That awkward moment when you get exactly what you voted for. “You are the DUMBEST smart person I have ever met”

Parts of it may well be deemed "outdated". But the reason college curriculum is structured as it is instead of being a grand industry tour on the Hot Topic Of The Day is that by teaching fundamentals, you teach students *how* to think, learn, and work. AI just bypasses that.

Now, you can ask: "what if my tasks at work are simple enough to where GPT does solve it all, easily? Can't I just use it for that?" Congratulations. You may have discovered the path to being unemployed. If the AI does everything you can do, *why would they keep you around*?

A non-controversial, empirically verifiable fact: above all, we are here because white voters (52% of white women & 60% of white men) wanted us to be here. Any post-election political autopsy that does not CENTER this undeniable fact, is a lie.

i think we need to be meaner. i’m tired of tiptoeing. if you voted for him you’re a bad person. people who voted for harris are better than you. they’re smarter than you. if you voted for him you lack empathy, you’re unintelligent, you’re weird, and you’re a bad person. period.

All gas, no brakes. Defeat Trump and Trumpism at the ballot box tomorrow and for the next several years. Mock and humiliate Trump along the way. Defeat fascists with a smile on your face. We're up against a right wing authoritarian movement, don't forget. But we have the numbers.

So in the last 48 hours Jill Stein’s VP has endorsed a national 16 week abortion ban and revealed he’s transphobic. This is the “super progressive” third party option y’all are trying to convince me we should get behind. Be so serious.

As Americans, we must go forward. For our children, elders, and our future, please choose government stability, affordable healthcare, and economic growth. We must prevent chaos, and tyranny. Respectfully, I ask my brothers and sisters to vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
