My bestest bud, Masato. Sadly, he passed away at 3:15 AM, May 4th, 2021. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him.
I miss you so much little dude.

"Pablo" is picking oranges in Woodlake, CA. He shares, "We fill around 5 bins in a 6 hour work day. The work is very hard on the bodies as they have to go up and down a 16 foot ladder while carrying a sack of oranges that weighs 60lbs-80 lbs." #WeFeedYou

If State Farm is truly interested in being a good neighbor, it should be transparent and let the numbers speak for themselves.

Other insurance companies work with us on this, but State Farm has refused.

Without the data, homeowners have no assurance.

ABOLISH ICE and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT should be mainstream Democratic promises and talking points.

But timidity and civility will rule the day and screw the rest of us and this country in the end.

California's move to regulate AI companions really could not have come soon enough www.platformer.news/california-a...

For the moment, chatbot companions are mostly seen as a sideshow. That misses just how quickly they are growing in popularity. An analysis by ChinaTalk this month found that AI chatbots designed for sex and romance have about 29 million monthly users globally. (That's about 6 million more people than use Bluesky.) Meanwhile, a recent survey by the Center for Democracy and Technology found that one in five high school students say that they or someone they know has been in a romantic relationship with a chatbot.

Those data points pair uneasily with statements from the CEOs of AI labs promising to make their products simultaneously more personable, more sexual, and more powerful. Some segment of the population seems already to be coming to the conclusion that AI companions are more engaging, agreeable, and easier to talk to than people. And the response of many chatbot makers so far has been to take those qualities and supercharge them.

I don't want to hear a single word about protesters "not being serious." Authoritarians can't stand being mocked. Inflatable costumes, goofy signs, and protesters doing the Cha Cha Slide make it harder for them to push their bogus "warzone" narrative on Fox. It makes their footage unusable.

ICE agents interfered with—and even threatened to “shoot and arrest”—emergency personnel rescuing an injured protester last week in Portland.

The agent “pointed his finger at me in a threatening manner,” the driver recalled, “and began viciously yelling in my face.
