The meme caption reads: “I struggle to articulate my political stance sometimes, but this picture of a possum [sic] screaming at a bald eagle pretty much sums it up.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vsckpmhwxpzqa43aeo2angrp/bafkreifzsgpf2p33fitfr4j3yqdvjucscof5d7p2xlxq6tfuiigjw3hzbm@jpeg)
My grandmother—who was in many ways a mother to me—passed away a little over two years ago. She wasn’t there for my wedding. She never got to meet my daughter. There are so many things I want to tell her. But this would simply not be her, and there is no depth to which I could sink to believe it is.

I’m assuming this also comes with a home laboratory and phlebotomy kit for blood cultures to determine the most appropriate course of ABX for the issue you are experiencing.
Wait… what’s that?
I’m hearing that it *does not.*

Keep going everyone. Bullying works. No one wants this shit.
It's truly wild to me that this just keeps happening. Coca-Cola runs an AI ad and people overwhelmingly react with disgust. They do it again, and people are disgusted again. Now McDonald's makes an AI ad that's so bad that so many people are furious about it they pull it down.

One of the biggest problems in the crossover between statism and carceralism is that the state must *never under any circumstances* admit that it was wrong, lest it be embarrassed, and—possibly even worse—its mandate of authority be questioned.
Even if it means sending innocent people to death.

AI is like this giant fucking boat we all were forced to get on, and it's a boat they stole, and also it barely floats, and also it's not going anywhere good. So it either takes us somewhere we hate, or it fucking sinks, so either way, fuck AI.
So if AI succeeds loads of people lose their jobs as they're replaced by AI, and if AI fails, loads of people lose their jobs as the economy crashes?
It’s amazing how this story has gone from 0 to 60 in UK press. There’s been no mainstream coverage to date but this morning the story is leading BBC News site & bulletins.

Putting together my holiday party playlist for the year and realized something. “Christmas in Hollis” by Run-DMC came out in 1987. That means it is as old today as Bing Crosby and Carol Richards’ “Silver Bells” was the year I was born.

Final thoughts on Graham Platner as someone who was an early supporter (even though I don’t live in ME): what you say can mean a lot, but what you do/have done means more.
If he’d come out of the gate acknowledging all of these serious problems that became “gotchas”…

You have to be willing to walk away from these guys if they let you down, just as a matter of basic self respect. It's not a fandom. You're hiring them to do a job or not.
I liked the Platner ads too but I think there's a difference between "guy who had some bad reddit posts a decade ago" and "ex-Blackwater merc who still has a Nazi tattoo." Sucks bigtime that he's the only one taking positions and talking policy I like, but them's the breaks!
