Its a meme of Bilbo Baggins from the lord of the rings movie and he us holding a phone reading what Chat Gpt ai is telling him it says "ChatGPT

Bilbo - After all why not? Why shouldn't
keep it?

Chat gpt: You're absolutely right - you found it it's been with
you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of
something that's served you so well especially
when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want
it for himself.

i’ve been thinking of what could even be said about such a tragedy. someone said it best that trans people are “born so late and die so young”. we uproot our lives and transition and live more life than anyone else ever does and society punishes us for it. we deserve better

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕
A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

We don’t have universal healthcare for the same reason that white southerners poured cement into their community swimming pools rather than let their black neighbors swim in them. Racism is ruining ALL of our lives.

I’m howling.
Recently, Clifford "Buzz" Grambo decided to upgrade his electric scooter. The old one he had purchased online only reached 16 mph and wasn't cutting it anymore. He needed to go faster to keep up with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement cars he chases around Baltimore. So, Grambo bought a Segway MAX G3, which features a 2,000-watt motor and can get up to 28 mph.
"The first time I caught up to them, I could tell that they already knew who I was," he told me when we first spoke on the phone in late October. "They had seen me before, so they thought they were just going to speed away. I was like, ha-ha bitches, I got a new scooter!"

Angie McCarthy: As lawmakers and residents debate expanding data centers in the state, the Maryland conservation advocate at environmental org Nature Forward provides a key voice for sustainable development.

At the Montgomery County Food Council’s Legislative Breakfast — notice how many different communities are losing their benefits. Many families are not applying to SNAP because mixed status households are afraid of putting their information on paper.
Federal Nutrition Benefits 

• Expansion of SNAP ABAWD definition - need for increased workforce development
• Removal of eligibility for refugees and asylees - need for support mechanism for this population
• Mixed-status households and fear of applying for SNAP - impact on direct certification/CEP
• Protect legislative wins: Senior SNAP supplement.
SNAP theft reimbursement
