lemme just drop this short here:

Trumpers place them in the rear view mirror as quickly as possible.

Many while they are on their way to church.

Good points; I ran an office of a dozen headhunters, er, Exec Search Consultants in the Silicon Valley in the 80's. It was a wild time, and we worked with what are now a lot of famous names.

But your post led me to ask about this: AI in Executive Search.

Here's the first articles I found:

- because we arent drug addicts or mentally ill.

from the article

"The woman had been sex trafficked since she was young, was a drug user, and had been abused, neglected, or exploited in just about every relationship she'd had."

Too bad for her, huh Major?

"There but for the grace of God go I." - John Bradford

That woman could have been you, Boaz. Or your Mom or your sister.

In Christianity, she is to be treated as such... and in America, we've always thought of ourselves as a Christian nation; pooling our resources to help the poor and downtrodden... not point at them and say how much better we are.

"Twin Cities police chiefs: officers report being targeted while off duty by ICE agents

Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley says multiple Twin Cities officers of color have been stopped while off duty by ICE agents who demanded "paperwork" to prove legal status " and he says residents have reported similar stops.

In this clip, Bruley describes one incident he says involved ICE agents boxing in an off-duty officer, drawing guns, and knocking her phone out of her hand when she tried to record."

"Greenland's government will form a task force consisting of representatives of all relevant local authorities to help people prepare for any disruptions to daily life, Nielsen said.

The government is working on distributing new guidelines to the population, including a recommendation to have enough food for five days stored in their homes."

This is just Locker Room talk about grabbing Greenland by the P, right?

Or maybe it is what happened to underage girls when DJT got horny enough.

- breaking into homes

They are prolly just applying their experience from earlier careers.

"Because the AI bubble really is very bad news, it's worth fighting seriously, and a serious fight against AI strikes at its roots:

the material factors fueling the hundreds of billions in wasted capital that are being spent to put us all on the breadline and fill all our walls with hi-tech asbestos.

Cory Doctorow is a science fiction author, activist and journalist. He is the author of dozens of books, most recently ----------------:

Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It.

This essay was adapted from a recent lecture about his forthcoming book, The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI, which is out in June."

"Now I want to talk about how they're selling AI. The growth narrative of AI is that AI will disrupt labor markets. I use "disrupt" here in its most disreputable tech-bro sense.

The promise of AI " the promise AI companies make to investors " is that there will be AI that can do your job, and when your boss fires you and replaces you with AI, he will keep half of your salary for himself and give the other half to the AI company.

That is the $13tn growth story that Morgan Stanley is telling. It's why big investors are giving AI companies hundreds of billions of dollars. And because they are piling in, normies are also getting sucked in, risking their retirement savings and their family's financial security.

Now, if AI could do your job, this would still be a problem. We would have to figure out what to do with all these unemployed people.

But AI can't do your job. It can help you do your job, but that does not mean it is going to save anyone money."

"The foundations of American power are rooted in the rule of law at home and credible commitment abroad, the very things that Trump has attempted to dismantle.

Trump's gutting of foreign aid and the infrastructure of U.S. scientific and technological dominance, his dangerous confrontation with stalwart European allies, and, most damaging of all, his use of the military and federal security forces to consolidate his domestic authority will, in the long run, undermine American power.

Estranged allies are already reaching out to China and one another to hedge against an erratic United States.

Whether these actions succeed or not, they weaken the United States and make China relatively more attractive for smaller powers seeking security. In Trump's zero-sum global order, it is the United States that will eventually pay the price."

from the Foreign Affairs article at the link

"Let's be clear about what's going on across the nation," Frost said. "They're shopping around warehouses. This is one of many they're looking at opening."

On Friday, Hope CommUnity Center said in a statement it confirmed about 300 people had been booked into the Orange County Jail on immigration holds in the previous 48 hours.

A spokesperson for the jail told the Sentinel that a total of 831 people had been booked on such holds since Jan. 1. County Commissioner Nicole Wilson said that number was a shocking total because about 300 people had been booked in December."

Wonder if the new facilities come complete with gas chambers, or is that an additional cost?

Putin invited to join US-led Gaza 'Board of Peace', Trump says

Entire article is laced with facts, figures, rational arguments, and good common sense... no Trumper will get anywhere near it!

Would one of you Trumpers inform him that YOU are paying for these Tariffs?

He either doesn't know or more likely doesn't care.

- Bully the conservatives

What conservatives? Actual political conservatives wouldn't touch DJT with your ____.

Trumpers are either radical far right or merely low-info cult followers.

Conservatives mostly are part of the Lincoln Project crowd; still Patriots, not Trump worshipers.

Of course, according to polling, DJT has sunk below the water line on almost every issue.

Says the bits and bytes that thinks and judges like a real person.

Freakin' Mendoza is amazing!

Last game he threw the ball like a Pro, this week he's toughing it out (so far).

The Refs are helping Indie at all.

- like waves on an ocean that is eternally still.

Grok is doing pretty well tonight... while waxing poetic, lol.

MLK was likely no saint, but I wouldn't trust J. Edgar's 'reports' on what he considered enemies of the state.

He learned Lie and Deny from Roy Cohen, also when he was young.

I've been seeing comments lately in industry articles giving Ringo a lot more credit than he ever got back in the day.

Evil Incompetence is no way to run a country, Trumpers.

Lets see if Dems can do something with this lead.

- Trump posted something on social media...

That's where he governs from now... the Lard Trump's posts are official WH communication.
