Actively working to be a good human— for me this is being a good neighbor, a good citizen, and not just follow the general drift of society…and prayer helps me do that! Proud parent of two, one of whom is trans, who I love and protect, always. She/her

It’s artificial intelligence. In the history of computing, this puerile attempt to rename it because of the simpleminded whims of an incompetent and corrupt narcissist will be seen as a failure of leadership, an abandonment of intellectual integrity, and an embarrassment for any who join with him.

the whole point of exercising "equitable powers" on the shadow docket is to quickly address imminent, irreparable harm it is infuriating and disgusting for the GOP justices to deploy that to block the harm of, what, insufficiently slow ethnic cleansing? ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/ketan...

A problem is that many people know that the vast majority of the people who voted for the fascist in chief in 2024 would vote for him again today. So folks know that many people are politically untrustworthy. It adds to the malaise.

I posted in my newsletter about an incarcerated comrade named Kenneth who is running a mobile library in prison. He needed a new cart and some readers generously donated. Here's the new cart! Thanks to those who supported him.
Two men in striped pants and white shirts stand by a cart with books, under a colorful “Perfection” sign on a white brick wall. One holds up two fingers in a peace sign, the other displays a book.

Earth’s oceans just broke a heat record. The implications will be massive
Human-caused global warming and a strong El Niño are adding excess heat to the oceans, threatening marine life and providing storms with more energy and moisture.

The other side of this is, of course, many daycare workers are so poorly paid they are low income. Free daycare could actually solve both issues. Freeing parents to join the workforce and paying workers a living wage.

Many low income people are in fact stay at home parents because the cost of daycare is so high that their salary if they went to work would not cover it.
