This is kinda how it goes every mid-term election. I’m used to it by now. The way the US government is designed is hostile to progress and dragging its feet the whole time. The few moments when any party gets multiple seats of power, they sprint as far and fast as they can before the gears get clogged again.

You gotta just play the hand you’re dealt. If democrats win a majority, but not a supermajority, their job is to at least stop things from getting worse for a while.

    I’m actually kind of interested after I heard a synopsis. I just don’t really go to movies these days, and I think a lot of other folks don’t go as much either.

    I’ve heard (anecdote only) that this accounts for some foreign countries believing he’s more well-spoken than reality. Translators, for the sake of clarity, might clean up much of the meandering. It’s difficult to convey poor English in a translation.

    I feel like one problem is that AI trained on real people. So I find it hard to believe that real people will never sound like AI. I think these sorts of analyzing tools can be useful, but shouldn’t be the sole source of evidence that something is generated.

    I think part of the trick is more just growing what already grows well in your area. I have a cherry tomato plant that I didn’t buy seeds for—I just tossed a few old tomatoes in the garden and it popped up subsisting off excess water from the lawn sprinklers. These last couple of months I’ve been able to step out every morning and pick a few to go with my breakfast. I haven’t had to spray for bugs because the local lizards keep them clear. I think more passive gardens like that might be the way to go.
