I hope he’s fact checking.
AI is great but I can’t count the number of times it’s tried to bluff me or just been outright wrong.

One of my most-read essays asks a simple question:
How do societies convince themselves they are unquestionably the good guys?
And what happens when nobody is willing to challenge that assumption?
"Are We the Baddies?"

The most chilling moment in the famous "Are We the Baddies?" sketch isn't the joke.
It's the realization.
The realization that the people wearing the skulls thought they were the good guys.
History is full of moments like that.

Wait!
Didn't the Left say he was never going to step down?
Can y'all get on the same page about how he's doing to destroy American democracy.

Agreed.
A good start would be only letting people who pay net taxes vote.
There is less chance that they will vote for "free" services since they're the ones that have to pay.
Women's suffrage is not the problem - universal suffrage is.

The villains in history rarely thought they were villains.
Most believed they were compassionate.
Most believed they were enlightened.
Most believed they were on the right side of history.
That's what makes the question so uncomfortable:
How would we know if we're repeating their mistakes?

And the last decent argument to keep the CBC funded by taxpayers ends.
A joint statement from Sportsnet and CBC:
ALT After a successful 12-year partnership, Sportsnet and CBC today announced the public broadcaster will no longer carry NHL broadcasts after the current season as it moves forward with a new sports programming strategy following the unprecedented success of the Milano/Cortina Olympic Games. Watching hockey on Saturday night is a time-honoured tradition for Canadians, and Sportsnet is privileged to continue delivering that tradition. This has been a terrific partnership, and both parties look forward to continued opportunities to collaborate in the future.

Bad behavior includes:
- unpaid debts
- doing undeclared work
- links to extremist organizations
Seems like they should have already had something covering that last one.

I wrote this essay last year.
If anything, I think the question has become even more relevant:
How does a society know when its certainty has become a blind spot?
And how can you tell when you're the one inside it?
"Are We the Baddies?"

Someone explain the disconnect here.
Politicians need people’s votes.
Can they possibly believe that this is what the public wants?
