We’ve got several “dance partners” on the show today. A pair of insightful hot takes from readers starts the party in the Griddle, and then we’re dancing on ICE for two couplets of stories.
We’ll dance around dubious economic statements, and see how the futuristic dance of humans and AI agents is going with a satirical newscast from the year 2040.
And the Omelet Station brings us a pair of parables: salt and light.
