Reminds me of our yrs at the #maine Waldorf school-they didn’t want to read 2mom stories to the kindergarten class because then they’d have to have bigger conversations (about sex) etc 💀never mind they had plenty of kids w/ 2 moms at the school. HAD- there was a mass exodus over the next few yrs

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.

"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

I am still playing with this DIY tile idea- I called color me mine and they don’t offer tiles (Whut?!)

So I tried Portland Pottery, and they offer bisque tiles I could paint and they would fire.

maybe I’m going to paint some tiles for my pantry

The Ozempic empidemic breaks my heart… it’s like Ai- taking away the uniqueness of what makes us human- our beautiful diversity

I get it if you need it for health reasons but the casual consumption of it to loose 20-30 lbs is scary

And don’t we need a little cushion as we get older ?

What privacy? Meta's smart glasses are filming unwitting naked people Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses are a privacy nightmare, with footage of naked people, sensitive information, and violent acts captured and seen by Meta's AI and an army of employees.

Buried lede: Meta sends all your nudes to Kenya where humans annotate it and feed it to AI

A screenshot of Rachel Dratch from SNL. She's a white woman with short dark hair and blue eyes, and she's making an awkward expression that implies, "Sorry I have to tell you this and ruin your good time. But also I'm kind of not sorry about it." I've added a subtitle that reads, "That's AI."

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

The other quandary is that I have no idea what design/ motif I would paint on the tile

I need tile for our pantry backsplash and in true fashion my mother suggested I paint my own

And yes that’s a lovely idea but that would really delay things

Why do they always emphasize hand hygiene if clean air is so important?

Because the air is their responsibility, and your hands are yours.

They're going to lie about birth control just as they did with trans people.

I do not have the time or interest to hunt down these new perimenopausal chin hairs

What do you mean I have a 3” long clear hair just chilling on my chin?

Screw AI- invent a robot that scans your face and takes care of this crap

“People are mad at how much energy and water our digital pollution machines use, but did you ever think about how much energy and water YOU use?” is an actual argument Sam Altman is making.

My high schooler watched the bad bunny half time show in her Spanish class today and her teacher (who is Spanish) broke it all down for them and explained to the class all the significant symbolism including who “that old guy” (Ricky Martin) is
