Now that phase one of @hcrichardson.bsky.social's wonderful "250 to 250" project has wrapped, I'll share all videos (one per day) for which I wrote scripts. Some were recorded nearly word for word; others underwent much-needed editing for clarity and brevity. Today: the 1970 shooting at Kent State.

What position in America couldn't be filled by an American worker? Way to shit on Americans, JD. There was nothing elite about Elon when he came to the US. He was, and still is, the whitest of trash.

What better proof of our lost standing in the world than the EU parliament installing this golden statue of Trump crushing the man below him ? The US has gone from the Shining City on the Hill to a tragic joke destablizing the world economy & security. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

This by Courtney Maum is where I am too. I am grateful to her for the words...

For me, the subject of AI detection is an ouroboros. I’ll speak only for myself, here is my opinion. I didn’t ask for artificial intelligence. It’s not something I need, it is not something I desire. And yet, it barged its way into my life and stole all of my books. All of them. Stole them. Trained off of them. Did not compensate me for this theft. So now, AI can write a book like me, because it stole my own work and learned my breed of humor and satire. So if someone runs an AI text detector on my creative output, it will probably “test positive” why? Because AI is a contaminant that has embedded itself into my work by stealing it and using my own work to perpetuate itself. It will test for itself and find AI there because it AI is a virus that has contaminated the DNA of my current and future writing—a form of intellectual rape. A kind of colonization. A raging plague that some gatekeepers are opening the door for.

If you ask me what I’m currently working on, the answer is nothing book-length. I’m not going to publish a new book in this current landscape. That’s a stance of privilege, I recognize that. And I can’t hold this stance forever, I can hold it as long as I have savings from my last book.

This current literary climate isn’t acceptable. It is not acceptable to have a thing thrust upon us that takes absolutely everything, and then be forced to prove that we are not the thieves.

This is an excellent summary of how we got to where we are in this country. Major Watson told us something similar but not in such detail. I’m very impressed. This is long for a TikTok video but well worth watching. Vote these scumbags out of power. #ProudBlue #FDT #MajorWatson #Midterms

Good morning 👋. A rainy fall day here today and I’m loving it. The smell of a wet autumn forest is just a balm for the soul. Have a wonderful day!

A leaf covered path leads through the forest.

This Maya ceramic funerary urn originates from the Quiche department in the highland region of Guatemala. Created during the Late Classic Period between 600 and 900 CE, the vessel features relief carvings of jaguars, human skulls, and molded spines to represent deities of the underworld, Xibalba.

Golden sunlight filters through a dense Irish woodland, illuminating an old, moss-covered tree with twisting branches and exposed roots. A small stone wall, fallen logs, and a winding forest path sit beneath the deep green canopy.

25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan. Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

If they’re admitting 81 planes, drones and helicopters worth $3.3 billion have been lost in Iran, imagine what they’re not telling us. The real cost is likely far higher, and our grandchildren will be paying for this unnecessary war and his reckless spending. www.businesstoday.in/amp/world/st...
