"Surprise"? Why? Failed assassination attempts don't normally boost a presidential campaign - esp when the shooter is 1 of your own supporters. Here's something all the many Biden doomers should consider. TIPP, the most accurate pollster in 2020, has had Biden a few percent ahead or tied all year.

"Following the failed assassination attempt on Saturday, former President Donald Trump did not see a polling boost, in the first presidential survey taken since the event....In fact, Trump's lead has narrowed slightly since an earlier poll taken July 12-14" lol. lmao www.rawstory.com/trump-pollin...

This is a very good reason to vote for Dems in the fall. Biden needs both chambers to make this happen. Do you want rent control? I sure do!

Something you may have missed yesterday - The Biden Administration is going to unveil a nationwide rent control proposal. It's going to be challenging to implement, and will require control of both chambers, but they're working on it. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

General reminder: make sure to disable Copilot via Local Group Policy on your Windows devices. Note that the Local Group Policy Editor MMC snap-in (gpedit.msc) is only available on Windows 11 Pro so for Windows 11 Home you'll have to create the registry key manually.

Adobe is getting so much flack for their AI features that in sponsored social media posts they’ve stopped using the term ‘AI’ & now call it ‘text to vector art’ 🙄 Don’t let them dodge pushback because of this rebrand attempt & imo they can still fuck ‘emselves for stealing work from their customers

For a while now I have had this icky feeling that a lot of our use of AI is us just using it to find examples to show each other how bad AI is and TBH I think we should probably all stop doing that cause excessive energy consumption doesn't differentiate between real use and joke use. 😬

i cannot stress how relieving it is to see the president of a major creative tech company like nintendo voice concerns about generative ai and say they’re not interested www.tweaktown.com/news/99109/n...

Nintendo won't use generative AI in its first-party gameswww.tweaktown.com Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa has revealed that the company currently has no plans to use generative AI in its games due to IP rights concerns.

Tip for anyone doing this: the price of forever stamps is about to go up to 73 cents, but if you go to a post office, you can get less expensive stamps for post cards. From what I'm seeing, they're 53 cents, so this will save you $20 per 100 post cards.

No shame in feeling scared, overwhelmed and not knowing what to do. To me feeling one's feelings doesn't preclude taking action. These are confusing times. Give yourself some grace.
