The government is a bunch of overpaid bureaucrats living off your tax money, shuffling papers, and pushing rules that don’t make your life any better. They are not your friend. Keep them as far away from you and the people you love as possible.

We toured Nasa this past weekend and they canceled the tram tour because of the weather. The weather:

My jaw dropped when my niece told me about her middle school experience. It’s a circadian nightmare. The school is totally indoors. They have one 15 minute break that has to be taken indoors and then they have a 30 minute lunch. The first 15 minutes of lunch has to be taken

My grandma asked me if AI can “pray.” I said no. She asked the AI directly, and it generated a beautiful blessing. Now she’s convinced it’s holy. I’m just trying to unplug the router.
