A LOT OF THINGS DON’T NEED THE INTERNET:  Owners mourn spoiled food after firmware update bricks Samsung smart fridges.

IF YOU EVER WORK WITH AI, THIS BECOMES PAINFULLY OBVIOUS:  AI Isn’t Outthinking Mathematicians. It’s Out-Remembering Them.. The key advantage may not be superior reasoning, but a virtually unlimited symbolic working memory.

ON SUNDAYS I RUN A PROMO POST FOR MOSTLY INDY AUTHORS:  And sometimes forget to share it till… Friday. Look, it’s been a difficult week. Book Promo And Vignettes By Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike.

EVERYTHING MILEI SAID WAS CORRECT. AND I HAVE SLIGHT PRESIDENT-ENVY:  WOW!! Argentina President Javier Milei just walked up to the mic at the United Nations and RIPPED THEM TO THEIR FACES “It’s become a USELESS organization whose only purpose is to sustain a caste of fatefully arrogant PARASITES masquerading as well-intentioned bureaucrats!”

BECAUSE OF COURSE IT DID:  STEVE MOORE: The IRS went after honest landowners. It’s time to end this tax nightmare. The IRS is finally rethinking its conservation easement crackdown. Now it must deliver justice for law-abiding Americans.

AT LEAST IT’S SOMETHING:  Marco Rubio begins yanking visas of birth tourism enablers: ‘Sending a clear message’.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW THIS:  A.I. Deems Author Names Worth Stealing.

THEY CAN’T HELP THEMSELVES:  Those wonderful leftists strike again.

EXCEPT GOVERNMENT, WHERE THE INTELLIGENCE IS OFTEN LACKING:  Intelligence of All Sorts.

So, one form of intelligence is knowing what’s going on elsewhere, before expressing your ignorance. For example, my cousin was talking about how her house, having multiplied many times in value, is taxed based on that value as if she had sold it that year… instead of based on how much she paid for it, and was basically railing about property taxes in general.

This earned her the typical “Concerned, uninformed neophyte: Troll” (CunT) wanting to know how she proposes to fund things like roads and schools.

SO MUCH ECO FREAKING, SO LITTLE MIND:   EU Ship Recycling Fight Escalates Over Indian Beaching Yards.

A fight over whether Indian shipbreaking yards using the controversial beaching method should qualify under European environmental rules is widening, with steelmakers, recyclers, trade unions and environmental groups now urging the European Commission to withdraw its proposal.

GOVERNMENTS HAVE ONLY ONE ANSWER: KILL THEIR OWN PEOPLE IN BATCH LOTS:  The Problem of Suffering.

OPEN THREAD: It’s all you.

BEWARE OF CAT: The ‘Mind Control’ Cat Parasite Manipulating You May Have a Simple Explanation.

MAYBE THE REAL MATHEMATICS IS THE FRIENDS WE MADE ALONG THE WAY: “This month, 27 Fields medalists — winners of mathematics’ highest honor — have signed a joint declaration stating that solving famous open problems is not, in itself, the goal.”

WHAT A MESS:

Unsurprising to find out the demonic "it's not her fault" jury loons were rigging the system and breaking rules while they accused the lone sane voice of doing that https://t.co/jYdasXu2Y3

ICYMI [VIP]: Let’s Talk About the REAL ’80s.

THIS HAS A LOT OF PEOPLE RETHINKING A FEW THINGS, OR AT LEAST SHOULD:

I expected the Trump tariffs to be a disaster. I'm puzzled by what I'm not seeing.

They don't seem to have harmed the US economy in any way I can notice with my eyeballs or in the statistics. Business activity is booming, unemployment seems to be low, household consumption is…

HOW ABOUT EXPANDED SCHOOL CHOICE FOR MOMS WHO CAN’T AFFORD IT? A black mother’s choice for her son: It will be private school.

I’m sending my black son to private school, writes Jenisha Watts in The Atlantic. Growing up in Lexington, Kentucky, she “received an abysmal education” at the sort of mostly black, low-income public school that failed Nikole Hannah-Jones’ daughter. She worked hard to catch up, but is still coping with her educational deficits. She will not put her son at risk.

What’s interesting is that Watts considers Hannah-Jones a friend and confidant. She admires her courage. “I’ve always believed that I have a responsibility, especially as a Black woman who comes from a difficult background, to care about all kids in need,” she writes. “I fear I am betraying that when I choose what is best for my son and my son alone.”

Why does doing the right thing for you kid have to be accompanied by all the public handwringing?

SHE’S JUST NOT THAT BRIGHT:
