Indeed.
EVERY company and department of Microsoft must do a certain amount of “AI” and report that “AI” is being done in order to justify the tens of billions of dollars Microsoft has lit on fire.

Who knows if the “AI” quota will be around when the bubble bursts.

Halo Studios art director Glenn Israel (Halo 3 ODST, Infinite): "No illusion of security nor promise of wealth or fame or power is worth trading away your health, your dignity, your ethics or values - and no one can force you to. Stay strong, take evidence when necessary, and find where you belong."

As a former library worker:

- Your library can get u free audiobooks through the Libby App. FUCK AUDIBLE ALL MY HOMIES HATE AUDIBLE.
- You can also get language learning apps like Mango for free!
- Covid tests? Masks? Narcan? FREE? Check your library!
- Need a power tool? LIBRARY.

I’m a public librarian in a degenerating democracy, and I am pleading: Care about your library. Use it. See what programs and events it offers. And pay attention to its governing body. See who the trustees are. Consider running yourself. Libraries will need all the community support they can get. 📚

While we’re talking #MLP. If I could head a fan animation, I wanted to do a short without any dialogue about Spike stopping the Diamond Dogs from pulling a gem heist on the Friendship Express to Robert W. Smith’s “The Great Locomotive Chase” because I played that song in band class.

setting aside the fact that they just don’t know what jokes are, this gives a big insight into the mind of white nationalists. they are deeply paranoid about the idea of being percieved as anything other than Epic Stoics

The cruelty is the point.

CDFIs help low-income and rural communities get access to capital to start small businesses – a broadly bipartisan priority.

This administration wants to make it impossible for low- and middle-income Americans to get ahead.
