He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

New video Monday, Subverting Romance Doesn't Always Work (and that's okay)

I know materialists has a lot to answer for, but I still overall had a good experience with it, as well as criticisms. Sometimes art fails us and that’s ok

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

either the YT algorithm really is screwed, or this video was poorly packaged, but I think it's very good so check it out if you haven't seen it yet.

terrible things are happening outside. poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. families are torn apart. men, women, and children are separated. children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.

But I miss when cable tv had shows and channels with kid and adult content. Nowadays it feels like something like Steve Irwin or other shows on animal planet would never be on a “kids” profile on Disney or HBO or something bc nature shows and docs are for “adults”

Cheyenne Lin @cheyennelin.bsky.social · 8d

I remember as a kid loving finding out about animal planet and Steve Irwin from cable. I don’t think kids get that nowadays with curated series on streaming run by an algorithm but at least there’s still nature docs on National Geographic.

Julia Carrie Wong @joolia.bsky.social · 10d

Some parents are letting their kids talk to ChatGPT in the guise of characters. Some are using it to tell bedtime stories or create coloring books.

"My son thinks ChatGPT is the coolest train loving person in the world. The bar is set so high now I am never going to be able to compete with that.”

‘My son genuinely believed it was real’: Parents are letting little kids play with AI. Are they wrong?

Some believe AI can spark their child’s imagination through personalized stories and generative images. Scientists are wary of its affect on creativity
