Anti-abortion activists in the US have created a new chatbot to dissuade people from abortion using misinformation and deception - the two main strategies of "crisis pregnancy centres." This is basically a digital CPC designed to reach many more people.

Chatbot Olive is nothing more than the continuation of the nefarious agenda of the pro-life movement and crisis pregnancy centers

Fascist House Republicans have now passed a bill that subjects immigrant children to invasive bodily searches as well as being able to hold them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
Child abuse, cruelty, fascism in every way. Party of Pedos strikes again.

This is illegal! The Trump administration is instructing managers across the federal government (regardless of employee performance) to ensure that at least 80 percent of staff receive a 3 out of 5 rating, making them easier to terminate and easier to justify in court.

When life is getting this universally depressing, we count small victories. “Biopsy came back benign” is good enough for today. So today you get a hand painted ornament that is NOT on my website…because I painted it for the eldest grandchild.

The president's remarks about the murder of the filmmaker and his wife cast Trump as petty and callous.

Just a Sunday afternoon caution about AI 🙂
If someone mentions using Midjourney - it’s an AI art generator. Like what you like, but go in with your eyes open.

And this is why I do time lapse. Even those of us soothed by the tippety taps would get bored watching it. This piece was many sittings and a total of 30 hours of this. Left hand doing shading. Right doing fill. Switch. Rest the eyes and wrists. Repeat.

Most of the time lapses are of me stippling. 🤷🏽♀️The one one process that is gradual enough you don’t need my ADHD to get bored watching it real time. 😉 This was actually about 7 or 8 minutes of tippy-tapping sounds with my dip pen on the crisp Bristol paper.

My phone needs to update… which means I go through the photos and videos and cull stuff. 😂
So you get to see some of the time lapses of me making art.

That is patently false: not only do immigrants score better than native-born Americans in tests, the mere presence of immigrants improve test scores for all students, when factoring in white flight

There's no evidence Trump has ever driven a damn car.
He has never mowed a lawn.
He has never shoveled a walk.
He has never changed a lightbulb.
He has never washed dishes.
He has said he never ever changed a diaper and he has four children.

something you have to understand about Trump & his weird comments about the economy is that the dude hasn't paid for anything like a normal person in decades - never pumps gas, never buys groceries - so he's completely & utterly out of touch with what life is like for most of us
