Greetings from Kyiv.

I opened the morning news.
russians hit a residential building in Kharkiv.
Five people were killed, among them a 1.5‑year‑old girl.

I made a warcoffee.
Damned peacemakers, peacedealers, and other peacenothings.

Oh honey, we’re mocking your *soul*.

ok but haven't we all doodled a naked girl with signature pubes for our sex trafficking friend's 50th birthday while confirming we know he does secret shit every day? come on people
If you wanna be nice to your Nazis, great. Don’t tell me what to do with mine.

First you lose your child to baby vultures, then you get a shit education among Nazis in training
My face when I heard that Liberty University offered full ride scholarships to underage teen moms for *decades* contingent on them being shipped off to a maternity home and giving their newborns up to University-approved couples who happened to be big alumni donors:

Grateful to all who’ve read and supported my AI coverage lately. This is probably the most difficult work I’ve done on the subject to date and I hope it it can be a wake-up call. My profound thanks to Kent Taylor for trusting me with his son Alex’s story.
He Had a Mental Breakdown Talking to ChatGPT. Then Police Killed Him
Alex Taylor believed he had made contact with a conscious entity within OpenAI’s software, and that she'd been murdered. Then everything went wrong.

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS.

How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share.

I’ve got a bill to get it done.
Social Security's insolvency date is now a year earlier. Here's how it could impact your benefits.
Social Security is dipping into its trust fund to pay current retirees, with spending outpacing its revenue from payroll taxes.

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Sound familiar?

if it were really true that “love is what makes a family” then we could dispense with the legal fiction of #adoption and allow human beings to keep control over their identities.
