AI

 Listening to someone recently, may be Joe Rogan, saying that in five years we won't be able to tell the difference between reality and AI generated media.  He's probably correct.  Especially us old farts who may not be as tech-savvy as the youngsters, and whose eyes are getting dimmer.  I get it.

But then again, the past several years have been good practice.  Listening to the likes of Jake Tapper and Morning Joe, you would have never believed that there was anything wrong with Joe Biden.  Now, with the tell-all books coming out, we're supposed to believe that they were witless idiots rather than competent journalists.  We were supposed to believe then, rather than our lying eyes. And we are supposed to believe then now, too.  They can't have it both ways.

On the other hand, why limit them?  They can be both witless idiots and liars at the same time.  Both then and now. It cuts the Gordian knot of their narrative in a truly simple way.

Oh, and about Joe's cancer diagnosis.  I talked to a bunch of friends yesterday.  Friends my age.  A PSA test is simple, routine, and almost universal in men of a certain age.  I get one twice a year.  Anyone who believes that Joe just found out that he has cancer is much more gullible than I am. They have known this for a while.  The timing of this news tells you everything.
