Coming undone in real time. Uh, sir…you appointed Jerome Powell. Shall I explain it to you like you’re five?

Over on LinkedIn (the most toxic BS social media platform IMHO) it’s business as usual. Dudes talking about follower counts, impressions, engagement, etc. and then trying to get people to download an e-book so they can do the same.
Who cares, dude?

Just a reminder that no matter what is going on in the world and how heavy it may seem sometimes, we still have beautiful sunsets like this one over the Choctawhatchee Bay.

It’s hard to be on vacation this week with everything going on. I booked this trip back in January to visit my son and his fiancé in Florida.
Here is the Gulf of Mexico at sunset last night. (I refuse to call it by its “new name” despite the fact that there is merch everywhere here touting it).

This made me so angry yesterday (as if I’m not already outraged by everything this administration does). Electric Literature’s grant was terminated because their work does not “reflect the nation’s rich artistic heritage and creativity as prioritized by the President.” Read that last part out loud:

This made me so angry yesterday (as if I’m not already outraged by everything they do). I feel like this administration is taking everything away that brings joy to people. Defunding libraries and museums, trying to erase culture, the arts, and education. I saw Electric Literature’s statement:

What a dumbass. I looked it up to be sure but a direct correlation is positive and an inverse correlation is negative, so what he is saying is there is a positive negative correlation? Huh? This is the AI result but I checked the sources. RFK Jr. needs fact checked every time he opens his trap

It’s not really about whether or not he is a gang member. It’s about due process. If I say you are a gang member and you say you’re not, but you are arrested anyway and shipped to foreign prison, how would you defend yourself without due process? This is a slippery slope. Do you see the issue?

Officially deactivated my account on X today. I haven’t been on that platform for so long, I had to reset my password. I’d rather be where the sky is blue.

I saw this the other day and I thought, yes. Stop telling me I am too much, overreacting, being over dramatic.

You don’t need “the best technical minds” to figure out how someone got added to a group chat.
This was a “fat-fingered” mistake as this article states and they need to own up to their own negligence. It’s not so much that Goldberg was added, it’s that no one noticed that is the issue here.

This is a must read! One of the best explanations I’ve read so far about what is going on in the US right now. This is why so many people are terrified by Elon’s unfettered access to the federal government.

This is the unofficial list of words that the Trump Administration has “banned” from official government websites and publications. (There are likely more words on this list).

This is what is going to push me over the edge in my own radicalization. Permanently expelled? I guess I’ll be fired then too, because I will most likely be joining them.

I asked AI to make an avatar for me. I think it did a pretty good job. I wanted floral wallpaper as a backdrop because I had floral wallpaper in my room as a teenager.
