The thing is Trump does have a really strong voice.

But we also have a voice.

My voice alone isn’t strong.

But there are MILLIONS of us that will stand up to his nonsensical and cruel orders and policies.

He is no king.

He has no majesty.

He will not overcome us.

Are there laws that prevent AIs from presenting as non-AIs?

We should be able to tell/be warned/be informed that content is AI.

Once we had this ideal that we could craft laws that would protect us from tyrants and fools.

But somehow that ideal has been perverted into a protection of the biggest fool and tyrant.

One thing I actually love about my social media is that it’s focused on cool stuff like not being a dick to other humans, fascinating science stuff, beautiful music, fun sports, and trump can go fuck himself because he’s a fascist piece of shit.

It’s a Watergate-level crime every damn day in this administration, and Congress is appallingly unwilling to exercise its Article I obligations to check executive branch power.

Reprehensible, inexcusable, and indescribably dangerous.

I was today’s years olds whens I learned that Crispin Glover and Danny Glover aren’t related despite both being male, actors, alive, and sharing the last name of G-Lover.

J/k, but apparently lots of folks have googlie searched for that.

The best compliment.

Or the ability to imagine life from a perspective different from one’s own. In at least the smallest degree. 😔

I like Connections and all, but to me its streaks don’t seem to matter like they do with the Wordle. Streaks with Wordle are worth scheduling a life around.

What’s wrong with me??

Aaron Young, MD @sk8cello.bsky.social · 2d

This is hilarious and I also hate it so much. 😂

Those rights should be universal.

Correction: those rights ARE universal.

They should be universally supported and protected.

Enjoying Diamond Jubilee and a sunset on this peaceful Saturday evening.

Practicing gratitude.

Wishing you all the same peace. 🙏

Landed a 360 flip today. Took a few dozen tries, but finally stomped it. 😁

Listening to a biography of W. Churchill.

In some ways he seems to have been an insufferable douche, but at least he was right about the Nazis.

White Lotus s3 was great!

Season 1 and 2 were merely good imo.

But 3 was a step up.

The thing about Trump is… fuck that orange shit. No thanks.

Cuba also has one of the highest unemployment rates in the world.

Let’s think like RFKjr for a sec and let correlation equal causation, so MAYBE unemployment is protective against autism???

EMPLOYMENT causes autism!!!
