He used his moment perfectly. Love it!

I am BEGGING you.

Please, PLEASE, do not try to talk your way out of an arrest or detention. Do NOT talk to cops.

Say that and SHUT UP.

Hand-drawn comic illustration of a community food drive. A banner reads “FOOD DRIVE,” with a sign for “DONATION DROP.” In the foreground, two young people sort donations into a box labeled “CANNED GOODS,” including cans, chips, and other food items on a table. One person says in a speech bubble, “Thanks for getting my hands to do something besides doomscroll.” In the background, a small child carries a donation box. The drawing uses black linework with orange, green, and blue accents.

Bianca Xunise nails the feeling of doing something real with your hands: donating food, showing up, helping neighbors.

“Thanks for getting my hands to do something besides doomscroll.”

Amazing work. Just top notch. We have the smartest people running things for sure.

There’s going to be a lot of kids that won’t be able to make a decision without talking to their AI chatbot as adults. They’ll know close to nothing. If you want your kid to be the smartest person in the room in a decade or two, encourage them to do the work without the bots.

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

The idea of judging a disability based on medication efficacy is horrible. Some medication effectiveness changes. And you can bet that any vets that have their rating lowered will probably never get it raised when that happens. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...

Surely this is totally reformable, right @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Don’t hurt yourself in your confusion!

If I had a business, I’d just remove the men’s and women’s signs.

100% this. Been in chronic pain for 9 years. It took me the first 3 to accept this truth.

Wow.

Marine Detained in Minneapolis Says Feds Copied His Phone Without a Warrant He was observing after Alex Pretti's killing. Feds detained him at gunpoint, sampled his DNA, scanned his face, and cloned his phone.

“They took my cell phone and cloned it. They actually told me they did that.”

Not every day you see orgs as distinct as the American Federation of Teachers and the Young Democratic Socialists of America come together to push ICE and its enablers off our schools 🙏

“There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.”

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018. How did I do it? Blacked out lines CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP. There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

This is blackout poetry to me

Claim by Microsoft AI CEO, Mustafa Suleyman, that "most, if not all, professional tasks" undertaken by white collar workers will be fully automated by AI within the next 12 to 18 months.

megaLOL

we have all suffered through automated phone tree hell for years, shouting "AGENT! AGENT! GDAMMIT!" in hopes of talking to a person & now the world is just begging for that experience to be extended into every realm of our lives, including interactions with physicians, teachers, etc.
