my grandmother just died, we spent more money than we have trying to take care of her too and for a number of years the only way my family has survived is pooling our resources.

please help.

if you can donate it would be much appreciated, if not if you can share this maybe someone else might.

there are some differences in Green parties from country to country, but the British Green party is overtaking the Labor party or their version of the Democrats. if it can happen in England then maybe it's not so unrealistic in America? though then again the Dems and GOP do use lots of dirty tricks.

More evidence that the #climate emergency affects *everything* - it should be front & centre of ALL government decisions. As well as serious adaptation (petition here petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7300…) Govt must urgently stop making things worse eg greenlighting high carbon airport expansion

UK must prepare buildings for 2C rise in global temperature, government told

Climate advisers warn that current plans to protect against extreme weather are inadequate

Everybody is losing copious amounts of money on AI. But will there be any winners?

The Economics of Running an AI Company Are Disastrous

Even the biggest players in AI are losing billions — "brutal" economics that highlight growing concerns of an enormous AI bubble.

Day 15: CAVE 🦇🙂

#SuperBatober #Inktober #inktober2025

SUPERBATOBER 15: CAVE -- Batgirl and Supergirl are in the Batcave! Along with Batman who is staring at his large computer screen with the words: "SMILE, BATMAN. STOP BEING SO GRUMPY." Batman is convinced this is Joker's doing. Supergirl is about to confess something else, at the franticness of Batgirl.

Who do YOU, my dear reader of this ALT tag, think is the culprit? Tune in next week! Same Bat channel. Same Bat website.

I canceled Office365 when they really started shoving AI into everything and it finally ran out a few weeks ago. Now Microsoft is giving my computer a hard reset and sending me to a "setup" screen that is basically just them begging my to subscribe to something, anything.

Best Linux ad ever.

The only way to "fight back" at this point is revolution. The Democrat Party isn't coming to save us. If they wanted us all to have healthcare they'd provide a single-payer system that covers everyone for everything from cradle to grave. They won't do that. Blue NY won't even pass the NY Health Act.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @aoc.bsky.social · 1d

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

Trump's own Department of Agriculture is openly admitting that his mass deportation agenda is hurting American farmers & raising food prices.
