Few things funnier than pretending that it’s somehow racist/classist/transphobic to be against AI as every tech company rushes to turn their models into mechahitler while dumping toxic waste into communities of color

We just got an air fryer (yay) so of course the first step is to check out the sub-Reddits and I'm just stating for the record that I did NOT click on r/air_fryer_porn because I am an adult with lots to do today.
Also it only has one follower and maybe we'll let it cook.

Read this. “My daughter Cal lived for 10 years, far longer than expected. I believe we owe those extra years to the care she received through Pennsylvania’s Medicaid program… Medicaid meant my daughter could spend her time in this world in our home, and leave this world in her brother’s arms.”
"For the Medicaid families I know, leaving a job is something they consider when their child is near death or the demands of caregiving become too all-consuming and physically exhausting to work outside of the home."

I Studied Poverty for Years. Then I Ended Up on Medicaid. I Learned a Hard Truth That Everyone Should Know.
The day I enrolled in Medicaid, I arrived at the welfare office carrying a designer bag.

To be clear, the line "Everybody dies" is specific to actors dying heroically in movies with an ensemble cast.
If you are a real person in a position of power and actively threatening other people's lives, this is not your punchline. Step off.

I’m starting to think this is deliberate. THIS IS NOT A LITMUS TEST. It’s not even relevant to what we’re facing in this moment. Do not give it oxygen.
For the most part, leading Democrats are ducking what is fast becoming the first real litmus test of the 2028 campaign: former President Biden's mental acuity.
Dems confront the first real litmus test of 2028: Biden's mental acuity
Some Democrats argue their leaders aren’t owning up to the truth about Biden — and risk keeping the issue alive indefinitely.

Remote work means that by 10 am I've had two conf calls, signed off on the dept budget, fixed my neighbor's smoke alarm, removed a tick off my newly widowed friend's middle back, found a coworker's missing pdf, and said yes to a bake sale.
