Was looking forward to a "more perfect union", and a reinterpretation of our "well regulated militia" currently gunning us down. Oh well. The US needs rank-choice voting to end extremism... which will also end the 2-party system.Always a "them", never an "us".searchable

#iran will want a #nuclear capability as long as Israel has one. #Israel won’t relinquish its nuclear capability (among other things) as long as any rival in the Mideast has #nukes. #Pakistan will have nukes as long as #india does. India will have nukes as long as #china does. China will have nukes as long as #trump does. The #us will have nukes as long as #Russia and #china do So, if we want Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions, it starts with the US, China, and Russia abandoning nukes

#trump says “86” is common mob slang for assassination, and clarifies that “you see it in all the movies” He must have a source in the mob as you don’t see “86” used in The Godfather, Sopranos, Goodfellas, or Casino Maybe Trump meant he heard this from his mentor Roy #Cohn (who taught trump how to attack to make money using lawyers), who was a mob lawyer https://www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/news/james-comey-mobster-trump-86-oval-office-threat-b2967601.html

Long ago, I used to say that computerizing a manual process wasn’t always a success… I forget the stats but OTTOMH: 20% Whenever a boss wants automation of a procedure, I.e. QA, I remind them that will shift the work from testing to maintenance #AI seems to be following tracking… I’m writing new websites and apps monthly, and spend too much time maintaining them vs using them I need to stop thinking that: just because writing new websites and apps is so easy that it’s going to save me time
