I call them fans of very late term abortions...

Question: why are politicians regarded as strong leaders by how much they can punish the most vulnerable? Beating up those without the resources to fight back seems to be the weakest option to me...

I saw someone point out today that to a French speaker “ChatGPT” reads like “Cat, I farted” (« Chat, j’ai pété ») and now that is what I am going to think of every time I see it mentioned.

Doing training in Snowflake Database this week... Kinda disappointed that no one has mentioned lite beer

Wow... I just got this email from the lecturer who marked my Master of Analytics Capstone assessment.

Richard Nixon on marijuana legalization via antisemitism:

I mean one on marijuana that just tears the ass out of them. I see another thing in the news summary this morning about it.

You know it's a funny thing, every one of the bastards that are out for legalizing marijuana is Jewish. What the Christ is the matter with the Jews, Bob, what is the matter with them?

I just looked outside my window and saw a bird getting a worm.

Exactly... Instead of arguing one or the other, we should be considering where that balance should lie. And the optimum position of that balance will change from industry to industry and over time. It's a nuanced complexity that doesn't suit the modern narratives

It's heartwarming to see the evangelicals praying for everyone who slept with porn stars right after their wives give birth.

They are the ones God should be protecting in these unpresidented times.
