Orlando still has strong feelings about the Pulse shooting, and I hope that Orlando juries will follow DC and Chicago juries' examples.
Today I drove past a random anti Trump demonstration on US19. On a Monday afternoon. Florida isn't red; it's vote suppressed. And it's bubbling.

"The suspects...were seen in a video aggressively chalking the crosswalk."

This is a corollary of "fascism and domestic abuse are the same thing at different scales" that I'm going to need to think about some more.
My grandmother (degrees etc) pinpointed a REAL problem for Dems: In an abusive addict society, people who are abused often want to Identify WITH the abusive parent (Gov) in order to be on the "winning", ie non-abused side. It's a model of abuse, not real winning. We need to account for this

Meet the AI workers who tell their friends and family to stay away from AI

I was the preferred tech support for both my mom and mother-in-law, despite my brother and spouse being far more technically skilled, because I said things like "click the lower left hand corner" instead of "open the start menu."
Technology should make our lives easier, not harder.

I am increasingly of the opinion that people who change menus and look and feel of computer software just so that you know it's a new version should be personally forced to play tech support to my mother for five months.

If I could give any advice to young writers and artists in the US, it would be to leave the country. Failing that, marry someone with a steady income and good health insurance.

What this reveals is that for most people in charge right now “AI” is less useful as a technology than as a piece of language to shift a conversation in whatever direction they need it to go. In one minute it will propel a new economy; in another it’s the reason for a recession.
