Get Your Dunkin' Friday

 Tomorrow is a tailgate day. So we're gearing up for what's to come. Unfortunately, it's going to be blistering hot and sticky. I still wrestle with the "why did we move back to the Midwest?" when days like this occur. Climate change keeps coming. What was supposed to be a lovely fall day is now going to be a scorching hot and humid, sweat-stained day. I know I shouldn't be bitchin about the weather with everything going on; HOWEVER, our latest AI whistleblower downplayed climate change on the news the other day, so fuck him and fuck every data center. I'll never get over the fact that Al Gore warned us all and the powers that be did nothing.  Here are your highlights:   Fascism is what the Republican Party wants for America .  Reminder: it's illegal for federal officers to be at voting polls.   Trump administration is okay with killing endangered species .  There's a new cat! Scientists identify new cat species in Bolivia .  I know being a reporte...

Get Your Dunkin' Thursday

  A lot is going on this week. Between war, rate hikes , and conspiracies, we've got the kitchen sink. It does seem like every day of the Trump administration, we get this. Chaos. I hope the messaging gurus at the DNC start leaning into how much Republicans have made life worse. It's only been two years, and the general vibe is "life sucks." "We're all going to have to work remote cuz gas is too expensive."  Here are your highlights:   The Trump administration is putting Somali immigrants into Gitmo .  Building collapse in Gaza kills 21, maybe more .  Beto has made me cynical, but maybe Talarico has a genuine shot .  Republicans are Nazis .  The conundrum. Hasan Piker.   When all of this is said and done, Congress must make new laws so psychotic presidents don't withhold FEMA funds .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.

Get Your Dunkin' Wednesday

 The latest polling has Dems crushing Republicans this midterm. I don't think the press is ready for the Trump backlash. After seeing what's occurred with the Kennedy Center, I have no doubt he will be even more irate. The Mad King comes to mind. Gas and Diesel are not going down. He's losing the war in Iran. Has Congress passed a single bill? 6 years of this asshole and only destruction. I wake up most days hoping for good news.  Here are your highlights: Canada to be an associate member of the EU?   Me know that's not money. Crypto bill fails in the Senate .  Women built MAHA; now the men are taking over .  More news that DOGE was a complete failure .  Rate hike is on the way .  Chaos in the Middle East. Yemen is a war zone, and the Houthis are making a play for the country .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.

Get Your Dunkin' Tuesday

 AI is not going to kill us. At least not right now. We keep hearing about it, but I think it's a shell game. AI isn't really evolving, like OpenAI and Anthropic say. It seems to be stuck. Do I think AI could eventually be the endgame for civilization? I'd be silly to think it can't; I've watched enough sci-fi. However, this is not it...yet. And what might hold it back is the very real people voicing concerns about AI. As NIMBY as it may seem, across party lines, a lot of folks aren't feeling the data center vibes.  Here are your highlights:   How the Fed should deal with the AI bubble .  Yo, he said it out loud. We've got weapons in space .  DeSantis should be in DeJail . Horrific conditions at "Alligator Alcatraz." Making Air Quality terrible again .  Russia, Russia, Russia! Don Jr.'s wedding backed by Putin Pal .  The endless war in Iran and how Trump is losing it.  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.

Get Your Dunkin' Monday

 I took Friday off. 25 years since Sept. 11th got to me. It changed a lot for us. All these years later, I'm still wrestling with the trauma. My best friends went to war. Every day they were deployed was a day I thought I'd never see them again. My friends were attacked. They were harassed and some were beaten. The flag was used as a weapon if you opposed the wars. You felt a need to be patriotic. So much changed, and I know I'm not the first person to say that. Fuck.  Here are your highlights:   The weird resignation of Joe diGenova .  Speaking of 9/11. Anti-Muslim rhetoric is back in full force for the midterms .  House Democrats raise AI alarm . More of this please.  Ruining the Kennedy Center should be an impeachable offense .  The endless war in Iran is seeing costs go up. And Iran just dealt another blow to pipelines in Saudia Arabia .  Stop comprimising on transgender issues . FFS. If we can't stand up for equality, what are we even doing?...

Get Your Dunkin' Thursday

 I'm going to be brief. Recovery is harder than expected. I must rest.  Here are your highlights:   Trump offers $5k to citizens if the Republicans win the midterms . Not so fast.  Nothing to see here. August was the hottest month on record .  The bastard woman profiting off of the anti-trans nonsense .  Forever war.   AI is not complying, and it is apparent that our Silicon Valley overlords don't care .  Fuck John Fetterman . He's unwell. He wants to switch parties. Let him. Our tent shouldn't include traitors.  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.

Get Your Dunkin' Wednesday

 An odd thing I've noticed as I've gotten older is that history is a blip. 9/11 to our interns is an event. It happened; it was tragic, but that's it. I had friends go to war over "this event." I had friends who faced brutal racist abuse because of "this event." I was considered a traitor for opposing the war. It's so weird being this old now. Not sure how I feel about it.  Here are your highlights:  Texas schools, man , get out of that state as fast as possible.  Bibi knew an attack was coming. He didn't do anything .  Republicans are trying to rig elections. But mail-in voters are determined .  Oil is over $100 a barrel .  AI researcher says we're all doomed .  Trump likes his handler a little too much. He gifted Natalie Harp $45k .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.
