I wish, I wish, I wish upon a star that AI overlords would turn AI away from stealing artists’ work and move to dive into cancer and MS research to see things human eyes and minds would take years to see and actually provide a benefit to humanity.

So he is dying and trying to ensure he has a legacy that he and his handlers have defined. I am not comfortable with history defining this POS. He has been defined since the 80s as a POSz

Really, really sick of amount spent on campaigns determining winner, especially in local elections with national of international $ deciding the fate of real people.

Teddy Roosevelt got shot in the chest and finished a 90-minute speech. Reagan got shot and joked, "Honey, I forgot to duck." Truman survived an attack and kept his Arlington schedule. None of them blamed their critics. None of them built a ballroom. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

open.substack.comDon't Be IntimidatedI lived inside the threats. Criticizing the President is not violence. It's the job description of a citizen.

There have been so many remote jobs posted around building AI infrastructure- shielded in content creator, editor, etc. Many who saw did not pursue- disconnect in description vs. pay. Now lots of AI developed from low to mediocre content.

I am curious as to why super rich cristofascist CEOs are buying bunkers to “survive” a nuclear armageddon they are salivating to bring upon the world. Have they just realized Brendan Frazier is not going to bring about happy slaves willing to do their bidding upon emergence post apocalypse?

I am so sick and tired of unskilled, untrained, uneducated, and not smart individuals claiming intellectual superiority and being granted spaces and places to determine paths for others.

Human life on this earth is so fleeting and fragile in the scope of human existence.. . I am angry that an abomination of evil has stolen more than 10 years of what could be with grievances that have dragged the entire world back in time

This and more this. There is a group of powerful people dead set on putting us back in 1324 ish. I do not want to relive the middle ages. You?

What SCOTUS ruling means to you the American taxpayers. Your costs will not decrease You will not get a refund Corps will pocket any savings CEOs will get raises Inflation will continue to rise Energy prices will continue to rise Justices get a bonus Wall Street dances a jig We are still screwed

I posted something here and on Threads that basically said. . . “When you realize and recognized they burned women and no one was a witch. They were women who had opinions, inherited property, refused to be abused, or simply stated their opinions. . . some other things today make sense”.

I received a few responses of “only death was one man crushed in MA” and I lost my sh$t. The primary reason for post - sick and tired of people who’s world view is the US. STFU. Second, the misogyny of men suffer bc of women. No - women suffer because systems support men who dehumanize women

Should be shared everywhere - no plan, no authority to act, just doing.

If you want to FINALLY watch Scott Bessent get pinned down on specifics about the illegal money laundering operation being conducted by the Trump admin from someone who knows WTF he’s talking about, this clip is your chance. Bessent gets destroyed.

Stop asking if they’re “rigging the election.” They. Already. Are. But the most dangerous part isn’t the mechanics. It’s the message. They’re doing it in public to make you swallow the real lie: That voting is pointless. If they can get you to quit before Election Day… they don’t even have to win.

Venting - I am a consultant of many years and many strategic plans across a wide variety of clients. Recently worked with one who is asking for additional things and realized those asking never actually read the plan. I am deflated and a bit inspired. Why do I work my a$$ off when my work is . .

Over the age of 50 I fully appreciate receiving socks from my grandparents for Christmas as a child . . . extremely under appreciated by my younger self. What a gift of comfort and security.

In need of #art by a #livingartist for #christmas gifts? If you are in #Denver stop by Downtown Aurora Visual Arts #DAVA on December 5 for the Holiday Art Show on #firstfriday

Anyine else absolutely sick of every little thing having become political since 2015? It was not always this way, it is a deliberate and “easy” way to divide humans with shared values but limited access to knowledge or time to dive into details a clear way to define “other”. Kinda sick of it.

On a side note - I am thoroughly enjoying listening ti Irena Shapiro’s historical fiction books. Her writing is so descriptive and puts you back in time through great storytelling. I recommend taking a loom / listen.

If you needed a reason to become a member of CBCA. . . now you have it for your business impact.

8 November 1942 | A transport of some 1,000 Polish Jews - men, women, and children - deported from ghettos in Ciechanów region (part of German-occupied Poland annexed to the Third Reich). After the arrival selection, all of them were murdered in gas chambers.
