THIS. YES.

My kid just WhatsApped from his German exchange trip. They had to call an ambulance for him.

He has food poisoning, was very pale and nauseous. He was dehydrated and his blood pressure was dropping.

He's fine now but I wanted to share this because it has the most Western Europe Is a Civilized Place ending ever.

The paramedics came to the mall, took him into the ambulance, gave him an IV, checked him out, stayed with him until he felt better, then told him "No charge. Enjoy your trip to Germany." And if that wasn't enough, when they realized the group had had to move onto the train station without him, they gave him a ride over there to catch up with them.

I'm so ground down by the predatory realities of America in general in 2025 that this just about blew my fucking mind.

Security researchers who have spent months trying to call Coinbase’s attention to serious issues at the company are disputing Coinbase’s claims about the timing of the breach. “Threat actors had ongoing access via multiple insiders over a prolonged period of time.”

Mark Zuckerberg wants you to use AI as friends.

When you invest your time with AI instead of creating genuine bonds with real people, you become completely isolated without even noticing it.

This all serves capitalism and authoritarian regimes.

When you are isolated, you can't find humans to help you financially (AI won't).

When you are isolated, you can't find humans to rise up with you against abuse (AI won't).

You become completely alone (with AI friends), and completely vulnerable to manipulation and exploitation by the system implemented by those who control your AI "friends".

It seems obvious, I know. But how is Mark Zuckerberg able to market this insane idea at all then?

While Trump hosts his birthday parade in DC, we’re taking to the streets everywhere else on June 14 with nationwide protests. Find a No Kings Day event near you: https://www.nokings.org/?SQF_SOURCE=indivisible
No Kings

On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.

Love the cross stitch work and also the felt collage. Is it a mat for the table? 😀

@linguistgoneforeign thank you, and yes, it’s a table runner that doesn’t run the whole length of the table 😆
@inarticulatequilter Amazing and beautiful and yes!

Gal: "i assure you, sir - he certainly does!"

@inarticulatequilter Perfection! I want this. Too bad my hands won't let me do stitch work anymore.
@inarticulatequilter
