First they came for the immigrants, and few did anything. Then they murdered a woman in her car and called her a terrorist. Then they murdered a man. Then they arrested a 5-year old. Then they arrested 100 clergy. Then they murdered another man and called him a terrorist. We know how this poem ends.

The unbridled unjustified violence. The incompetence. The impunity. The bald-faced lies. The victim-blaming. The inhumanity. I expected and feared this would come. I fear what comes next. The only way forward is steadfast solidarity against the meat grinder of fascism. Stay safe my friends.

A reminder that @sarahkendzior.bsky.social wrote two whole books warning about this exact thing happening, and people ignored her. I very much want to know what she thinks is going to happen over the next 2-4 years.

Prompt: "Create a new Canadian ketchup flavour." Response: A merging of two different bottles. Reason: AI systems know nothing of the real world. During a demo yesterday, an AI system generated an image like this, and the crowd laughed. It took me 2 minutes to reproduce in ChatGPT.

AI-generated image showing a fictitious bottle of "French's Maple Bacon Ketchup made with Real Maple Syrup" that has a fluted top with a white cap and a wide bottom with another white cap. If you hold your hand over the top or bottom, the bottle looks real. Seen as a whole it looks bizarre because it is capped on both ends.

An astonishing figure in this piece: Last year, the U.S. budgeted $12.8B for new affordable housing. This country is now poised to spend $45B on immigrant detention centers. That's nearly *four times* as much on cages as on homes—in the middle of a devastating housing and homelessness crisis.
