Inverting the “tragedy plus time” formula Late night comics weighed in on the Republicans’ 15-round House Speaker fight (New York Times): “Things really started to spin out on the floor of the House. It got so out of control, I thought I was watching the Oscars.” — JIMMY KIMMEL “Ahead of the last round of voting for House speaker, Alabama Congressman Mike Rogers appeared to charge at fellow Republican Representative Matt Gaetz. And, out of habit, Gaetz yelled ‘I’ve never even met your daughter!’” — SETH MEYERS “That’s a face mask violation — 15 yards. It was really the most exciting hour of cable news in quite some time.” — JIMMY KIMMEL “Oh, my God. I don’t know if men should hold political office. They’re just too emotional!” — STEPHEN COLBERT “After 15 rounds of voting, McCarthy pulled off the impossible — he got people to watch C-SPAN for an entire week.” — JIMMY FALLON “I can’t even imagine what McCarthy was going through.

Or the changing climate Dr. Ian Malcolm : Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that’s how it always starts. Then later there’s running and um, screaming. What with 6-year-olds shooting teachers and Real Americans™ vying to turn the U.S. into Syria (or Somalia), House Republicans, antivaxxers, authoritarian mobs, and climate change will have to compete to be the final straw that takes us out. ChatGPT has received lots of gushing press recently touting the tantalizing possibilities for artificial intelligence (AI). Have these people never seen 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Terminator, or The Lawnmower Man ? Perhaps we as a species are too naive to survive. Axios: Malicious hackers are already using the flashy new AI chatbot, ChatGPT, to create new low-level cyber tools, including malware and encryption scripts, according to a recent report. Why it matters: Security experts have been warning that OpenAI’s ChatGPT tool could help cybercriminals speed up their attacks, and it all happened fast.

Keep in mind that cutting spending is just owning the libs. They are all too stupid to have the most rudimentary understanding of what any of this means. The good news is that they can’t accomplish any of this stuff because they only have one house of congress and if they strong arm their swing state members into voting for this loony nonsense they’ll lose their seats in 2024. Of course, they will take the debt ceiling hostage at their earliest convenience to try to blackmail the Senate and the White House into going along with this ridiculous bullshit so that will be fun. But in the end they are cutting their own throats. And America is going to “go through some things.”

Emptywheel on the Biden documents case: As CBS first broke the story yesterday, on November 2, some Biden associates discovered around ten classified documents (including some classified TS/SCI) in files from his former offices at Penn Biden. The documents were returned the next day, NARA made a referral to the FBI, and Merrick Garland asked one of two remaining Trump US Attorney appointees to investigate the matter. The report has generated a lot of insanely bad reporting, including this article from the NYT — with four reporters bylined and two more contributing — that doesn’t even mention a key detail from a recent Alan Feuer scoop (which I wrote about here): that Beryl Howell might yet hold Trump or his lawyers in contempt for failing to return all the classified documents in his possession. Peter Baker and his colleagues didn’t mention that recent NYT scoop, but it did see fit to quote the former President without fact check. Nor did they note that Biden is not complaining that this is under investigation, whereas Trump has never shut up about it.

Here’s what they have in mind: Republicans granted its panel a sweeping mandate that included investigations into pandemic-related school closures, gain-of-function research, vaccine mandates and the trillions of dollars in coronavirus aid Congress approved. The panel doesn’t yet have a Republican leader but expects to hold its first hearing next month.  Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) is set to chair the broader oversight panel under which the covid subcommittee’s work will fall.

Lol. Brent Bozell’s far right Media Research Center is calling for the smelling salts because Never Trumper Charlie Sykes laughed at Kevin McCarthy. Here’s Sykes (from his newsletter, subscription only): On yesterday’s podcast with Will Saletan, I read this piece aloud, but I’m not sure I can do justice to how much I love this bit of pearl-clutching from the snowflakes at the Media Research Center, so I’ve provided some footnotes. Here’s how it starts: Believe it or not… it gets better. We now get to the Main Event. The author then felt he had to define the term for his MRC’s readers: Right-wing doilies were rumpled and tea spilled. Standards, must be upheld. Decency and decorum. Exactly what we always expect from the right-wing media eco-system I like Sykes and I appreciate that he’s seen the error of his ways and has come over to the light. But I can’t help but remember stuff like this from guys like Sykes.

(The monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI) is scheduled for release by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Thursday, January 12th at 8:30 AM Eastern Time.)
