Trust no statement from DHS or ICE without confirmation from someone known to be honest. They lie as naturally as they breathe, as naturally as der Trumpenführer.

Hi I'm a on oncoming vehicle drifting into your lane.

I was able to get over enough to make it a glancing blow rather than a head-on, but they hit me right on the driver front wheel and ripped the entire assembly off, so I lost control and rolled several times down a steep embankment.

I was walking down the sidewalk when I heard a commotion behind me, it was Mohammed Ali riding by in a SUV and waving to folks.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

"And I never say no"

We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.

We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

Perhaps my longest pet peeve: my mom's lack of utensil hygeine wrt holiday leftovers.

The same knife puts mayo on the bread for her turkey sandwich, and takes cuts of cranberry sauce. Leaving white slime on it. Not a fan.

I’ve started and deleted this rant many times tonight, but: Investor Owned Utilities should not be allowed to exist.

Especially ones that have killed customers repeatedly, and only maintain infrastructure because they’ve lost lawsuits.

The existence of IOU’s is another failing of society.
