@somafm I always enjoy the tracks on Groove Salad that include either Carl Sagan or HAL. Who are the artists that routinely include them?

Remember this guy didn’t even write his own book, “The Art of the Deal” and he lost money running casinos in Atlantic City. He also had to be bailed out by Deutsche Bank numerous times to remain solvent. A financial mastermind he’s not.

2 percentage points lower turnout in North Carolina doesn’t seem like much, but it’s something to study if possible.

“North Carolina was one of the few key states in this election where participation was lower. In 2020, 71 percent of eligible voters cast a ballot. In 2024, that number is expected to fall closer to 69 percent.”

“Attack of the Voice Clones”

Just got through listening to “Shell Game” in which a podcaster clones his own voice and hilarity ensues.

@GottaLaff more and more Musk comes across as the guy people listen to only because he bought his own podium. Let’s stop pretending he has anything useful or intelligent to say. Stop legitimizing Musk.

If only alpha-males vote, that’s not democracy, it’s called _t_ocracy or more accurately idiocracy.

I completely forgot that when you look up a business in Apple Maps, if you want to make a new contact from it, you have to use the share button. I got used to the old way (iOS 16 and earlier) and really question why it got buried there. Saving to contacts doesn’t strike me as a sharing activity. If it were, then the contacts app should be a sharing target.

We need a solar generation moonshot program in the United States. All power companies should be compelled to do this. And the impetus for this should come directly from @potus Our collective futures depend on it.
