Thou shalt not make AI videos of dead people saying what you want. You wouldn’t dig them up and use their skull as a puppet, would you?

The people doing these things must be shamed into oblivion.

My doctor doesn’t give them at the clinic I go to. I found a county clinic I’m scheduled for but it was pushed way out. Now I’m sick. Thanks a lot, asshole.

#RFKJr can eat a bag of dicks (and he probably would). I had planned on getting my #Covid vaccine weeks ago but the pharmacy wouldn’t give it to me because I’m under 65 and healthy (well, not at the moment on the health part). It was under his direction that the CDC not recommend it for me. (Cont.)

At the #filmmaker brunch in #MillValley and relieved to see how low-key it is (whew, I’m ironically not a big fan of crowds and/or calling a lot of attention to myself). Currently chilling on a big outdoor couch.

The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division sued six states—California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania—for failing to hand over their full, unredacted voter registration lists.

The new legal actions signify a ramping up of the Trump administration’s voter-suppression agenda.
