I’m grateful for all the folks out there loving their pets, and that they share their pics and love of their pets with the rest of us.
Humanity’s ability to love animals as much we do is a thing I find hope in.

I’m grateful for all the people doing jobs that get shit on, but are making people’s lives and our communities better. Teachers, nurses, librarians, sanitation workers, environmental impact folks, cooks, servers, bartenders… it’s a long ass list.

I’m also grateful for everyone who puts thought and effort to making their communities a little better, by demonstrating they believe that caring about each other is an investment in a better world.

Gotta say, I really love how many videos I’m seeing of people (especially white people) excoriating ICE agents. Following them around, cursing them out, telling them the Hague is waiting and so on. Not sure this would have been so quickly adopted not that long ago.

I’m going to guess it’s a matter of time before they start making the argument that we don’t hold gun manufacturers responsible for how their product is used or car manufacturers etc.

The CEO of ChatGPT is blaming a teen’s suicide on his failure to follow the terms of service:
Adam Raine, 16, told ChatGPT he was suicidal and the AI bot told him his feelings were valid and even provided suggestions and detailed instructions.

Bee is excellent, a member of the horror family, a great reviewer and above all a fellow human being. If you can help keep them all housed please do, if you can't contribute right now then a signal boost is brilliant.
