Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

WOW!!! In a short time, Katie Phang has built one of the fastest growing YouTube channels in the world โ€” and is under 4K subscribers away from hitting 300K!

What a win for indie media! Can we help Katie hit this milestone?

I would imagine this was a mission for the convicted felon who was pretty upset when the FBI raided Mar-A-Largo.

Krishnamoorthi on the FBI raiding Bolton's house: "It looks like it's also an attempt to distract from the other big news of the day, which is the first production of the Epstein files that is required by subpoena from the Oversight Committee and they want to change the conversation."

Donโ€™t criticize Dear Leader, his fragile ego just canโ€™t handle it.
Expect retribution, more bully posts, silly name calling, just what youโ€™d expect from an American president.

Rupert Murdochโ€™s Fox News paid out billions of dollars for lying about the 2020 election, chump change for a prolific liar.

ICE agents in Lynwood, CA tried to break into a barbershop without a warrant. When the owner refused to open the door, they threatened him: โ€œIโ€™m going to go get your dad and Iโ€™m going to get your mom!โ€

Check this shit!

Earlier today, ICE tried to break into private property in Lynwood, California โ€” no judicial warrant, no authority. Acting like thugs, not federal agents.

Spoiler alert: Lynwood does not play. This trio of goons got sent packing.
