Ditto, for this old, white cis male….🩷

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

As bloom take two is happening in my indoor garden; my meditations are on peace, and all those who are hurt by and will be hurt by, the egos of a few.

I'm moved to post this quote on the regular; but let's not think of it as Gandalf speaking, but rather Tolkien who saw the horrors of the first world war... Why is atrocity so hard for people to understand until it's too late? You think you *know* but you know less than nothing!

We know a lot of people are choosing to boycott AI overall, and we support that. AI is terrible on the environment! At the same time, we understand many people still use AI tools. If you’re going use AI please delete the ChatGPT app, and switch to Claude by Anthropic instead.

A scarlet #Amaryllis #Flower up close, for your enjoyment. Please enjoy the way the light dances on the tidies of the petal cells. I missed removing the anthers before they puffed, so, I just avoid touching them. The outer view shows the second flush of blooms on my collection of #Zygocactus

I had a "Vic-20"; people don't talk about ol' Vic that much, but it was one of the first to sell a million. If that's a metric for something...

“Remember what I said…” Yeah. About that. It’s almost impressive how confidently wrong that prediction aged.

Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

Hillary Clinton warned everyone.
Hillary Clinton warned everyone.
Hillary Clinton continues to send out warnings.

I’ll never regret voting for her and I’ll never believe that neither she nor Kamala Harris lost to the orange criminal tyrannical piece of shit.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Hillary Clinton never even met Jeffrey Epstein, but was forced to testify about him. #CoverUp

Hello, Cosmo says 😋

Mine too... :(
This insanity might bring back reading in a big way!! :)

New one for me!!! Love learning about unusual minerals; and this one is so beautiful

Texas friends, please remember to do your civic duty, never been so important before!!

Casey Means is not suitable to be the nation's top doc!!

that must smell amazing; perfect for kabobs/as skewers...

Screenshot of an X post by Rep. Eric Swalwell that reads, “Don’t threaten us with a good time,” quote-tweeting a FactPost clip of Speaker Mike Johnson saying, “If we lose the majority, it would be the end of the Trump presidency.” The embedded image shows Johnson speaking on Newsmax with a “Breaking News” banner and “State of the Union” chyron visible.

A really good time!

This image reminds me of an archetype of sorts... he's trouble, girl

Another unFUCKINGacceptable fool leader in this shameful administration

All y'all going to jail

Scoop: Pentagon takes first step toward blacklisting Anthropic The Pentagon asked at least two major defense contractors to assess their reliance on Claude.

Trump & Hegseth are punishing an American company because it won’t give them the tools to conduct mass surveillance on the American people.

This is Big Brother on steroids & it should scare the hell out of us. Our liberties are at stake, we cannot let this go unchecked.

Open any AI app you choose & have it really dig in on a subject that you know inside & out. Watch for how many errors it produces.
Now imagine that at Pentagon scale, where the AI has no guard rails & is only guided by vibes and whiskey.
Anthropic, $200M, & no legal framework.
What could go wrong?

It is our civic duty to do more so they can do less

Happy Birthday Senator!! Thank you for fighting the good fight!

Photograph taken inside the U.S. House chamber during a State of the Union–style event. In the foreground, Donald Trump is blurred while walking past. In the background, a man in a suit stands among seated attendees holding a handwritten sign that reads, “BLACK PEOPLE AREN’T APES!” Other lawmakers and guests look on.

Rep. Al Green, thank you for this moment.

Well, Donald Trump has said one thing so far that is true: We need to ban stock trading in Congress. I’ve been fighting for years to get it done. Just need Republicans to put it up for a vote.
