China is going to win this one

Win what exactly?

Whatever Trump claims we're winning?
Don't worry though, I'm sure China will also "get tired of all the winning" - I know we are. /s

Trump in 2016:

We’re gonna win so much, you may even get tired of winning. And you’ll say, "Please, please. It’s too much winning. We can’t take it anymore, Mr. President, it’s too much." And I’ll say, "No it isn’t. We have to keep winning. We have to win more!"

Also the same guy who keeps taking cognitive tests and claims to be acing them. Yes grandpa, you successfully identified the giraffe!

Jon Stewart remarks on The Daily Show ...

You're the only president to take a cognitive test. Let me ask you a question. Why do you think that is?

Why do you think that you're the only president that that happens to? That for some reason, every time you go to the doctor, which is a lot, the doctor's always like, "Hey, while you're here, if you could come over here and just explain very quickly, which one of these is the bear?"

Honestly, I think Trump thinks it's an intelligence test.

... an example of a customer telling ChatGPT they're looking for a pair of wireless headphones under $150. The chatbot would find a pair for sale under those parameters and buy it on behalf of the customer.

... who will be happy with just any wireless headphone under $150, sight unseen. Hope they like their new LED Light Up Unicorn Bluetooth Wireless / Wired Headphones from Target for $9.99.

For people who don't care about what they buy, there's VISA Chatbot, for everything else, there's MasterCard. :-)

What is this? The Soviet Union?

We'll have to wait to see if Kristen Welker "accidentally" falls out a window after asking Trump simple questions, like where's the evidence of election fraud in 2020 or the CA primary, and who's the leader of Iran, that he clearly couldn't answer, and asking about his repeated promises of no new wars, that he denied saying, before (almost literally) waddling off in a huff.

You know you can just turn off your gps? I got in the habit of doing it because it saves a lot of battery life. Same with Wi-Fi ....

Noting that your cell phone is otherwise tracked by the cell service itself via the towers it's connected to and near. As you pointed out, though, third parties obtaining that information usually requires a warrant - or perhaps a data-sharing (business) contract.

I heard that the Chinese Embassy on Monday accused the U.S. of "overstretching the concept of national security and making discriminatory lists to go after Chinese companies."

While this is slightly different, the Trump Administration likes to put things under the umbrella of "national security" to bypass normal rules and the Courts, who generally defer to an administration on things characterized as such. Obviously, it's mostly bullshit to help enable Trump to rule by whim/fiat. A good example is the claim that continuing the ballroom construction is necessary for "national security" -- noting that announcing that sort of thing is not normal or good.

...but Fox said that California is bad! How many of the Fortune 500 companies now in Texas actually started in California and then moved to Texas and still have a substantial California presence? The game is called talent, and talent doesn't want to move to Texas, especially female talent.

I imagine they (are told to) say that because Texas gives preference to corporations over its citizens while California doesn't, but that's just a guess. For example, Public School Rankings by State 2026 has CA at #8 and TX at #34 - surprisingly, the latter is lower than FL at #24. (New York is highest at #1, btw.)

She was 88 years old, likely suffering dementia, and living in a nursing home. Why should anything have been done? She was probably no code ... until her estate saw dollar signs.

Sounds like Trump, except 8 years older; I wonder how much his family will sue for should he die in office. /cynical
