When people learn with ChatGPT instead of following their own searches, they end up knowing less, caring less, and producing worse advice, even when the facts are the same.

Friction is an essential ingredient for learning! Convenience makes us shallow.

Again, I’ve tried to tell everyone.

As we can see from Disney and Target.

We HAVE THE POWER!

We just need the discipline and the morals to use it.

interesting that Dem voters are ~70% of the US economy....

....yet the majority of BILLIONAIRES are Trump backers

Dem voters need to realize that their spending is what maintains billionaires

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.

Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms.

Collective boycott.

Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

I need you to understand that if you heard a song you liked in the 80s, you couldn’t Shazam it. You couldn’t Google the lyrics. You had to sing it to the guy at Tower Records.

Protesters are flooding DC streets to demand two things: that the National Guard be recalled and that the Epstein files be released.

We stand with you, DC!

Another ICE "assault" case unravels. Border Patrol and ICE are arresting US citizens and then after they find out that they are US citizens, they are charging them with "assault" to justify their actions. This is clearly DHS policy at this point. We've seen it repeatedly now.

Elon Musk has basically reprogrammed Grok to be a transphobic Nazi.

Deadnames trans people and says Jewish people are in control of Hollywood.

I believe this is the first AI system to be reprogrammed this way.

Trans people every right to be furious with the ongoing silence of those who aren't speaking up, and it's insane to me that there are non-trans people who want a pass on this.

You don't get a pass. Either you care about us, or you don't.

There are only three political positions in America today

1) I like the fascism

2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc)

3) I oppose the fascism

The rest is details

OK, this is like the second or third time in a week I’ve heard people make fun of Old Navy as “straight culture” and I don’t get it because IME Old Navy is like Soft Butch Central???

It was literally a plot point in a queer romance novel I narrated recently!

The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were particularly focused on masked gunmen who violated the civil rights of Black people. We should remember this history when masked law enforcement ofcrs are deployed in our communities.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
