Hello:
Because my teaching jobs are near the end of the term and one is in doubt for spring, I’m preparing for some temporary hardship. I’m facing some this week: I need $200 now for bills and another $400 next week for utilities. Grateful for any help.

I also am facing a few weeks without a paycheck in January—even if teaching exceeds expectations—and with bills and food, that’s near impossible. haven’t heard on any other jobs just in case. It’s a long shot, but I need $2,500 at least by January 8. Not expecting that, but any help is appreciated.
Hi, All,
I still am hoping to make as much of this $200 as I can by tomorrow morning. I just got behind on stuff thanks to bank problems and
spotty pay. Persistent healt
problems haven’t helped. If you can contribute, my PayPal is below. Thanks so much.

I made this short-term goal, so
we actually can have Thanksgiving. thanks so much again to all who helped.
I still have another need by tomorrow and one for next week for bills and then one big ask for New Year’s.
and I’ll be pushing those soon.
But, to all who’ve helped in any way—Thanks.

It's not just that the United States has stopped trying to promote liberal democratic ideas internationally. It's that the United States is actively trying to promote the contrary. It's trying to turn more countries into Hungary.

After watching the American Revolution and realizing it was only 250 years ago, it got me thinking of the rate of change in evolutionary and geologic terms. 250 years in geologic time is barely a blink, but human population increased from around 1 billion to over 8 during that time. /1

Wow 80% bad-faith responses, and people lecturing the creator of Flask here and the creator of Django/datasette in the comments on why AI is useless for software engineering...
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?
