I like that Jennifer Whitmore TD kicks ass so nicely. She [like me] is against fox-hunting & is a conservationist. Her attacker, despite his ‘save the foxes’, is pro-hunting. I was brought up to believe torturing animals is both wrong, & non-Christian.

Just Seventeen if You Know What I Mean

Sexy Megyn says the piggies who did it in the road with teens aren't really pedophiles and Mean Mr. Trump was only a daytripper on Epstein's magical mystery tour. Like a story from a paperback writer but the fools on the hill will believe it.

Reminder:

Being poor does not make you immoral.

Missing teeth, illiteracy, drug use, does not make you immoral.

Nuerodivergence & mental health issues do not make you immoral.

Being a sexist, racist, violent fascist does! Hope this helps with your messaging about current events!

Another species no longer on the global Endangered list:
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).

A few decades after a Star Trek movie where the central conflict was the total extinction of the humpback, their numbers are rising fast enough to put them at "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List.

Alt: Scotty from Star Trek Original Series (played by Jimmy Doohan) says there be whales here in a Klingon vessel's cargo hold.

Identifying flaws in GenAI unfortunately offers a pretext for claims that perfecting the product is just a matter of time & money. So pointing to chatbots’ role in,say, suicides can only go so far if we don’t also identify the systemic, irresolvable lack of Gen AI’s human commitment bc math has none

"A lot of us are going to come under direct attack, and a lot of us are going to resist by building solidarity and sanctuary": the solidarity with those under attack has been one of the most beautiful responses to the consequences of the 2024 election.

Has New York Democratic Party chairman Jay Jacobs resigned over Mamdani yet? I hope he hasn't, so that he can instead resign over *improving Republican margins over Trump 2024 in an anti-Republican wave election*. Trump won Nassau by just 4%—now look at this bloodbath

Today, OpenAI’s CFO said the US government should guarantee the debt the company takes on to finance its infrastructure build.

Not a sign of a sustainable business model that can stand on its own.

NEW: Mississippi Democrats broke the Republican Party's supermajority in the state Senate tonight for the first time since 2011.

It came as Democrats flipped 2 Senate seats and 1 House seat.

“Mississippi just broke the supermajority—and the people have taken back their power,” the party says.

You know what's spooky? 12% of the population losing food access.

If you're in a state where your rep is holding food access hostage, bother the hell out of them and boo them VERY loudly.
