Do not allow their efforts in life to extinguish in death.

America's attention is now more fully drawn to matters of:
--Lost Freedoms
--Police Brutality
--Gun Violence
--Cruelty to Immigrants
--Trump and Miller's hypnotic vitriol

Let not their sacrifices have been in vain.

You see, friends and neighbors, we have a government and gun problem. It has not been good under ANY administration. Keep sucking that Blue crackpipe--they don't care either. It's all money, crime, grift.

We need a 100% reset. Get money and self-interest out of politics. Fix our cities and.....

Bravo! Though mentally unbalanced, Trump quite obviously never intended invasion. Americans are too easily distracted. This is to steer Europe's focus to a strategic area.

...disturbance of church must be equally alarmed by January 6. Until American leaders and media are consistent in adherence to standards, it is difficult to take seriously their juvenile protests.

My observation is that American politics remains in its infancy. Both sides are unrealistically rigid. The killing of the young woman by ICE and the storming of the church are simply both egregious. Those disturbed by ICE shooting ought be as disturbed by Ashely Babbit killing. Those upset by...

Too many American progressive men have learned to speak the language of advancement and inclusion, yet continue to act from a position of privilege and persist in speaking down to women and minorities.

My new opinion is that genAI/LLMs should be pulled from the general public. Access can be granted through higher education research (science/medical). It makes sense because of the large data models they handle and the chance AI can assist with researches like cancer

😷The K variant flu, also known as H3N2 subclade K, is a mutated strain of the influenza virus that has been linked to a significant increase in flu cases this season. Spreading rapidly, may evade some immunity provided by the current flu vaccine.

Maybe I started getting political as a kid when I asked a lot of questions.

And the answer was always: "You have oppositional defiance disorder and go take your Ritalin."

"You don't even have to read between the lines here. The new CBS News anchorman says it all right up front. He leans into the MAGA fiction that the press has willingly ignored stories, listing Hunter Biden's laptop, Russiagate & Hillary's emails. Not a word about plans to report on on inflation, high prices, health care premiums, DHS secret police or Trump's ballroom. Yes, CBS is MAGA now." - Jennifer Schulze

What I always hear: β€œWe can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: β€œWe can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

Took the toddler to Newcastle and showed her the Earl Grey statue but oddly she wasn’t interested in hearing about the 1832 Reform Act. Nor in hearing about why the 1867 and 1884 Reform Acts were arguably more consequential. Tough audience

We all stand in firm agreement that America under Trump is a problem for the US and the world.

This is a useful platform for that variety of dialog.

However, this platform will not endure on anti-Trump commentary alone. Accounts like the one below provide a bit of color.

Can you take refuge in the absurd? There is much gravity in the world--I have much to say on certain subjects--but we are allowed moments to compose ourselves.
