There is no cheaper home defense than the sound of a shell chambering into a shotgun. Short of maybe the free little baseball bats you get from the Louisville Slugger Museum. My Louisville people and country family where is your bat at?

I recently had a completely insane experience with Turo and determine their extremely predatory company. I was planning on publishing but please reach out if you are interested or if I could send it along for your review🙏🏻

The last time Trump sent Feds to Portland; I was an emergency dispatcher for the city/county. It radicalized me; what I was seeing/hearing/dispatching didn’t match the narrative. Proud Boys/Patriot Prayer were the REAL issue. Abolish ICE. Oh, and there’s this: gizmodo.com/donald-trump...

Homeland Security Admits It Tried to Manufacture Fake Terrorists for Trump

A new Homeland Security report details orders to connect protesters arrested in Portland to one another in service of the Trump's imaginary antifa plot.

I know a lot of people won’t click through to read about “med beds” so here’s the crucial quote to explain how fucking crazy this is. Trump just posted an AI video of himself promising every American access to this.

An increasingly popular conspiracy theory falsely centers around the existence of "med beds" a fabled medical instrument that does everything from reversing aging to regrowing missing limbs.
The theory has grown in popularity among followers of far-right movements like QAnon, some of whom claim to be urgently awaiting a med bed to treat severe health conditions.

They want you mad at trans people and immigrants so you don’t think about them shifting wealth from the bottom to the top with every move they make. And Trump’s trillions transfer is accelerating the process.

RFK Jr.’s damage to the CDC is ‘past the point of no return,’ Dr. Demetre Daskalakis warns

“The CDC you knew is over,” the infectious diseases doctor told The Advocate. “Unless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.”

In reading back to try and understand I realize I meant "it's done" as "this has already been done" and for me "so please explain what I am missing" is implicit when the norm may still be far too different. I'm taking the L on this one, to be clear, no further ask for your time. I wish you well! 🙏

I certainly hope you don't think that all mental illness stems from a desire to harm others, I think that clearly untrue. I guess I read in "the central sickness" *of a new* "mental illness. We don't need a new illness, the current definitions work. Greed and sadism don't need a diagnosis to avoid.

Wasn't trying to imply anything, apologies. Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) already exist and lack of empathy is part of what defines them. No need to create additional ones.

Beyond the standard actuarial tables already used for these things or are we mistaking more or less standard practice in conversations of this nature? I mean enough of them lack empathy which is a hard stop from me regardless of how the math works out for them 🤣

Generative AI (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLM) have a problem with environmental impact and the privatization of human creativity. Machine Learning (ML) for moderation has nothing to do with either. Marketing has made the term AI meaningless. Subjecting human beings to CSAM is unsustainable.

A lot of people are understanably upset that Bluesky is using an AI tool for moderation. It is important first to understand the human cost of the alternative, manual moderation. All the social media platforms have this problem. www.theverge.com/2019/2/25/18...
