The audacity of using the word "engineer" is galling enough.

he blasted it repeatedly, over the course of weeks, showing his advisors just how well he actually listens to them.

For the record, Canadians do not hate Americans en masse. but I admit there are a couple dozen individuals that are on the shitlist.

those folks are just over 100 days in to a new administration and you're expecting... something different? Something more? What you are seeing IS the difference.

When was the last time you saw town hall meetings being held 100 days in with protesters being dragged out? These folks are letting their displeasure known. This is what a movement looks like in its early stages. Don't even be insinuating that it's not enough, or that progress isn't being made.

I felt like this in January when this was first published and I still feel like it today. I'm not really sure what it will take for things to change but I get the feeling that powerful and wealthy people do not want things to change.

there a whole Black Mirror episode dedicated to the idea of an AI personal assistant. We may not be that far yet, but we're more than halfway there. We've come a long way from Clippy.

A bill.

So, anyone remember who has to sign a bill for it to become law? Anyone at school the day they taught that? Maybe there was a cute cartoon and a song on TV explaining this.

yeah it's "Nice country you got here... shame if some annexin' happened to it." Very Mobster, but without any of the panache associated with it.
