‘Good Tradition’ was the first song I recorded with @tanitatikaram.bsky.social back in 1988. It was joy to play then and still is - now with a coda! 🎻☀️😊🧡

Now we know the extent of how social media accounts expressing extremist views are often fake & coming from industrial scale troll farms in Russia ,Nigeria ,Thailand etc where is the political will to stop it ? Is government so owned by tech that the internet can just continue to be unregulated ?
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Nursing no longer considered a professional degree by Trump administration

Q: "Why is nursing being dropped as a professional degree?"
A: "Because 1 in every 20 nurses is Filipino. Because ~40% of the nurses in California are foreign born. Because ~60% of California nurses, are not white."

About 1 in every 20 nurses in the US are Filipino.♥️🇵🇭
The Philippines is better at educating and training large numbers of high quality nurses for less educational cost, than most other nations. Better than the USA.
This isn't just "cheap labor." This is pride in excellence of service to others.

I wish we could make a legally-binding contract for all these folks who are so anti-immigrant so that they could be relieved of the burden of getting medical treatment from folks who are immigrants or children of immigrants, which would free up tons of care for others.

The right wing elite are ruthless in protecting their own and getting what they want.
They wanted Johnson. (And what a disaster that was for us).
Now they want Farage. (Would be an off the scale catastrophe for the country).
Time we woke up to the betrayal.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
