Creating an "AI" avatar of your dead loved one w/o their input or consent, & saying that it counts "the same" as the dead loved one— ESPECIALLY as evidence in a MURDER TRIAL— is both a massive misunderstanding of what "AI" is & how it works, & a hugely dehumanizing insult to said dearly departed.

Picture of Miles O'Brien, played by Colm Meaney in Star Trek The Next Generation/Star Trek Deep Space 9, standing with his hands on his hips and smiling. There is text over the image in 4 parts. Part 1: "Stay alive. Stay fucking alive" Part 2: "It's shit now but it won't always be" Part 3: "Happiness comes in waves" Part 4: "You will find it and feel it again"

Anybody who thinks there is the remotest chance that any future Democrat congress or administration is going to pursue justice against Trump and his people, or meaningful reversal of their policies, or restitution for their victims, is an infant who needs to acquaint themselves with the real world.

As some Republicans who are running for reelection back away from Trump, remember this: They have, and will continue to vote for his policies 100% of the time.

Trump wants elections that favor his allies, a press he controls, and the power of the presidency turned against his political enemies. Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social: “This is a president who is engaged in a full-scale assault on our democracy.”

Many have been ringing the alarm for months on Trump’s destruction of the DOJ’s Public Integrity Section. Today’s revelations of corruption probes being sidelined by the Trump administration are both shameful and unsurprising.

Somehow, impossibly, the incredible Joshua Cassara has died. Truly one of our modern greats, but also an incredibly kind and gracious soul. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
This is Martha Cassara, Josh’s wife. I’m saddened to share the impossible news that Josh died on September 22nd of heart complications. You might know him for his celebrated work in comics, but he was also a good man, a wonderful father and husband, my best friend, and the love of my life. I’ll share more in the future, but for now that’s about all I can manage. If you knew Josh, you know that he approached the world with humor, sweetness, and kindness. He would not have wanted your condolences. He would have wanted your laughter and toasts. I would love it if you shared something below. Not your sadness, please, but any sort of happiness he brought you through his art, his friendship, or even a brief encounter.

May he feel all the love he gave us all. He was one of a kind ❤️

Quilt hanging on a card catalog. Neutral background with navy cursive appliqué “Do you hear thr people sing?” The background is embroidered in red starting light and getting bolder the lyrics to “killing in the name” the quilting effect is a focused sunburst from the center.

I got fired from AMC because whenever
someone ordered a small popcorn, I'd
"accidentally" fill up a large bucket and tell
them we ran out of smalls.

Now I work at McDonald's, and you better
believe you order a 6 piece, you're getting
8 or 9 nuggets. Order a 10 piece? There are
at least 13 in that box.

l'll keep doing this sh*t until the day I die.

This kind of thing matters much much more in the long run than you realize. Courts in India let off people who have committed pogroms and lynchings and gang rapes and so pogroms and lynchings and gang rapes of minorities keep happening. It makes the violence permissible and then the violence happens

Ok but I don't want scarce community resources like electricity and water to go to data centers. I want them to go to human beings (electricity, water) and pronghorn antelope and purple sage and elk and basin wildrye and even wolves (water). Tech isn't sharing resources, it just takes.

The CNBC headline: Dow rises 300 points after Trump says U.S. in ‘serious’ talks to end operation in Iran Then you read the rest:
The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Monday.

However, while the president added that “great progress has been made,” he also said that if a peace deal is not reached “shortly” and the Strait of Hormuz is not “immediately” reopened, the U.S. will “conclude our lovely ‘stay’ in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet ‘touched.’”
