There was asbestos all over the General Thermostat factory my mother worked at in the 1960s. That asbestos was still in her lungs causing problems when she died in 2022. So if AI works the same way, on minds, we'll see entire lifetimes of damage.

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

7. Here's what makes certain people uneasy: To accept reality of ADHD is to accept the system itself is disabling, which means the structures must change, & that threatens those who benefit most from them. Easier to deny ADHD than to accept structural change

Ok, I work with commercial developers and there's often properties in inventory that aren't active. So this might work for them but they're very risk averse. But they like to do good things for communities. Much easier ask for temporary project.

If it's a permanent installation are you a non-profit they can get the tax boost out of this?

Cindy @cindypotts.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Do you have a preferred borough and are you in a spot to accept liability/provide insurance over the lot for the duration of the installation? And what size is needed? I know people I could ask but they're going to ask me these things.

NY 21, because this is my home. Constantino will destroy us with data centers and whatever other garbage Trump's buddies want. Stefanik mostly ignored us. Constantino will actively harm us.

That's why the authorities do this. To force obedience. To make the people afraid.

Didn't attending executions used to be mandatory, back in the day? The entire village was expected to turn out & watch? Because the lesson was not for the executed person but for anyone who might be considering similar conduct? Brutality as deterrent.

And Constantino attacking Blake for having a junk pile and dead stock pit on his place just shows he doesn't understand us at all. On a very deep emotional level, for the farmers.

Also my home district. Up on the border where I live is still very Red but the amount of Trump flags, signage, etc has dropped off to where there's only a few diehards left. Which is encouraging.

Perhaps Taylor Swift's importance is being overstated. While she is very prominent right now, I don't know if this reference on what's being regarded as clearly not her best album is going to impact the cohort most likely to use Patient Zero in an accusatory way.

Listen. To. Me. If someone told you you have cancer and you went and got treatment, that's incredibly brave of you. Be proud of your strength. People don't know. But I know how scared you were, and you did it anyway. The hard shit. Be proud. You did a very hard thing.

To add to this, I think if we add the idea one must be free of violent impulses to count as a good person to the mix, we will have a lot of people who will give up even trying to be good. Being appropriate is a much more realistic bar than being pure.

In fact that is what they teach in DV offender classes - if you need to punch, punch a punching bag, punch something specifically made for punching, not any people or animals,not the wall, not the door, not damaging your home. Use the appropriate outlet for your anger.

About that dyed diesel - it doesn't burn nearly as clean. Residue accumulates in fuel lines, filters & more. It's not an immediate problem, but it does get you over time. And most off-road, farm vehicles do not run nearly as many hours as OTR drivers go. Trump's not going to pay to fix your truck.

And a great many of us have been told that's specifically what we were *for*. When you're little, you believe a lot of things that turn out to not be true. Especially when it's the authority figures saying it to you.

It was also being with the football guy. Those guys are generally not good to the Swiftie contingent, especially the younger ones. The fact the family's MAGA didn't help.

Oh absolutely. By that point (post factories) she was pretty ill, which limited her incredible determination. A phenomenal mind. I wish she'd stopped proving things earlier in her life so as to live longer.

While Weil was a great thinker, she's a very poor person to follow in terms of where it's reasonable to draw lines. She used the threat of self harm to get her family to abide with her wishes. It's fair to say she died of ideological consistency. Not really great.

As of today, the CDC has changed (reverted) their Covid guidance to make the vaccine recommended for all people over 18. In addition to being a smart public health move, this recommendation also means insurance must cover it. Read more here: www.cdc.gov/covid/hcp/va... Listen to a breakdown here:

Can I add that if the sudden new blood pressure thing is new & they've recently added new meds to your mix, talk to the pharmacist because sometimes the combo of things makes problems you didn't have before?

I just want to honor the truth of what you're going through. After the children are grown and the parents are dead, it leaves one really adrift. And it hurts. But - it is also a freedom that's quite nice once it stops being terrifying.

Finding out Renee's Mom is a Trump supporter just makes it all worse. You know that relationship between daughter & mother had to be somewhat fraught. To know she supported the people who wanted to & did kill her, for ideological reasons.
