Let me just encourage all who oppose trump to start spelling his name in lower-case letters, to signify he's a person of low moral rectitude.

Hey, look eva-buddy. I got a great gift from SpartanLadySusan! @spartaladysusan.bsky.social What prompted it was my use of lower-case lettering to show that trump (as opposed to Trump) is a man of low moral rectitude. Be sure to check out her daily newspaper. It never fails to capture the moment.

Ad: CNN wants me to subscribe, "to stream the full CNN experience." Translation of ad: "We want you to pay, in order to see the commercials we embed in the video stream, which can't be removed by ad-blockers." (I do subscribe, FYI, but stay away from all streaming there. I HATE ads)

Let's face it. AI is great for looking stuff up (e.g., "What do psychologists have to say about donald trump's personality?") However, AI has HUGE potential for weaponization by capitalists, authoritarian governments (such as the U.S.), the military, and hackers. W/o regulation, evil will prevail.

Read about how the Baltic states are preparing for a possible Russian invasion. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202... Why Russia would initiate a 2-front war involving a challenge to NATO boggles the mind. Most likely he's bluffing, trying to scare US and EU into backing off support for Ukraine.
