You said that the AI faux podcast explaining “project russia” was very important for understanding what’s happening now. I have twice started listening, but gave up.

I trust you on the importance. But I can’t get past that irritant. When you read from your Paranoia on Parade article, it was also a lot of info, but easy listening! So why not translated just have the AI read the “project russia” playbook? Maybe even in your voice? Meryl Streep? That AI banter is insufferable.

@davetroy

It’s not a quibble. It’s hard to retain a train of thought, and since it’s a new format for you (as far as I know?) I thought maybe you’d be open to offering a simple reading in tandem. I don’t know how hard it is to get AI to generate another version.

I’ve read/listened to your work for many years. Believe me, I know we’re in trouble.

Finishing up my morning coffee with the latest from our favorite, courageous cartoonist.☕️🇺🇸

The sun came out for a few minutes yesterday. 🍁

It’s clearly past peak for my maple trees, but just barely. With so much time spent on line, trying to follow and understand all the craziness, I was so grateful to be able to step outside for a bit today.

First they should try building some plumbing.

I think it’s probably Burns/Sullivan. They don’t want to defeat russia. Biden isn’t likely (or able?) to decide on 🇺🇦 victory as an objective now, on his way out. It’s bad enough that this policy has cost so many lives and environmental catastrophes. But the fact that my president and his advisers are successful in preventing others from allowing 🇺🇦 to defeat the enemy is maddening.

Beautiful day for cutting the grass while listening to General Ben’s recent interview. Honest, specific, and hopeful.😊🇺🇦🇺🇸

@eva_chaos @AndersGottlieb Maybe for their domestic audience? They can muddy up reality for those who don’t know any better and platform more lies and photo ops.

@eva_chaos @AndersGottlieb I think you’re right. Tim Snyder, in an eye opening episode of Frontline “Putin and the Presidents” (6 months ago) spoke for an hour on many of the misunderstandings we in US have about Russia. I’m listening again now and I get it even better than I did in February! Russians don’t expect fair elections. They want the circus and want to convince everyone that no elections anywhere can be trusted. Being seen as a great power is what is most important to them.

@arstechnica Are the TV’s still tuned to Fox on military bases? Is Dejoy still running the Post Office? C’mon! Chop chop! Let’s save democracy!
