Trying to block out the atrocities happening in this country. Not because I don't care, but I care too much and it is making me sick, especially the desecration of the White House. (Someone call an exorcist!)We shouldn't forget there is still beauty.

NO KINGS! Millions of us marched today. If you weren't there with us, be there next time. The German people could have stopped Hitler, but they did not. What finally did? A world war and millions dead. Fascism moves fast. No one can stop it but we the people.

So glad that two Colorado airports--Denver and Colorado Springs--refused to air the Kristi (plastic lady) Noem's propaganda message blaming Democrats for the shutdown. Also proving she cannot add. The GOP controls Congress and is responsible for the shutdown.

If the Anthropic copyright lawsuit teaches us anything, in addition to the enormous danger of grand theft A.I., is that it behooves writers to actually copyright their work, or if traditionally published, is registered with the U.S. copyright office.
