🍞 Crumbs for Thought 💭

Meta’s internal memo said the political tumult in the United States was good timing for the feature’s release. “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” according to the document from Meta’s Reality Labs, which works on hardware including smart glasses.

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper.

"The great political transition of the past 50 years, driven by corporate marketing, has been a shift from addressing our problems collectively to addressing them individually. In other words, it has turned us from citizens into consumers. It’s not hard to see why we have been herded down this path. As citizens, joining together to demand political change, we are powerful. As consumers, we are almost powerless." quote by George Monbiot

We have been herded down this path

OBAMA: “People make excuses for him. They say he’s not serious. Everything a president says is serious!”🔥

Literally like bullies whose whole approach is intimidating their victims into complying through the threat of violence while simultaneously being unable to back it up.

Fight them on EVERYTHING.

Unsurprising, unfortunately

A friend told me that AI has come leaps and bounds in the last 6 months so I tried one out today for the first time in a long time by asking it if there were any grammar issues in my resume and it told me at least 2 things that were blatantly false

Yeah like... he was not actually supporting his claim here

The @uaw.org has won a tentative agreement from VW nearly two years after workers voted to unionize in Chattanooga.

Over 3,000 workers will get:

- A 20% raise
- Better healthcare
- A bonus of about $6,550 per worker upon ratification

And much more.

Oh, and what hand up are you replacing it with, Brooke? Brooke?

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2019%3A20%2D22&version=NIV Matthew 19:20-22 New International Version 20 "All these I have kept," the young man said. "What do I still lack?" 21 Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." 22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2014%3A12%2D14&version=NIV Luke 14:12-14 New International Version Then Jesus said to his host, "When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%202%3A2%2D4&version=NIV James 2:2-4 New International Version Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in. If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, "Here's a good seat for you," but say to the poor man, "You stand there" or "Sit on the floor by my feet," have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%209%3A8%2D10&version=NIV 2 Corinthians 9:8-10 New International Version And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written: "They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever."[a] Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.

As a former Christian, these people are the least Christ-like people I've ever seen. They are the polar *opposite*.

They're *hurting* the poor! Smh
