With the rise of personal AI assistants, the internet isn't just for humans anymore.
But in recent months, an alternative to this bespoke tool approach has finally started to seem viable. The major AI companies have managed to train much more successful computer-use agents than were previously available.
GPT-6 Astra, which OpenAI released last September, achieved a 73% success rate on OSWorld 2.0, a benchmark that tests computer-use agents on their ability to complete complex, multistep tasks using software such as Slack and Salesforce.
Foreign-born workers account for all net labor force participation and employment gains since July. Manufacturing adds 101,000 jobs since December 2025, leaving net gain of 8,000 under Trump. Median and average unemployment spells are longest in about a decade excluding the pandemic. Information and finance remain weakest in AI-exposed industries.
The Federal Aviation Administration still uses computers that require floppy disks. But those are finally on the way out within the next few years. Yes, it's still 2026, and yes, you read that right: The FAA -- the agency responsible for overseeing aviation safety in the US -- is finally getting rid of four systems dating back to the 1980s that remain in use at more than 400 facilities around the country, the agency announced on Thursday.
The attorney general defended the surveillance technology and dismissed privacy concerns as "misinformation."
Emboldened by the scale of Democratic victories in the midterms, a small group of liberals is trying to blow up a carefully negotiated bipartisan agreement that would make it easier to build in America. Failure to pass this compromise during the lame-duck session would send a loud message that the incoming Democratic majorities aren't as serious about affordability as candidates said they were on the stump. And a deal this good for the economy is unlikely to materialize in the next Congress, which is why unions for the building trades and electricians are fighting to get it done.
White Christian Republicans (MAGAts) didn't seem to mind when D/FBI Kashyap Pramod Vinod "Vindaloo Chicken" Patel took his oath of office on the Indaghadadavida, but they will certainly have tantrums when Dr. Abdul-El-Sayed (D-MI) takes his oath of office on the Quran this coming Jan 2027. No doubt ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu will suffer a conniption fit as well, whether he is still in power or not. When the pastoral James Talarico (D-TX) takes his oath of office on the Bible at the same time, phony Christians will assail this young man; but he will forgive them for their blasphemies. James Talarico's favorite musical might just be Godspell.
This is one mad panda"FUNNY"
They've only gone 0-8 twice: 2000 and 1975.
This was the biggest week in American politics in a hundred years, and I'm not being cute about it.

NYC Executive Order No. 13
Van Der Merwe told ICE officers he had a work permit and a pending asylum application. "According to Van Der Merwe, the officers said they did not care, placed him in handcuffs and shackles, and transported him to immigration detention in Dodge County," the law firm said. Read more

Post some music you love... especially if it's, "blue"... or wave-ish.
Or rockabilly jazzish.
The North Carolina Voter Identification Amendment was on the ballot in North Carolina as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment on November 3, 2026. The amendment was approved.
Racist misogynist SECWAR Pete Hegseth (R) -- an incompetent alcoholic and failure who fell into ICC-indicted war criminal Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's trap which sunk the US into a never-ending Middle Eastern quagmire against the people of Iran -- a war which is bankrupting the US -- blither-blathers incoherently for five minutes over Rep. Thomas Massie's (R-KY) "Sham Articles Of Impeachment."
Bibi and Senile Satan have bankrupted America. Just look at the astronomical costs to the American taxpayer who doesn't enjoy worldclass universal healthcare like Israelis. Wow. The entire Trumpf junta should be court-martialed forthwith.
"The entire Democratic Party owes Zohran Mamdani a huge thank you. Before he burst onto the scene, the party was directionless. We had lost our way, our mojo, and our confidence. We abandoned the working class, and voters abandoned us in return. Zohran got us back on track with energy, clarity, and a real connection to the people we left behind. Without him, we might not be where we are today. Who couldn't like him? [Zohran] radiates joy, empathy, kindness, and love." '' " "Mamdani's election was a beacon of light in 2025 and gave us all hope. Now he's a household name, and Democrats around the country love him. He gave us hope we can do the same thing around the country. Progressive Democrats are the future." Even Dummkopf Trumpf has a "thing" for handsome and charismatic Zohran.
NYG QB Jaxson Dart and Zohran Mamdani (D) are Trumpf's "type."
Here's a list of Trump-endorsed Republicans who lost on Tuesday (see first comment(s)) ...
