Thelma & Louise ...
Tax cuts for the rich, slow motion death for the dollar, the grifters remain supreme as it's all about the money as this once great nation moves ever closer to the abyss. Zakaria's right, a perfect storm looms.
The great unraveling continues ...
A cautionary tale ...
Knowing a little bit about AI gives yours truly pause when reading about the repugs wanting to do away with AI regs even though we will never know how AI works due to code having to write code in order for neural nets to react to the real world in real time. This is truly insane but then again, what do you expect when the sole purpose of Trump and company is to steal from the nation until there is nothing left.
Here's a portion of the conversation I had with Gemini regarding A. I.
Any questions?

Sharing is a good thing ... :)
ArXiv is the science version of Wikipedia where eprints related to the sciences are free for all to peruse and to learn from as needs warrant, something yours truly does without question because sharing information of quality is a good thing IMHO.
It's fractal ...
Sharing is a good thing is it not? :)

Duh ... rev II
Deleting data essential to farmers regarding climate change is rather stupid, so farmers sued to get it back because their livelihood, and, indirectly ours, depends on it. This deletion of content on all things regarding science and tech is just one hallmark of a know nothing administration that's beginning to tear apart a once great nation in ways most disquieting.
Duh ... rev II applies.

A true American hero
Smedly Butler is one of my heroes. Brave, honest and straight to the point,
he saved America from a possible fascist destiny back in 1933.
Backgrounder ...
He also wrote War is a Racket showing why war is the ultimate money maker ... for the very few.
1,000,002,021
We all die, earth, sun, the Milky Way, galaxies, etc., etc but we already know that. Regarding earth, the sun will do the job, expanding and getting hotter, first doing away with CO2, the gas all plants depend on and then, completing the job by engulfing earth as it gets bigger. When this happens, we go so ... the exact year said life ends, is, you guessed it, 1,000,002,021. :)

Anger & sorrow ...
Complex tech takes years to develop beginning with base research and leveraging it to create tech able to change the world. From quantum mechanics leading to the creation of the computer to the invention of software to build AI, complex systems are fragile beasts requiring patience, intelligence and vision in order for said system to thrive. The somber take by Scientific American regarding proposed cuts to NASA by the administration from hell is spot on because once you gut a complex system, it takes years, if even possible, to resurrect the system. Anger and sorrow on this potential dismantling of something wonderful and far reaching breaks my heart without question.
Truer words never spoken.
We were there ... back in the day ...

Hate to say it ...
Hate to say it but Hegseth is actually advocating something needing to be done in the military, cull flag officers as the officer bloated environment the arm services has become since WW II is staggering, not only leading to excessive costs but also to increased inefficiencies in terms of military prowess for over 60+ years.
Factoid
Hegseth's take.
The move would also diminish the roughly 900 current general and flag officers to below 720.
It should be 50% but beggars can't be choosers.

8% & counting ...
Looking at this sad pix of the dollar cutting itself to pieces is emblematic to what is happening under Agent Orange whether it be attacks on SS by Musk and his horde of incompetents or attacks on the press and education by hastily written executive orders by a sorry excuse of a man lusting to be dictator as it matters not as America's in serious trouble and the world knows it. We have four more years of this insanity, driven by a policy channeling Project 2025, the 900 page textbook on how to create a christian driven nazi fascist society not thought possible until now. As stated before, the nation's future's in doubt and nothing's being done right now but wait until Trump's tariffs hit and the dollar continues to tank because all bets are off when people's economic well being becomes questionable at best.
