Scripting News: Thursday, August 8, 2024

Someday soon twitter will be on this list.#
What's the best piece of advice you ever got?#
Tim Walz is Mr Rogers for adults. Tom Hanks should play him on SNL. #
It's wrong that posts from Timothy Snyder, Joe Trippi and NYT Pitchbot are only available on Twitter. I'd like to help their posts reach a wider audience. I posted a note about this on micro.blog with a place to comment. #
Another practical use for ChatGPT. A super techy service you use decides to require 2FA but reading their instructions you realize the docs were written by someone who hates people like you. Idea! Ask ChatGPT to translate. Out come nice instructions easy to read for people like me. Turns a dismal exercise in frustration to happiness at finding another huge stress- and time-saving application for ChatGPT.#
My version of the NYT#
My version of the NY Times has campaign news too, featuring the cutest kitty on the trail, headed to North Carolina today to support the cute and adorable running mates, Kamala and Tim!#
Kitten hits the trail with Kamala and Tim!#
A real-life photo of Air Force 2, in Detroit. #

Tuesday, June 11, 2024 Meanwhile the Repubs are getting ahead of themselves. Bannon said something that he should be arrested for. I'm sure it's horribly illegal to threaten people the way he did, and he did it in public. # I caught a bit of the last Wheel of Fortune . The three players were celebs: Vanna White, Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik. What was remarkable was how super-human Jennings is. He could solve the puzzle with almost no information. I have no clue how he saw the patterns. He has freakish intelligence. # Someone should tell the kids the Repubs will come for their weed. Just sayin. There probably are a number of voting age youngsters who have never lived in a time and place when cannabis was illegal. # By popular demand -- my blogroll now makes it more clear that the permalink to each item is the date of the item.

If you live to be 81, I bet the last thing you want to do, after the life he's had, is to be in this position. We should get behind him, and tell him so, let him know we don't want anyone else, and we
