AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”
APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

He cut a trillion dollars from of America’s healthcare system, but you won’t feel the full pain until January 1st. Why? Because — by design — he wants your midterm vote — and thinks you’re stupid enough to vote red November 3rd without knowing you won’t feel the pain until Jan 1.

Labor Day is about unions. Unions built the middle class. You can’t support the middle class without supporting unions. Massively powerful companies & their politicians spend LOTS of money telling you not to support unions. Because it’s the only thing they fear. Happy Labor Day

As Cowboy State Daily reported, the Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities has rolled out a sweeping ban on fill-and-flush discharge, the process in which data centers flood their cooling systems with water before powering up for the first time.

That decision came after one bad actor, the Meta-affiliated data center company Goat Systems LLC, flooded local waste water pipes with fill-and-flush swill containing a rare and deadly bacterium known as Cupriavidus gilardii. Per Cowboy State, Goat Systems was found to be in “significant noncompliance” with Cheyenne’s industrial waste regulations after a months-long investigation traced the bacteria to Meta’s discharge.

“This isn’t something we normally test for,” Frank Strong, Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities engineering and water resource division manager told the Wyoming Tribune Eagle of the investigation.

Andrea LaFlamme is by far a better choice. She's a union candidate, Platner is a business owner. Tacking the words 'material reality' onto your Nazi apologia doesn't make you a Marxist.

Yesterday the The Bangor Daily News published a letter to the editor from one of my supporters. You can read it here: www.bangordailynews.com/2026/06/03/o... . For those who don't have subscription, I have also include the full text below. Together, we lead! andreaformaine.com
Bangor Daily News

Letter: Look into Andrea LaFlamme for US Senate 

As a veteran who served overseas for four years, and eight years total, and grew up as the child of a Vietnam veteran, I support Andrea LaFlamme for U.S. Senate. Because of her knowledge of being the family member and wife of veterans and an active duty, deployed soldier, she has a vast understanding of how traumatized service members can be when they return home. This is very important to me. 

Not only does she support the veteran community, she is a progressive feminist that supports women's rights, Native Americans' rights, education, and healthcare for all. Her drive to support her community is absolutely amazing, and not what I am used to from those in
governmental positions. 

Having spoken with her several times over the last few months, i've found that she actually takes interest in her future constituents and Maine neighbors. She has traveled all over the state holding town halls (in person and virtual), taking interviews, and speaking at events. 

l've seen and heard a growing interest in her as a candidate, which makes me hopeful. Everyone that I have heard that has spoken with, or listened to Andrea, walks away with what seems to be a sense of hope. She is someone that has a background in education, is an active health professor, is a union leader, and a progressive feminist, is a breath of fresh air compared to what I have seen within governing bodies. 

If able, please take a few minutes to look into Andrea LaFlamme and her campaign.

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE
 Page from a book saying:

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING
Choose your Leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led
by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
