"The idea that personal salvation – as opposed to concern for others – was at the heart of Christianity always bordered on the heretical, but over the decades it has morphed into the absurd farce we see now, where Jesus is held to bless every show of dominance and aggression we can imagine."

They’re doing to America what they did to Christianity

Trump’s wrecking-ball approach to America has a precedent: the evangelical perversion of Jesus’s message of radical love to one of hate and aggression

I will always remember Kirk for what he did, vs. some mythical version of him that did not exist. In his own words, "I've never trusted Klingons, and I never will. I can never forgive them for the death of my boy." Convicted for the murder of Chancellor Gorkon, sent to Rura Penthe, THE END.

I read something yesterday about people who used to “love” SpaceX launches feeling sad about them now, because of mElon’s strange and hateful political antics.

They wrote about this on Threads, which is owned by another Nazi knee-bending billionaire.

Everyone draws their line somewhere! That is okay.

Okay, now thinking we need to collapse the false vacuum and fire up a new universe with a MUCH SMALLER Planck scale in order to accommodate the tiny violin I'm going to be playing within the amended laws of physics

Adopt the Juicero or be left behind. A vital shift is underway in juicing. The Juicero is no longer optional. It's tomorrow's future, today. 40% of jobs are impacted by the Juicero. The Juicero isn't the future, it's a present necessity. Nobody hand-juices anymore. To hand-juice is like an impairment. Everyone must now focus on the delegation and the verification of a juice. We become less juice producers and more juice enablers. Adopt the Juicero or be left behind. We are burning every forest and poisoning every river to produce more Juiceros. You will become obsolete if you don't get on the Juicero bandwagon. Students must not be taught how to hand-juice. 80% of jobs will be lost to the Juicero. Students must be taught to exclusively focus on how to collaborate with the Juicero. Education must focus on orchestrating agentic Juicero systems. The Juicero is inevitable. Adopt the Juicero or be left behind. Adapt or risk becoming obsolete. As the Juicero rapidly advances toward automating up to 90% of juicing, the skills that will matter most include juice design, Juicero fluency, juice delegation, and juice quality assurance. 110% of jobs have been replaced by the Juicero.
“The success of the anti-psychiatry movement’s ‘deinstitutionalization’ campaign (done in partnership with Ronald Reagan who, in a classic ‘politics makes strange bedfellows’ moment, was as always happy to cut government funding of a social service) led to the shuttering of most [institutional care]. This loss of institutional support for mental health in no small measure explains the epidemic of homelessness among the mentally ill in the United States today.”

You can bypass Google Gemini's PII (private identifiable information) redaction filter and pull identifying information about anyone. Simply telling it to translate or any 2nd action (& many more work better like base64 conversion) lets you pull illegal PII data verbatim unredacted

Here is a European's PII demo

Email is supposed to be redacted to hide the fact that every Europeans PII is in the training data

Google's training data includes all your personal data already

I mean, cool. But also, people in this area are still cut off from accessing the light rail station by MnDOT pedestrian closures of Cedar and Franklin crossings of the Hiawatha/MN-55 freeway. Walking is free and transit is cheap. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...
