seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

And we’re talking TERRIBLE AI—I’ve done 4 modules and in the last one they didn’t even bother to change the voices of the man and woman in the module, they used the man’s voice for everything, LOL. Lips are not syncing with words. Just a mess. I laughed all the way through them.

So this happened at my company this week:

The Powers That Be decided that we all needed (17 modules!) of cyber-security training to help recognize fraudulent/scamm-y things created with AI that may be sent to us, a whole “threat of AI,” training course.

All 17 modules were created…with AI. 🙄

Found this in a store here last weekend, which is what spurred the gumbo-makin’.

Also, scrape up all of those glorious brown bits from the pan and toss those into your gumbo, too.

Don’t trust anybody who doesn’t brown/caramelize that beautiful andouille before putting it into the pot—adds a depth a flavor that’s completely NOM.

Rough day, rough week.

Glass of wine at my side, starting my chicken and sausage gumbo, going to make a batch of chocolate chip cookies, too, and then a bonfire later tonight. Washing this week away. 🍜🍪🍷

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

“White ignorance doesn’t persist because there’s a lack of information—it persists because there’s a refusal to engage with it.”

Excellent read.

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion

Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

Dolly Parton has been a good person all her life. She does so many kind things for people. Compare that to someone like JK Rowling who wakes up every day and decides to be an absolute asshole.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.
