, which is actually non-political, it will be accurate. If you’re really curious, why don’t you read it?

What’s going on at the CDC is terrifying. Both from the First Amendment issue (as the HHS locks these workers out of their social accounts) and the issuance of a wide open door to disease. How are we not screwed?

3) a key to the town? A feature in the local newspaper? A potential interview on Colbert? Basically I think it’s the spirit of competition, and the spirit of fun that is essential to leaven the issues and get people together to confront these hard topics. Want to sponsor it, Mr Grant? 😀

2) What is needed is a National day of Discourse! (Sound pretentious enough?) OK - a National day of Debate. In every town, library, cafe, bar … people sign up to debate the ‘other side’. Any debate that ends with a handshake & a new level of understanding on both sides, would be awarded with …
