Apologies for reduced interaction lately - due to ill health.

In life, possessions are not what is important. Friendships and family are. Shared experiences are. Helping others achieve their potential. Making the world a better place for everyone. Stop voting for Politicians who only care about 'stuff' like gold wallpaper.

(Who I am isn't important - I'm not here to promote myself)

Life is an education, and I hope to learn from many of the wonderful people here.

I'm confused. Does this mean a trans person can't go in a female only toilet, or a male only toilet? So where? How many places have multi-sex spaces?

In his Language of the Third Reich, Victor Klemperer described Nazism as a linguistic barrage. A way of warping minds and subverting democratic values through rhetorical excess.

Klemperer knew what this language harbored:

“What happens if the cultivated language is made up of poisonous elements or has been made the bearer of poisons? Words can be like tiny doses of arsenic; they are swallowed unnoticed, appear to have no effect, and then after a little time, the toxic reaction sets in.”

Surely that would cost far less than the actions he is currently embarked on in an attempt to kill half the people of the US?

Are any of these Corperate news outlets going to speak to any of us who were in the field for Bob Vylan or just do their trademark dehumanisation and ignorance of people like you and me?

Are we are all 'Terrorists' now Daily Mail?
Are we all Hamas now, Zionists?

A question for folks out there who read fiction. I am an indie author with a new book. I do not use AI in my writing. Should I put a note or sticker on the cover which says something like "This story is entirely human generated" or "no AI was used in the making of this book." Would readers be interested / reassured by knowing it is all human-made? My covers are also designed using photos I took myself.

Edit: Please boost for reach.

There are no good billionaires.
There are no good ICE agents.
There is no such thing as a welfare cut without casualties.
There is no such thing as a progressive Israel.

🤦

I wish Asimov's first law of robotics applied to human beings

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

(I'm less happy with the second law)

Indeed. I wouldn't even know who Bobby Vylan or Kneecap are if they'd just kept quiet.

Congressional Rs are poised🚨to reverse course on US energy policy by wiping out 100s of $Bs in incentives for solar & wind projects -& for consumers seeking to purchase everything from energy-saving appliances to EVs.

“They’re proposing an outright massacre with punishing new taxes on these industries,” -Sen Wyden. He said Rs added what amounts to a “death sentence” for green energy, with provisions added before voting was expected to start in the Senate.

I often check videos of flood & tornado damage on youtube. Comments show a large # of people are unwarnable, for lack of a better term. Poor development planning & climate change don't exist for them, it's all Goddidit.

@csgraves @samiamsam @KimPerales I'm gradually reaching that point. Sometimes I care more about the environmental impacts of climate change than what happens to people.

@Nazani @samiamsam @KimPerales Same, but I am really trying to not let my anger guide me fully, nor allow me to dehumanize people. I want to see better for all people, including the non human people like our feathered, finned, and crawling relatives, our tree and water relatives.

This earth is beautiful and her people diverse and amazing!

Let us again be people of earth and not interchangeable economic units.

"The Sen GOP: discussed (compromise) on phasing out IRA wind/solar credits. But Alex Epstein has helped block a deal, pushing conservatives to hold out for more. Sen Curtis called his approach "a dagger in the heart" & not practical."
-S Siegel

"Rs can’t let Epstein force us into an energy shortage -calls🚨environmentalism an “anti-human, primitive-religious attempt to commit mass genocide,” compares energy workers he wants to fire to “fentanyl dealers” & a white supremacist."
