Fantastic thread, excellent resources. Learn from history. It's happening again, in cycles. 🧡

I can be calm all day but when they send this garbage propaganda to CHILDREN I lose my f-ing mind.

Fucking Pete Hogsbreath is removing the Citizenship merit badge from Scouting America and sending our scouts garbage propaganda about how DEI ruined scouting. This is most fascist bullshit. America is a fucking pluralistic society, get over yourself you sick asshole.

I know several of my teen son’s peers who’ve had this surgery or other serious leg injuries - it’s a shame what kids will do to themselves for life - & what parents let them do- just to try to get a scholarship for higher ed. It’s like a weird American parent brag if your kid’s on crutches

I feel that their choices are used to finagle more pay and not what’s best for kids or families. For example- extending school year to one half day past Juneteenth to get β€œholiday pay”

Block scheduling is blocked by the teachers union, though the schools we’ve been at that use block scheduling had higher scoring across the board. I’ve also seen teachers union determining holiday and break schedules that seriously inconvenience family and travel experiences. What gives?

NSF officials break silence on how AI and quantum now drive agency grantmaking Leaders acknowledge White House role in controversial moves

The National Science Foundation is systematically being converted to the National AI and Quantum Research Foundation.

β€œI see it as the administration exerting political control over what has traditionally been NSF’s ability to fund the best science.”

All rape, these girls can’t consent and there will be deaths. These are, extremely, high risk pregnancies. A abomination.

Fix your headline.

WTF is this headline? Are you a middle schooler? Grow up for F sake. This is a serious war and people have died. Not some crap shoot. WTH is your problem? Have you lost your humanity?

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

The People vs. AI Across red states and blue, a grassroots movement is pushing back on the unchecked growth of the artificial intelligence industry.

Don’t believe them when they say it’s inevitable.

Brother - ads aren’t anything. Go after and regulate the sugar and preservatives and dyes and additives in our food like Europe does. Let’s try going after the industries - & then they should pay taxes directly into our healthcare.

This is absolutely the least they should do - based on a recent interview with Ezra Klein they admit they have NO monitoring systems in place as safeguard for Claude yet. Nothing. In fact, they said, that’s something for β€œsociety to figure out” β€” ie pay for.

I’d just like to remind everyone that based on his own recent interview with Ezra Klein, Anthropic has barely ANY monitoring systems in place for their agent Claude. No monitoring. Over an AI that the Pentagon wants to use willynilly. WTH is happening

We’re considering this. It’s not just about the political mess. It’s about more walkable small cities and less consumerism, individualism, and domination by big corporations. Yes, it costs money to move, but there are many other countries that are more affordable for the same standard of living.

The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.

I’m looking to leave permanently, even if I have to rent a cabana on the beach in Palau for 20 years. The thought of being an American and dying here depresses me to no end. I’ve lived overseas for the last 7 years before moving back and I hate it here now with a passion.

Did you know John Sabey, one of the key players at the Sabey Corporation, is also the mayor of Hunts Point?

Since 2014, Sabey has been serving as Mayor for the Lake Washington town that has a population of 460, according to the 2024 U.S. Census, and which is a mere 25 minute drive from Seattle.
