I 🩷 cats, dogs, guinea pigs, birds, bears, octopuses, fish, whales, reptiles, some bugs if they’re cute like honey and bumble bees, spiders, just about any critter or creature that isn’t set upon making the USA a fascist dictatorship. I love the USA 🇺🇸

UNESCO just added the Normandy D-Day beaches to the World Heritage List. Those 80 km of coastline where the Allies landed on June 6, 1944 and began the long fight to free Europe from Nazi occupation. Glad these places of real sacrifice are getting lasting protection. www.france24.com/en/europe/20...

So tacky!

Looking at what he's done to the People's House (without Congressional approval, of course), I feel equal parts rage & embarrassment for our country. The Midterms can't come soon enough... #Register&VOTE 🌊

The funny thing about AI is that it is only as smart as the input data. The old adage “garbage in is garbage out” is still true. Calling something “intelligence” does not make it so. In these days of misinformation, please be careful of where your information comes from.

Uber’s Chief Operating Officer said it’s getting harder for the company to justify the costs of using AI. Starbucks just scrapped its AI inventory tool for repeatedly miscounting and mislabeling items. Is the AI bubble getting ready to burst?

The “use it all up and let someone else deal with the consequences” approach to the climate and the US economy isn’t working so well for the majority of us.

Food prices are skyrocketing thanks to drought conditions, Trump’s tariffs, and his war on Iran. On top of that, consolidation in our food system allows dominant firms to take advantage of these shocks and jack up prices even higher. Everyone gets squeezed while Big Ag rakes it in.

Fraud? By a fraudster? Defrauding the American public? If it smells like shit…it usually is.

The inflated margins padded the contract by at least $850,000 above what a competitively structured deal would have cost. The government ultimately agreed to pay the firm $13.1 million seven times what Trump originally claimed the project would cost.

Take a look to see who is behind those ads. Make sure you know their motives before you decide your vote. Make sure you aren’t voting against your own interests and those of your loved ones.

Cryptocurrency PAC Fairshake notched another win in last night's Texas runoff after spending nearly $6.5M to defeat Democratic Congressman Al Green. But if you saw their ads, you'd never know who was behind them.

Imagine that…there’s no money where the fraudster-in-chief said there would be.

#NoMoreMonopolies This is moving us ever closer to one “state” network that will only ever say what the “state” approves. Wanna know what it will be like? Ask someone who lived in the former Soviet Union. They’ll tell ya.

According to Semafor, officials in Trump's DOJ are reportedly ready to approve Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros after meeting with Paramount CEO David Ellison and other company executives. This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped. State AGs must step in and block it.

Oklahoma regulators discovered strong signs of oil pollution, including high levels of salt and toxic metals, in one family’s drinking water. But for two years, they repeatedly delayed basic tests to find the culprit — then closed the case. (Published Feb. with @readfrontier.bsky.social)
