I have responded to every compliment I have ever received about anything I am wearing/own with 1) thank you, 2) where and when I got it and 3) what a great deal I got on it. It’s the Michigander way.

If a woman find an article of clothing for a deal... she will never stop talking about it

Hey so obviously there are much much worse things in the Epstein emails, but this dipshit Roger Schank’s “theory” absolutely makes me want to set things on fire.

Jess Calarco@jessicacalarco.com

Relevant to today's conversation about AI's inherent sexism, here's an email from cognitive psychologist and early AI theorist Roger Schank, arguing to Epstein that women can't be truly intelligent, because they care too much about what other people think.

Jesus fucking Christ the feds can’t get it together to prosecute anyone in the Epstein files but are expediting the deportation of a 5 year old?!?!

The New York Times@nytimes.com

Lawyers for the federal government have filed a motion to expedite the deportation of Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old boy in a bunny hat who was detained by ICE agents in Minnesota. A lawyer for Liam and his father said the family had legally entered the U.S. through a humanitarian program.

I keep arguing: there are 5 ways to fight fascism: 1) 3.5% in the streets 2) Peel off 8 Reps or 4 Sens 3) Rescue Trump catastrophe 4) Win in the courts 5) Win in November If you've foresworn 2-5, fine. Then put everything into 1.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Go to therapy. Go alone. Go with a partner. Don’t wait until you (or they) are in crisis! Find a therapist you connect with and just go. Learning more about yourself, how you relate to others and skills for communicating with both will change your life immensely for the better.

The opposite of diversity is segregation. The opposite of equity is hoarding resources. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion. We need to name that these are segregationists who are excluding to hoard resources.

Hakeem Jefferson@hakeemjefferson.bsky.social

One of the real problems is that too many people conveniently believe the opposite of diversity is merit, and the opposite of inclusion is high standards. Yeah, that’s just not the case. (See: Pete Hegseth among countless others.)

They want you to feel disoriented and afraid and they want you to forget that they all hate one another and can’t be happy

If you want any optimism right now, this is probably the strongest Trump and MAGA will ever look

It’s insane that the richest men possess the most embarrassing loser energy imaginable. Evil billionaires used to at least be patrons of arts! Build a museum/hospital and slap their name on it! These dipshits just go on podcasts to bitch about women and try to impress crypto bros. Pathetic.

theguardian.comI knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers | Rebecca ShawElon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg’s desperation to be cool as they suck up to Donald Trump is so cringe it makes my skin crawl

A dry Christmas tree can burn faster than newspaper. * *Before the internet, you were able to receive a collection of news articles printed on paper. These papers were delivered to your door either by professionals or kids on bikes struggling to balance while carrying the Sunday edition.

Our local library system is the best - a lot of people don’t realize how much they offer in addition to books and media (and programs, and free computers, and beautiful relaxing spaces, etc, etc)!
