You have no idea how much I needed this moment of Willow.

Thank you!

I may be remembering wrong but didn't an Olympic swimmer get sick from one of the swimming events on the Seine?

I wish people in 'Red States' would wake up to the fact that their lives have been miserable to X years and those have all been under heaving Republican regimes.

But then I remember that racism and hatred is a powerful drug and that party just injects it into their voters at every chance.

I mean yes.

All the AI in the world on written reports won't mean a thing when it comes to actual testing either.

As a DC resident I do feel that the city has been overrun by "violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals" and I would like them to leave the White House and stop destroying the federal government.

I really do not know how educators are going to fight back on this influx of AI.

Such a blindingly obvious outcome foreseeable to any teacher but that no one who is pushing this tech wants to acknowledge.

Not a tool for learning, but an obstacle to it.

This power grab of DC has to be met with massive protests.

If he’s allowed to do what he wants without pushback, then we are doomed.

If you know DC you understand how tremendously goofy this is

J Edgar Hoover was happy to deploy his guys as political henchmen & partisan operatives, but he consistently vetoed this. He considered it beneath the dignity of his agency, which existed to demonstrate advanced scientific methods to local law enforcement, not to patrol the streets.

I’m telling you all right now, this is a β€œcanary in the coal mine” test.

If he’s allowed to get away with TOS tooth little-to-no pushback, we’re at martial law.

Trump is invoking Section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act, which authorizes him to seize control of the entire DC police department for a maximum of 30 days.

This is insane stuff. D.C. is not in the grip of a crime wave. Crime has been falling for three years now. Violent crime is at a 30-year low.

Oh boy this is bringing up so many memories!

One of my favorites was 'The Berenstain Bears Learn About Strangers' and the one about meeting Santa.

My mom and dad used to take me to the local library and they had all the Bears books. We'd borrow a few for the week and then get more on returning.

A cookbook with the Berenstain Bears standing around a table, making baked goods, as they pour milk, crack eggs, roll dough, and mix batter.

That's it, from now on I will exclusively be preparing meals using The Berenstain Bears Country Cookbook

We know what can be done about it, but the systems have been so corrupted by amoral people that it will not work.

Trump's Confederacy rises again The Lost Cause doesn't seem all that lost anymore.

New in PN: Trump's Confederacy rises again

"The straightforward explanation for Trump’s Confederacy fetish is that he’s a virulent racist who would’ve enslaved people himself. If you think that’s hyperbolic, just listen to the man."
