The fact that Google must promise not to use artificial intelligence as a weapon, or as a tool for surveillance and censorship, is an alarming signal regarding the direction in which the American administration is heading—especially since Grok does not give a f***.

I keep thinking about this post: "in my day, toilet paper and eggs were so plentiful we hucked them at houses and trees, just because" and i can't stop laughing because that's the most 1988 thing ever and i can't explain it for the life of me

De-Nazify shit.

This press conference on the DC crash is an embarrassment. Just a lot of rambling.

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Trump is an extremely dangerous man--stupid, vindictive, fixated on payback for his enemies. This country will be lucky to survive him.

its worth noting the admin is starting to turn “DEI” into “DEIA,” with the A standing for Accessibility currently careening toward potential ADA lawsuits if they’re not careful

GoFundMe is going to MATCH all donations to this fundraiser up to $250,000 Letz go,!! 🙏🏾

For thousands of Americans suffering from a condition called long COVID, their situation has left them not only with debilitating physical health but also struggling financial health. This was the conclusion from a study by University of Georgia researchers.

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

It's great that we as a society have moved past asking people to stop using straws while manufacturers release millions of tons of pollutants and onto asking people to take slightly shorter showers while computers use up entire lakes to explain basic concepts badly. The human innovative spirit

NEW: House Dems are holding an “emergency virtual caucus meeting” at 1 pm over the “Illegal Republican Funding Freeze,” per a notice that just went out to members (via John Bresnahan)

Trump doesn't care if the economy crashes and communities suffer. His goal is to force you and your family to accept a lower standard of living while he and his friends get richer. Cutting support for law enforcement, schools, small businesses and firefighters is chaos by design.

The FDA and the US Dept. of Agriculture are not allowed to announce any recalls or traceback studies on ANY food or foodborne illnesses due to the Trump administration’s health communications blackout on all federal organizations. You can find it directly here at this link: fsis.usda.gov/recalls

Few material things can provide perspective. This does for me. Photo of Otto Frank, returning to his family’s hiding place. In 1944, an informant betrayed them and the family was sent to Auschwitz. His wife (Edith) was murdered, his daughters (Margot & Anne) died of Typhus.

Google said it will change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America" and change Denali to "Mount McKinley." And I will be changing the name of Chrome to "Duck Duck Go."

Imagine artists stealing things in broad daylight, inviting the reviewers, and calling it performance art ....

JD Vancenereal Disease looks like a deranged leprechaun, who stands under bathroom stalls, demanding to see your lucky charms.

“The Democrats didn’t do enough on Gaza, so I withheld my vote to make a statement.” “Well, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.” “Yep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.” “‘We?’ The Gazans are paying the price, not us” Pause. “I needed to make a statement.”

This is NOT a not see friendly channel.

If you’re good at internet sleuthing and want to put your skills to work to help wildfire victims you can check for LA county rentals that have suddenly doubled in price, publicly name and shame the agents doing this, and report them to the government because it’s illegal: oag.ca.gov/contact/cons...

Maybe this is where I'll write about rare disease/chronic illness, a 30 year happy marriage with my wife, healing, persistence, resilience... I've lived an interesting life. I might have a few messages for the kids... :)

My wife is my first follower. That pleases my soul. :) And, one of my dearest friends, right after! Love you both!
