As of today I’ve removed Twitter from my phone and locked my account.
Elon going all in on Generative AI, including enabling Grok to generate deepfakes OF MINORS is unconscionable.
This year we ALL need to be louder than ever about this: GenAI is largely unethical and needs to be regulated.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

While Amazon is investing billions of dollars to expand AI, independent bookstores are hosting community events, personally recommending books to readers, and providing a space that is safe and welcoming during a time when we need them most.
Never underestimate the power of a local bookstore.

You CAN’T. That only applies to artists who don’t get anything from their work. Rowling makes millions and uses it to strip our rights away.
For the love of God I’m begging people to stop prioritizing comfort over human rights!!!!

It's all about feeding America and taking care of people until the folks who had the struggle to scrape change to eat and get by are now being mocked by uppercrust white communities for losing their SNAPS. Unbelievably ghoulish
I despise the timeline I'm in human compassion is dying out fast.

Note: while not unprecedented, it’s actually pretty rare for a sitting Catholic bishop to participate in a demonstration. It’s just not generally what Catholic bishops do.
Thus: Getting the hierarchy involved in this protest outside an ICE facility is no small thing.

Chicago Auxiliary Bishop José María Garcia-Maldonado at ICE detention facility: “Being here is an act of holiness…soon we will seek access to the facility to bring the Eucharist to our brothers and sisters; if they say no again, we will keep praying.”

Basically, normalizing themselves
When I grew up, “being woke” used to be called “being a decent human being.”
MAGA Nazis are waging a propaganda war against empathy and basic human decency, to normalize being a selfish, hateful asshole.

If you remember only one thing today, remember to breathe. Breathing is super important.
If you remember two things, remember that empires never last. The Sumerian empire fell. So did the Persian Empire, the Roman Empire and the British Empire. Whatever the tyrant does, it won't last.
And breathe.
