Curiously Clever

I dread misspeaking & inadvertently offending most people. It's intensely embarrassing & painful to face my blunders, so it would be great if people would kindly ask for clarification before going straight to full-throttled condemnation for something I've said. If I'm truly wrong, I'll admit it.

“Each of us here has a story of generational struggle. Amazon is trying to erase that.” Warehouse workers, delivery drivers, and software engineers are organizing against America’s deportation machine.

Urgent update: The United States just dropped to its lowest ranking ever in the press freedom index—64th out of 180 countries. This weekend we are celebrating World Press Freedom day and the alarm bells are ringing. Journalists are being silenced. Press is under attack. It is a five alarm fire.

Trump is the only REAL 'national emergency' we're facing.

#AI-generated images & videos ARE HARMFUL. Deepfake videos are already being used to intentionally harm individuals; it's only a matter of time before Trump's propaganda media will be using AI to disseminate lies on a massive scale, in order to twist narratives presented by 'reliable' news sources.

I'm tired of seeing this obvious BS, so I did an image search. Google's #AI Overview states: "This image appears to be a heavily AI-processed or artistic representation based on NASA data from the Juno spacecraft rather than a raw, direct photograph."

Those of us in the pro-democracy movement can and should hold both of these positions. 1. We unequivocally reject violence. 2. We will unequivocally oppose efforts by this administration to use last night as an excuse to try to suppress criticism and criminalize dissent.

It's time the WHCA faces the fact that this administration is intent on destroying the free press and by extension, our democracy.

Kind of a perfect metaphor for the media and the role they've played over the last ten years

BREAKING: White House did not impose highest security level for the White House Correspondents Dinner Trump is lashing out at 60 Minutes for reading the manifesto calling him a rapist. Democrats score victory in Virginia maps battle. Subscribe to support media that won’t normalize the President:

FUCK the #NRA, its members, its political apologists, and every filthy lobbyist whose salary matters more to them than the lives of others.

Fuck Trump and every one of the propaganda correspondents attending his "Assassination Attempt" dinner theater. Trump wouldn't be in the position to pull this transparent wag-the-dog bullshit if not for their decade of tepid, complicit, and outright supportive 'journalism'.

Every propaganda correspondent attending Trump's "Assassination Attempt" dinner theatre is a shill and an overpaid hack.

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

The artificial intelligence industry’s data center boom is the latest chapter in a long history of environmental racism and resource exploitation in vulnerable Native communities, says Oglala Lakota and Northern Cheyenne activist Krystal Two Bulls.

With so much awful news, here is something to brighten your day:

Paolo Zampolli epitomizes why so many people hate the Trump administration.

Some call it profit. Science calls it theft. A global tax on polluting companies could raise $400 billion year one. That money doesn't disappear. It's just sitting in the wrong bank accounts—while our planet runs a deficit it'll never repay.

This seems important.

Ghislaine Maxwell should not be pardoned. She should be moved back to an appropriate prison to serve the remainder of her term. Survivors have repeatedly said Maxwell not only participated but was often an architect of their abuse.

Corpus Christi, Texas, appears to be on track to become the first modern American city to run out of water

Every major war of the last 100 years had fossil fuels in the background. Coups for oil. Occupations for gas. Blood for barrels. Solar flips the script: energy independence lives on your roof. No army required. #EnergySecurity #Renewables

I think that we should simply run on prosecuting the rich for their crimes instead of creating a low trust society that will sow the seeds for further fascism

AI is the enemy.

The Pope knows more about being a human being than Trump, his family, and the entire Republican party put together.

The US & Britain have been wreaking global havoc since WWII. "On August 19, 1953, the CIA & British intelligence — through Operation Ajax, executed with bribed journalists, fabricated street protests, and hired mobs — overthrew Mohammad Mossadegh, Iran’s elected Prime Minister..."

"When you see [harm] done to others, especially to children, the cruelty is too much to take. Americans are not as desensitized as polls claim. We just don’t know where to put all the pain we keep being told is not real."

Skincare videos are featuring children as young as two, Guardian analysis finds, prompting fears about the industry’s reach and lack of safeguards

i think it is cool that the president of the united states routinely slurs black people as biological inferior
