Truth is paramount. 💙, 🌈ally, evangelical survivor, no DMs🚫
I first read The Handmaid's Tale in '90. The Hunger Games was the first digital book I bought.

NEVER did I think they were anything but fantasy, yet here we are, at the cross section of the beginnings of those tales.

I refuse. Period.

I'm slowly walking away from all media because I'm realizing I'm having difficulty ducerning if I'm disappointed, outraged, angry etc..the left needs to recalibrate truth. I'm so over hyperbole.

Where is honesty
Where is rabid anger from the left, reflecting dishonestty with equal vitrol?

It’s funny that this is happening at the exact moment that AI developments have underlined the U.S.’s deficit in engineering talent, and the administration is sending the scariest possible signals to prospective skilled migrants

If you’re conflicted over whether you have a civic duty to monitor social media, remember this blessing from the final page of the Book of the SubGenius in 1987.

I'm currently living in east central IL & I'm perplexed by how drastic my perception of reality is from my Chicago folk. I'm from downtown Chicago, the culture shock is real. This is a RED state outside urban areas. The coming chaos will be very real. I'm here by circumstances, this is all weird

A ban on ALL research communications is in effect due to a T executive order. ALL. Federal, not state, reporting is banned. Also, removal from WHO.

This is terrifying
Great, just in time for avian flu. We live in the absolute dumbest timeline.

I just bought so many seeds in addition to planning. The economic fallout...so many folks are conditioned to react slowly...this will be not pleasant.

I wish everyone well

Behind the Bastards podcast is excellent to explain what is happening. Coolzone media is amazing

Google search gamechanger: add -ai after your search term and the results are like old google; no ai roundup, shopping links, or top loaded youtube videos.

if you made art this year, you did well. a sketch, even if it was scrapped ; a poem, even if it was deleted — mattered. you put thought to paper, you engaged with the creative alchemy of turning feeling to something tangible. doesn't matter if you weren't productive "enough." or good "enough."

Yikes is correct. I would love to see an attempt to diagram this 'statement' or even stake out all the conflicting stances.
Time did not edit Trump for clarity and yikes

In the 90s, most of us from the college newspaper were at a party & a joint was lit. Editor feaked b/c he wanted to be president someday & was adamant it would never happen if he was known to be in a room with marijuana. He had to be pure & squeaky clean. GOP guy obvs.

I wonder what he thinks now.

If you want to understand the far right, violent extremists, White Supremacists, and Christian nationalists, these are the journalists, researchers, academics, and other experts that monitor, research, and provide analysis on all the flavors of the far right and extremist movements.

I'm going to give the Behind the Bastards RFK Jr. episodes another whirl.

Come for the family dysfunction, drugs, death & mayhem, stay for the falconry & falcon related escapades.
