I just don’t understand why AI enthusiasts feel the need to both evangelize and then fear-monger about what will happen to you if you don’t use it… it’s so culty.

these food recalls and exposures are going to keep happening under this administration. He changed policy and cut funding in his previous tenure and Biden never fixed it. Now, it is worse. Share widely to protect people.

Didn’t his own mother right an op-ed about him about how she’s ashamed of him because he’s a hateful misogynist who is abusive to women?

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

We are currently outside the ICE Broadview concentration camp where Sunny Naqvi’s family believes her to be held after being detained in O’Hare by federal authorities.

This really should be on every front page in America.

The fucking President, an adjudicated rapist and Epstein BFF, almost certainly assaulted a 13 year old child

I have a black velvet tank top with a sparkly red dragon emblem that had its own Sisterhood of the Traveling Tank Top. Multiple friends have worn it, everyone looks fab in it, and my friend wore it on our epic NYE in London in 2002.

I was enjoying the earlier part of Bridgerton Season 4, but the latter episodes are starting to drag a bit.

Or maybe I just find Francesca and her storyline really boring.

This season of Bridgerton: best approached as an Oliver Sacks story about a man with so little object permanence that he constantly asks himself, with astonishment, β€œWait! Could the 5’1” Korean girl I’ve been dating this week be … the π‘ π‘Žπ‘šπ‘’ 5’1” Korean girl I met at the ball last week?”

I know that the people who need to read this aren’t here, but here goes:

Rules of engagement aren’t for the enemy. They’re for you. They’re for your soldiers when they’re captured or wounded. They’re for your civilians when they’re in range of the enemy. They’re for your allies, to reassure.

A few hours after NYT reported that the U.S. bombed an elementary school in Iran, killing many children, the White House last night posted this video mixing airstrike footage with Top Gun, Iron Man, Gladiator, Halo, Breaking Bad, Star Wars, John Wick, Superman, Transformers and Dragon Ball Z

Looks like I’ll be in Anchorage for a couple of days this July (for a friend’s wedding)! Any suggestions for what-not-to-miss?

I’ll have with me:
A 6 month old baby
A rental car probably
A keen interest in local culture, especially craft, and local ecology

It is really a low water mark to be at war with the one of the worst regimes on Earth and manage to come away as the callous and undignified party.

The thing about this administration is that when a horrible person gets fired or quits the sigh of relief is only momentary because the person that fills their shoes is just as bad or worse.

An Iranian-American friend got angry at me for sharing news about the US bombing of the Iranian ship ship during the Indian train exercise. She believes the US and Israel are fighting to free Iranians and only bombing military targets to protect civilians.
