I don’t see Unitarian Universalists complaining about not being on Hegseth’s stupid list. Yet the “one true church”, the Mormons, are throwing a tantrum they aren’t one of the MANY Christian churches. Who has more maturity? I don’t think Jesus would be complaining because he KNEW he was God. Who cares what anyone else thinks… And can they make up their minds?

Things most Americans agree on: Groceries cost too much. Tariffs suck and make no sense. Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks. The debt is a mess. The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good. Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained. Americans are exhausted. AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you. Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF. Canadians are super fucking cool. Mexicans are chill. Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies. Good neighbors are a blessing. Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea. We all question, are we alone in the universe? We all fuck up along the way. Epstein didn’t hang himself. The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day. The Cowboys suck. Go Birds! Things we’re told to fight about: Me. Laptop. Vaccines. Transgenders in sports. Pronouns. That’s the joke.

Two economists just published a mathematical proof that AI will destroy the economy. Not might. Not could. Will — if nothing changes. The paper is called "The AI Layoff Trap." Published March 2, 2026. Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Boston University. Peer reviewed. Mathematically modeled. The conclusion is one sentence. "At the limit, firms automate their way to boundless productivity and zero demand." An economy that produces everything. And sells it to nobody. Here is how you get there. A company fires 500 workers and replaces them with AI. A competitor fires 700 to keep up. Another fires 1,000. Every company is behaving rationally. Every company is following the incentives correctly. And every company is building a trap for itself. Because the workers who were fired were also customers. When they lose their jobs faster than the economy can absorb them, they stop spending. Consumer demand falls. Companies respond by cutting costs — which means automating more workers — which means less spending — which means more falling demand — which means more automation. The loop has no natural exit. The researchers tested every proposed solution. Universal basic income. Capital income taxes. Worker equity participation. Upskilling programs. Corporate coordination agreements. Every single one failed in the model. The only intervention that worked: a Pigouvian automation tax — a per-task levy charged every time a company replaces a human with AI, forcing them to price in the demand they are destroying before they pull the trigger. No government has implemented this. No major economy is seriously discussing it. Meanwhile the numbers are already tracking the curve. 100,000 tech workers laid off in 2025. 92,000 more in the first months of 2026. Jack Dorsey fired half of Block's workforce and said publicly: "Within the next year, the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion." Nobody is doing anything wrong. Companies are following their incentives perfectly. That is exactly the problem. Rational behavior. At scale. Simultaneously. With no mechanism to stop it. Two economists built the math. The math leads to one place. Source: Falk & Tsoukalas · Wharton School Boston University ·

A woman told me last night that I look younger than my dating profile pictures. She’s the second woman to tell me this. Both think I look like I’m in my 30s (I’ll take it!). Is that a reverse catfish? Am I reverse aging? And how can I now make my dating profile pictures look younger lol? 😂

I used to spend 45 minutes making a single social graphic. Now it takes me about 5 minutes in Canva Pro. The difference is knowing which features to actually use. Most people only scratch the surface. jessestay.com/canvapro

Five Canva keyboard shortcuts I use every single day: T → text box R → rectangle C → circle L → line Cmd/Ctrl D → duplicate (saves me ~15 min per design) Bonus: Hold Shift while resizing to lock proportions. Hold Alt/Option while dragging to duplicate-and-drag. Full shortcut sheet (30 ) is in the appendix of Canva For Dummies → jessestay.com/canvabook

Most people open Canva, pick a template, and just swap the words. The pros do something different: they hack the template. Change one font. One color. One photo. Suddenly it's yours, not Canva's. Chapter 6 of Canva For Dummies walks through this in full → jessestay.com/canvabook

Again, the issue is that building such a massive data center is a gamble right now. But does anyone realize that @SpencerJCox is an Alfalfa farmer?

My son Louis is 26. He has ME/CFS and hEDS — conditions that make every step cost him enormously. He can walk, but his body pays for it. His energy is finite. His joints unstable. His walker throws him to the ground.

We're appealing. We're fighting. But while we wait, Louis is stuck. Every day without this chair is another day of triage — what can he do today, and what does he have to give up? No 26-year-old should face that.
