I love to read and talk sci fi. Obsessed with Civilization the video game, Terry Pratchett works, human rights, environmental protections, being a mom, tabletop RP, oh yeah and anything that catches the ADHD hyperdrive.

This is a thought I’ve had about the right’s various efforts to push women out of the workforce—with abortion bans, childcare cuts, tradwife agitprop, etc. How much of it is because they think AI will let them drastically reduce the workforce, and they want an ideological rationale for doing so?
how much of the DOGE-driven destruction of the nation’s research and development capacity is because these people are AI cultists who believe that we’re on the verge of creating a sentient general intelligence?

I'm studying to become a paralegal. It's work that contains all the things I love about journalism. And it turns out legal analysis is really fun!

As a former journalist I think it's important to tell you that we are trained NOT to go off record unless it's absolutely necessary. There are a bunch of different styles of what people think of as off-record and each one comes with varying levels of work that must be done to verify what was said.

My family likes to play Helldivers 2 together. We are an excellent team with the two teen boys and Dad and me.

The CFPB finalized a rule that would ban medical debt from appearing on credit reports.
The change will help an estimated 15 million people. Accessing medical care, which we know is too costly in America, shouldn't ruin your credit.
