A big part of the problem is stupid people have been convinced by rich people that AI is God, when AI is closer to an automatic dog food dispenser.

There is a certain “burn it all down” impulse that is sometimes articulated under the guise of abolitionist, antiracist, anticolonial, or anarchist politics (ask me how I know) that is too often divorced from the practical question of whether you’re actually prepared to survive societal collapse.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

I said what I said about the universal appeal of anti-Black racism in the US🤷🏿‍♂️ This is why you lose. This is why you have no defense against foreign interference. This is why all of the other stuff on the other side of the chart, is so easy for them to accomplish. "At least he hurt Black folk!🤡"

In Indiana, 16 and 17-year-olds can now work the same hours as adults and are no longer restricted by school hours and days. They also can work overnight without an adult and perform hazardous agriculture jobs. Many 14- and 15-year-olds can now work during school hours as well.

Most adults (& I have been guilty of this) do not properly know how to feel, process, and regulate their emotions. Shutting down/avoidance/silent treatment/burying is not regulation. Overreacting/spiraling/controlling others/crashing out is not regulation.

HHS has ordered CDC to stop its influenza vaccine “Wild to Mild” media campaign. This is an award-winning campaign that effectively explains how influenza vaccine may not prevent infection but does decrease illness severity. We are currently having one of the worst influenza seasons in 15 years.
