It's not clear whether DOGE was saving money with this kid because they didn't need to buy him razors, or if that was outweighed by what they had to spend on diapers.

This is what happens when you let AI do your math. But even if these BS numbers were true, what's your point? Cars are too important to enable people to walk?

It's the SUVs everyone in Florida drives to the mall, doing a little planetary greenhouse gassing. And the A/Cs to make life comfortable, by pumping the carbon from fossilized sunshine (aka fossil fuel, duh) from millions of years ago straight into the atmosphere. Live long and screw the grandkids.

You can't demonize ICE. It's already the devil. btw, and when I say FUCK THE FASCIST ICE AGENTS, I know full well I won't be able to enter the US during this regime. I'm willing to exercise good old American free speech, even if it means I have to live completely in exile for 4 years to stay free

I hope to spread the use of the term Gazpacho Police to accentuate and ridicule at the same time. Fascism at the hands of nincompoops, in the words of one leading ignoramus from the ruling kakistocracy.

Look at the image. It gives a very prominent link to its AI genesis. Do you get bent out of shape in your bookstore because the sci-fi section is based on "fake science"? Context is key.

PirateProfessor @pirateprofessor.bsky.social · 19/05/2025
Also, funny thing, the ICE agents are not actually showing up in uniforms labeled "Gazpacho Police". In fact, they are often snatching people off the street while wearing masks, and showing no identification of any kind. So I'm not gonna find the image I need with Google Image Search.

You are so right. It is better to use copyrighted images of real victims experiencing the worst moments of their lives.

PirateProfessor @pirateprofessor.bsky.social · 19/05/2025
No. In this particular case, creating an image to communicate a complicated message in a simple way that will be understood on political fora. For the spreadsheet, complicated data manipulation regarding about 50 datasets and 2375 languages spoken in 55 countries. Sometimes, AI is the right tool.

In defense of using AI (of which I am often a harsh critic in my professional life), there are times where it performs tasks that I am incapable of. Eg, spreadsheet scripting. Better yet, making images to make a point: kamu.si/gazpacho-pol...

I hope nobody in my family dies in the next 4 years, because the Gazpacho Police would take one look at my social media and put me on the next flight to their off-shore torture chambers, if I flew in for a funeral. Maybe if I pre-plan a burner phone?

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...
Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first.

One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish.

Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points.

We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are.

We should not even propose it. Greatly reducing use of cars, and changing the mindset about them should be the goal. Advocating a total ban is a recipe for the majority of the carcissistic world to completely refuse to contemplate a better way I made some relevant videos. Here's one: kamu.si/honey
