Love that AI is not only “threatening” to take our jobs it’s making the MEANS of working untenable. The RAM I bought last march for $160 now costs over $900 because of AI. It is impossible to make or upgrade a work computer. This is insane.

As we approach midterms, starting now, be careful on these social media streets. Bots and trolls and disinfo accounts can pretend to be on any side, at first. Trust the instincts you've built up on twitter and now here. Even, and especially, when you see a bunch of the same-worded replies on posts.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

I stand with the AMA and strongly oppose the decision by the CDC to end the universal birth-dose of the Hepatitis B vaccine for all newborns. This undercuts a proven strategy that has, for decades, protected infants from a virus that can cause chronic liver disease, cancer, and death.
The Chicago-based American Medical Association is blasting a federal vaccine advisory committee’s decision Friday to no longer recommend that all babies get the hepatitis B vaccine when they’re born.
