What happened in Kansas is *exactly* why you need to get rid of Newsom at the primary.

He will not protect trans people.
He will not protect homeless people.
He will not protect anyone.He considers outside of the cultural norm.

... that's Republican shit.

It would unfortunately end up being sponsored by ChatGPT, or Grok, or some other AI.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

This has been said before but please understand that the trillion dollar problem Al was invented to
"solve" is wages. Corporates are using the Al scare to depress wages. It doesn't have to work right or be productive to reduce workers bargaining power for higher wages. The threat of job loss will keep people silent on poor working conditions and poor pay packets. It is a win win for corporations.

AI is here to rob you: of wages, of intellectual property, of trustworthy info sources. Another tool to oppress us & make us compliant; so worried about survival & what is true that we become too overwhelmed to fight back. Which is why we all need to join together & fight, supporting one another

Seven Billion Reasons for Facebook to Abandon its Face Recognition Meta’s analysis that it can avoid scrutiny by releasing a privacy invasive product during a time of political crisis is craven and morally bankrupt. It is also dead wrong.

Meta adding face recognition technology to its smart glasses would violate the privacy rights of millions of people and cost the company billions of dollars legal battles. It should abandon its plans. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

“When libraries are blocked from archiving the web, the public loses access to history. Journalists lose tools for accountability. Researchers lose evidence. The web becomes more fragile and more fragmented, and history becomes easier to rewrite.”

I don’t want to live in a world that is just Big Light™️. I need candlelight. Camping lanterns. And moonlight. I need whimsy. To read under a tree, to chase a wolf. Oh no, that’s a werewolf! It bit me! Awooooo! 🌕

This is disgusting, and dehumanizing, and unfortunately coming to damn near every platform you can think of. Multilingualism isn’t an inconvenience to be “solved” by technology. We have to push back.

The Transformative Power of the White ‘Race Traitor’

"The first person to be executed for treason in the US was not a spy or someone who sold secrets to a foreign government. It was not a Confederate general who took up arms against his government. It was an abolitionist named John Brown." from @nhannahjones.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/m...

What if the biggest conspiracy is our government’s refusal to believe more than a 1000 women (and children) for many decades?

My parents read bedtime stories to us individually (dad to me, mom to my sister) until around when I was 10, and my sister 8. We started reading together as a family after dinner, to help my sister with her reading skills. We did that for at least another 5 years. I cherish those memories together.

Bread & circus time! The bread is full of weevils and the circus staffed with killer clowns. But! We are getting rid of the rating system. And don’t forget, your eyes and ears are liars, liars, liars! Trust us; we are the US Gov! 😉 We would never [redacted] to your [redacted]. And now, this.
