I've lived in this building for real for less than a week.
I got in the lift, and one of the staff got in before me. He pushed the button for the floor he was going, then saw me and nodded and promptly pushed the button for my floor.
Maybe the newest mover is easy to remember, but I'm still impressed.
@freeformz Nah, he's already running a cult, his popularity can't change much, for better or for worse. It's better justice follows its course than worry about his popularity.
@freeformz I hear you, but these lawsuits weren’t meant to stop him from running for president. They have their own purpose and trying to tie them to the elections that are coincidentally going at the same time is bound to generate disappointment.
A journalist almost takes responsibility for the misinformed public: "Many commentators...blame the media for the public’s economic illiteracy." But then she turns the blame on us: "If the media has a bad-news bias, that’s because our audiences have a bad-news bias, too." Journalists are incapable of meaningful self-reflection, incapable of taking responsibility.

@jeffjarvis In a way, they aren't wrong, journalists don't report in a vacuum, their newspaper needs to be purchased for them to keep their job and so they will naturally skew towards news that do sell. This trend already existed with print media, and it only accelerated with online media where revenue is lower and journalists' salary makes up a bigger expenditure post.
There is another recent trend of media concentration where editorial policies across many different titles owned by the same entity are skewed the same way (towards right-wing policies, invariably) but journalists from these outlets obviously can't report on it.
African-American wants court to grant him Kenyan citizenship by ancestry.
There is a Kiswahili proverb that says “Mtoto akililia wembe mpe. ” when a child cry for razor give him/her. If he wants Kenyan citizenship give him, nothing special being Kenyan citizen, infact everybody should be eligible to become Kenyan citizens irregardless of origin.
So, this guy takes out his new AI phone from Samsung and takes a photo of the table we're sitting at. Then he does some magic stuff with his AI and shows me the picture.
"Look," he says to me. "There are three glasses on the table and in the picture there are five. Isn't AI amazing!" And he laughed.
And all I could think was that this is happening in millions of places every minute of the day. All this energy. All this water. All these materials.
@Siestacorta Leur taux d’élucidation est quand même très fictionnel, et leur comportement à l’égard des minorités est exemplaires, mais iels ne sont certes pas présenté•e•s comme dernier/seul rampart contre la barbarie et le chaos.
