I'll put it on my list!

BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests One billion board feet per year... 30 days to make your voice heard.

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off.

This is really elegantly put.

A highly complex website showing two betting accounts earning nearly $500,000 and $120,000 on a minimal number of positions.

In case you were wondering, Polymarket had yet another spate of likely inside traders betting that the US would strike Iran by February 28.

Per the due diligence investigation service Bubblemaps, the wallets used were created 24 hours earlier.

The Pentagon Pizza Index has been replaced.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

WE HAD SO MUCH FUNNNNNNN

I don't think there were any pictures of our AZCAF panel, so in lieu of selfies, I got art. So much dang fun, can't believe I was nervous and weird this morning.

this year...

Ah.
That makes a lot of sense.

'No more forever wars'

Somewhere along the line we lost sight of the fact that the three branches were meant to be completely equal to each other, and be beholden TO each other, instead of just ceding all the power to one fallible human.

This is absolutely not something that happens in a stable democracy.
And it would sure be nice if Congress stepped up and DID THE THING IT IS MEANT TO DO.

A reminder of where I am today.
Consider wandering over.

DO NOT USE CHAT GPT.

Also, paying my CC bill in full before the bank can claim any kind of interest feeds a very vindictive part of my petty little brain.

Every time I get a scam call from 'my bank' to 'confirm I made *this* purchase' I always tell them 'yup, that was me, I absolutely made *that* purchase.'

They don't know what to do with that.
It's very fun.

So funny that Dems have spent a decade unable to unravel the complex mind of the dumbest man in politics, then Mamdani instantly came up with "be charismatic and strong" and "make him fake newspapers" and it's Super Effective.

Donate to Support She Got Game: Celebrate Female Athletes, organized by Flavor Flav Flavor Flav, the legendary rapper and Hollywood personality, has long been… Flavor Flav needs your support for Support She Got Game: Celebrate Female Athletes

Many of y’all asked how you can support and donate to our female athletes and the celebrations,,, so I created a Go Fund Me. I’m hopeful this can have an impact beyond the weekend and help those that represent the best of the US

I got yelled at today by a stranger and I'm proud to report that-

-that junk is going to live in my brain forever now. Twenty years on and I'm still going to have that seared into my brain.

Won't be able to remember the names of beloved childhood pets. But this will still be there.

So thanks.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

Historically, it is not good when governments decide to immediately seize critical personal documents from a marginalized group.

Unfortunately "We were just following orders" is not, historically speaking, a real defense

every trans girl is fighting a secret fight that you can solve by giving her 20 thousand dollars

He sings it so sadly too...

Personally, I don't think the moral argument that these brands should be using human creatives and not the plagiarism machine has much material effect on these brands. And doesn't reach them.

Pointing out that using AI makes them look CHEAP though.

I feel like that might burn them up a little.

Gucci faces backlash for using AI in new spring collection For a brand that prides itself on craftsmanship and exclusivity, Gucci is now under fire for its use of artificial intelligence in one of its upcoming advertising campaign. On Monday, the luxury...

Whenever a brand I recognize uses AI, my knee jerk gut reaction is that they're using it for the same reason every proselytizer says businesses OUGHT to be using AI.

Because it's cheaper.

So, you heard it here first folks.
Gucci is hard up for money.

Listen, the Boy Scouts of America say to 'Be Prepared' and that is a credible endorsement if I've ever heard it.

Do I mean myself as the victim?
Do I mean myself as the perpetrator?

Only time will tell.
