It’s the “don’t make me tap the sign” meme and the sign says “I don’t care what ChatGPT said”.

In this interview Schumer is so delulu and out of touch and wrong. I vote in CA but if you’re a NY voter, I hope you alll can find someone to primary him. He is unfit for the moment as are many of his colleagues.

Does anyone else think it’s funny that Apple has invested so much money in putting out techno-pessimistic sci-fi shows?

It was written by the guy who wrote Bat Out of Hell and most of Meat Loaf’s early stuff! He actually turned the song down because he thought it was too “feminine” but after it was a huge hit for Celine, he made his own version.

IN THE RIVERS north of the future 
I cast the net, which you 
hesitantly weight 
with shadows stones 
wrote.

Condition for Retention
I don't want to be the cardinal on which the revolution hangs, who brightens the winter tree.
I want sufficient sun to watch shadows change.
I want to turn away from death
and live it another way, aloft, my guts
metaphorizing pleasure
as I bake my grief above.
Tired oven mind.
The calrods swerve
a second sun. Do not put my name in the essay on the cult of ends.
I will miss our words when we've won.

To mark "Trump will declare a national emergency for mass deportations" day: here is the initial spreadsheet of our crowd-sourced *local* immigration advocacy/support organizations.

Please share widely, put to good use, and keep letting me know about more organizations folks can connect with.
