If you have time to listen to an interview with a former border patrol agent, this is eye-opening. Female agents being raped as their initiation, churches supporting abuses, etc.

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.
Maybe these boats are trying to bring us the unredacted Epstein files?
I am forever grateful to you, Marc.
"Stroozas"!
I'm glad to now know you, Sam Strooza. I love and admire your dedication. ❤️🥲
On the bright side, the pendulum often swings back to analog culture (at least for some people). The human brain tends to get bored with standardized culture.
...with it's weaknesses (which is part of what defines ones style) is part of the statement or storytelling that is being communicated. When we give up our style for smoothed out AI drawing (or AI writing), we lose a part of what makes our written / drawn voice unique.
I fear people will lose the ability to write and to draw. You mentioned Allison Bechdel above - and opined that her drawing ability is not what's important about her work. But in comics and graphic novels, the images are a part of the writing, as they convey information. And the artists style...
The image is a haiku by Issa: Crescent moon -- bent to the shape of the cold. Translated by Robert Hass
When the 24 hour news cycle gets to be too much, it's important to take a break. One thing that has helped me at times is reading and writing haiku.
FEBRUARY is National Haiku Writing Month - created by Michael Dylan Welch - a chance to try writing a 3-line haiku poem every day.

#AbolishICE
ICE continues to commit crimes, including abducting children and breaking into homes without a judicial warrant.
They are using the 4th Amendment as toilet paper.
Senator Cantwell, I urge you to vote to remove all funding from ICE! Abolish ICE!

I don't have cute cat photos, so, sorry, I'm sharing a video of child being abducted by ICE thugs.

LLMs are stealing our humanity, making our brains lazy, ripping off our creative people. Use them to cure cancer or something useful. But so far, they mostly seem like BS. I am not a fan of them of data centers.
I hope we see that guy arrested and on trial on day.

We recently tested ~ a dozen public statements from a diverse set of Democratic elected officials on the murder of Renee Good and this was the top testing one
Frost: People should know that them cutting your healthcare, them cutting nutritional assistance, SNAP benefits, all this stuff—they're cutting that from working people so they can give ICE money to go terrorize our communities.
Very true!
But also, Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez's murder was not filmed (so far as I know) which would have garnered more outrage. Good's murder is maybe the most filmed murder I've ever seen, making it hard for anyone to dispute that was a flat out execution.
Data centers are wasting vital drinking water. AI steals our humanity and will literally kill us as well. It can't go away fast enough as far as I'm concerned.
Ted Lieu: “The reason Acting President of Venezuela Donald Trump sucks at running Venezuela is because he sucks at running the United States of America — we ask Donald Trump to be the President of America, not the President of Venezuela”
Is neither a choice - I choose neither
Thanks, Mike. It was a moving event for me.
Whoa

ICE apparently has this kink around stopping motorists and then shooting them. (gift article)

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.
The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.
Where is the MAHA outcry?
