In the end, all you do is make them a martyr and propel us faster into war.
I think the lesson they learned from the martyrs they created in the 60s (King, the Kennedys) is that it’s much easier and just as effective to assassinate character. And it’s mostly legal.

"The best-known event associated with The Catcher in the Rye is arguably Mark David Chapman’s murder of John Lennon in 1980.[14] Chapman identified with the novel’s narrator to the extent that he wanted to change his name to Holden Caulfield. On the night he shot Lennon, Chapman was found with a copy of the book in which he had written “This is my statement” and signed Holden’s name.[15] Later, he read a passage from the novel to address the court during his sentencing.[16] Daniel Stashower speculated that Chapman had wanted Lennon’s innocence to be preserved by death, inspired by Holden’s wish to preserve children’s innocence despite Holden’s later realization that children should be left alone.[16]
"After John Hinckley Jr.'s assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan in 1981, police found The Catcher in the Rye in his hotel room.[17] Hinckley’s possession of the novel was later dismissed as an influence, as a half dozen various other types of books were also discovered in his possession.
“Robert John Bardo, who murdered Rebecca Schaeffer, was carrying the book when he visited Schaeffer’s apartment in Hollywood on July 18, 1989 and murdered her.”
Two carried it, one had it back in his hotel room. And all 3 were in the 80s.
They were freelance contract jobs, and I haven’t seen anything that easy in a long while 😒
It was fairly basic, just analyzing audio tracks and extracting the dialogue from them to text. Simple stuff for AI now.
They got you too, huh
I did some AI training a couple of years ago. Turned out I trained the AI to do what I was doing.
Fool me once…
Or vanity. “I’m gonna need y’all to show up once a week to tell me how awesome I am”

The biggest party in history, and he can’t go
Clark Kent’s clothes are made of some kind of super fabric that doesn’t wrinkle. Superman folds and compresses his civvies into a small square about the size of a wallet, and keeps it in a pocket in his cape.
I can’t wait for the day that I’m forced to switch from a discontinued Meta to a homebrewed OS that supports my library.
I’ve read reports that his mind started to noticeably go south after he got shot. Yes, he was fucking old, and that shock to his system did not help. He came very close to death, and many people who knew him said he was never the same after that.
And that happened two months into his first term.
There are stories out there from just the past week about how in war simulations AI launches the nukes something like 90% of the time.
Or maybe you should just get over your superior self and let people have fun.
Yeah, and what’s the latest I can pick them up? 11:00?
Like, backyard? Sure would come in handy after hurricanes.
Stalactites hang tightly. Stalagmites rise mightily. Never forgot it after that.
Woody Allen in the photo montage is a big red flag.
Not at the time, though. His proclivities were not widely known 'til he and Farrow split in 1992, when she found out about Soon-Yi.
…Well, you might have had an inkling if you saw Manhattan.
See, right off the bat I’m like “wow, I didn’t know the Russians did the same thing as the British with the potato famine”
