I’m writing this #1001ideas series as a way to keep me sane and maybe come up with ways to help. It’s mostly preparing yourself stuff right now. Will be more activism as we go. Please add your own ideas to the hashtag. Or give me subjects, worries and questions to think about.

Seeing a lot of "No Kings" protests groups using AI images lately

You aren't resisting fascism by using their tools

Be better than that

Six years ago, Uganda announced a bill to legalize murdering gay people. The National Christian Organization paid a preacher to go to Uganda and help their lawmakers with the bill. Chick-fil-A funds The National Christian Org.

If you eat at Chick-fil-A, this is what your money goes to.

Large blue tabby Maine Coon cat is all squinched up to fit in a box suited to a normal sized cat. Her big giant head hangs out, eyes squeezed shut in satisfaction.

"Magda Goebbels made a great strudel"
ID: A post on Twitter by @NickyFrank30 reading:

My grandfather used to say "and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel" and I never knew what it meant until after he died my grandmother explained some magazine did a fluff interview with Magda Goebbels a few years before WW2 that included her strudel recipe and my grandfather, who hated the Nazis with the passion of 10,000 suns, thought it was an example of the media sanitizing evil people and would use the phrase when someone asked him to overlook a bad person doing bad things and focus on the good.

The last No Kings in Chicago was like 90 percent older female protest veterans who've been derided as normie lib wine moms for the past decade so maybe we could start nagging, like, "woodworking dads" or find a way to condescend to 30-year-old men for a goddamn change.

“These findings follow previous research which concluded that the more people learn about how AI works, the less they trust it. The opposite was also true — AI’s biggest fanboys tended to be those who understood the least about the tech.”
The More Scientists Work With AI, the Less They Trust It
A preliminary report shows that researchers' confidence in AI software dropped off a cliff over the last year.

“One former senior Trump administration official from the first term tells Zeteo that…when Trump was publicly dangling the idea of attacking Iranian cultural sites…the president indeed… asked…aides what they thought of striking the specific targets offered up by the likes of Hegseth &…Sean Hannity.”

For my piece today at @zeteo.com i wanted to truly underscore how punishingly stupid american fascism is now. Like, my original proposed headline for this was:

Our Democracy Is Imperiled Because One Old Man Won’t Stop ‘Yelling’ At His TV. zeteo.com/p/trump-addi...
Trump’s Addiction to Watching Fox Is Killing American Democracy
Our country is falling apart because one old man, Trump advisers and former administration officials say, won’t stop ‘yelling’ at his TV.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

It was highly anticipated, which is why it had a big opening. And then there was a curiosity factor about just how bad it could be kept it up for a while. But the tie-in toys and things were a complete dud.

Somewhere on YouTube there’s a recording of a concert - I think it was Cisco Huston, but it could have been someone else from the era, telling stories about Joe Hill and how he came to write it.

Chorus

You will eat bye and bye

In that beautiful land above the sky

Work and pray, live on hay

There’ll be pie in the sky when you die.
(That’s a lie!)

It was called “The Preacher and The Slave” better known as “Pie In The Sky.” Goes like this:

Long haired preachers come out every night

They will tell you what’s wrong and what’s right

But when asked about something to eat

They will answer in voices so sweet—

They were/are a religion, not a general charity. In the early day, they didn’t do any charity, just recruiting souls. They used to help the bosses harass strikers by drowning out speakers with loud singing. Joe Hill got sick of it and wrote new words to one of their hymns. 1/3

They are avoiding Annie Hall and settling on the most immediate comedy as a substitute.

People think that furloughing/shortchanging police and military personnel makes them disloyal, but in reality it makes them demand bribes from civilians during spurious enforcement actions

Fetterman’s office doesn’t accept voicemails outside office hours and his district offices are all closed during the shutdown so maybe the people of Pennsylvania just need to become Fox News hosts to actually be able to talk to him…

Maria Bartiromo tries to reassure Fetterman: "You know, senator, what you just said, it's really shamefully on your colleagues. You feeling isolated -- that is absolutely outrageous. You are a breath of fresh air. I know our viewers are grateful."
