I've got no time or patience for you if you display an altered US flag.

SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26

NO - 41%
YES - 38%
UNSURE - 21%

Now I'm anxious...

gives new meaning to it all If not today nor yet tomorrow then some other day

Towns and localities are facing major budget crises (imperiling schools, teachers, and other programs) this year, and we're spending $100 million PER HOUR on a gruesome and unprovoked war. Unreal.

Call me when AI funds a world where we can all have safe, reliable, and fulfilling work for safe, reliable, and fulfilling lives. I'll be fully on board, I swear.

“True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.”

38% of airline passengers vote to open plane door midflight because that bitch stewardess said not to

Maybe people will wake up to the fact that the AI push has been about paying workers even less and taking away job security.

Less "prompt engineering" and more labor organizing.

Dr. Lazarus (played by Alan Rickman in Galaxy Quest) says, "It's like throwing gasoline on a flame."

I think the cultural effect of art is a more potent consideration, by far, than the intention of the artist precisely because it happens, it amplifies itself, and we have to live with the consequences.

Tell me CNN doesn't suck. CNN sucks.

Yup. Most of my longest-running friendships ... nuked.

AMEN. A-freakin-men.

Doesn't help that my generation -- Gen X -- rocks out to 90s revolutionary music (with their $500 headphones) while pulling the lever for corporate corruption and MAGA.

I want to know the ransom angle. How much will it cost me per month to keep ghost-family 'alive'? How easily do they 'lose' the ghost and under what circumstances?

"Oceania was at war with Eurasia: therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia. The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil, and it followed that any past or future agreement with him was impossible."
1. Don't be like that.
2. No.

They are literally running with “we have always been at war with Eurasia.” Unreal.

We sat down with a few in a Midwest high-end restaurant...

Indeed. Vonnegut suggested this in 1968 (predicting an alternate 1976) in his magnum opus Slaughterhouse Five:
"The United States of America has been Balkanized, has been divided into twenty petty nations so that it will never again be a threat to world peace."

The War Powers ... hAcked

"But war is pain, and hate is woe."

It's a scattershot regime with scattershot cruelty. The pellets are not distraction for other pellets sprayed at various targets.

No one should be using ChatGPT or partnering with OpenAI for anything.

What a post.

INDEED! The accident of having a sun and moon with the exact same size/profile in the sky has fundamentally affected so much cosmology. Anything else would have huge effects. Wild to consider. Might be why Luke with two suns blew people's minds (that and John Williams).

I read their TL. They do NOT appear to be in good circumstances. Likewise, they're debating another account arguing that Gen-X (of which I'm a member, btw) invented being mistreated by capitalism. I just want young people to have some hope and promise of good outcomes for good work. Jeez.... 🖖👍✌️

@kaliena.bsky.social I appreciate your patience in striving to do what I was unwilling to attempt with that person in that thread. Have a really good day. Thank you.

"This mixture of vagueness and sheer incompetence is the most marked characteristic of modern English prose, and especially of any kind of political writing. As soon as certain topics are raised, the concrete melts into the abstract and no one seems able to think of turns of speech that are not hackneyed: prose consists less and less of words chosen for the sake of their meaning, and more and more of phrases tacked together like the sections of a prefabricated hen-house." -- George Orwell, Politics and the English Language

George Orwell, "Politics and the English Language":

You ain't kidding, man. I'm a public school teacher, and the kids feel it. They know it. It's bleak. And my entire professional reason for being is to help them prepare for a world we're yanking away like Lucy with the football.
