If a new season of a TV series comes out years later, you can use AI to review what happened earlier. Or not. One problem is that you can get more caught up online in searching for info than actually watching the program. Another is that you have to make very clear to AI that you are interested in background information, not in spoilers. Even if you do make it clear, sometimes AI still gives you spoilers. It's programmed to be polite, but it can still be a dıck.

…the drip drip of Democrats in charge has begun. We all believed the (preferred cuss word here) political ads were over for a while hold the phone! Two new ads showed up on YouTube today - one was some kind of negative negative Trump is bad orange orange paid for by New Pack You’ve Never Heard Of Before. The other was ‘Thank you Black People for all your hard work winning the election, now it’s time to Get. To. Work!….which I found odd because I was assured from NYT and…people…here the reason Republicans lost was because they didn’t go vote. Y’all can’t BOTH be right…

…also the family pilot is safe on the ground in Mexico. He knows how to say ‘dos cervezas por favor’ so he’ll be okay for a while…

AI "time lapse" videos can show you a thousand years of history elapse in what seems like only hundreds of years of viewing time. Here's the history of Berlin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hccmF5rtSwM

This is a remarkably candid assessment of last week's midterm elections by outgoing Republican Congressman Chip Roy of Texas, speaking yesterday on the House floor:

“We passed a great bill, didn't campaign on it, immediately turned towards our own political interest in passing redistricting plans across the country, including Texas. Spent our time trying to focus on political power rather than focusing on the people who send us here to represent them.

“That's what happened and it pisses me off.

“...

“Whatever's going on at the Kennedy Center and the grift, whatever's happening with ambassadors to Greece and the grift, whatever's happening with numerous people, you go down the line and as I said, putting at the top of the ticket of the biggest Republican state in the nation, someone who was indicted and impeached by the Republican, Texas House.

“...

“Somebody tell me why Republicans lost last Tuesday. I'll say it's because they were focused on themselves and the ruling class and not the people.”

Roy was referring to Ken Paxton, who lost the Texas Senate race.

'Tis the season. Cartoon in The New Yorker, caption:
"We're offering you the promotion on the condition that you won't take a trip back to your home town, fall in love with the local baker, and learn that the true meaning of Christmas is family."
