Seriously though, if you get called for jury duty, GO!

They are trying this shit all over the country and we need sane people in jury boxes.

Please stop falling for the MTG is a new person con.

Please.

Here’s @realgdt.bsky.social in NYC expanding on his rallying cry of ‘fuck AI!’, talking about how art and even love come from shared pain and movies can save your life. This shit made me and others in the audience cry as much as his version of Frankenstein…

What Stuart Stevens says is perfectly obvious, and something you will not see reflected in any of the major media coverage.

Awful.

Tell your Representatives: The Time to Act is Now The more people that Congress hears from, the more likely they are to act.

The Constitution gave Congress the power to hold presidents accountable. They’ve given it away. Tell your representatives to show courage, stand up to corruption, and do their job. Sign the petition NOW: represent.us/courage4social

"To any governors or state legislators out there... if you are in a position where you have the power to redraw your maps... if you have the ability to meet this moment with the urgency that it deserves, I'm calling on you to do exactly what we're doing in California and to fight fire with fire."

A clearly addled Donald Trump wandering off from the Prime Minister and then saluting the Japanese flag. He looks like he doesn't even know where he is.

LOOKING AT YOU NORTH CAROLINA (NC): The North Carolina General Assembly is contemplating Trump's call for gerrymandering. The public comment period is now open, so make your voices heard about how terribly BAD this idea is.

About Red States on #NoKings:

Red State Dems often feel invisible. Unseen. But we are here. We’re doing the work. Often in hostile places. In the places nobody else dares to go. Despite gerrymanders, voter suppression, and without support.

But we keep showing up.

Don’t count us out.

Count us in.

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday.

Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms.

While you still can.

Trump admits he’s ‘not Heaven-bound’: "I’m not sure I’m going to make it."

Robert De Niro: “Now we have a would-be king — King Donald the First. Fuck that. I’m Robert De Niro and I’m asking you to stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18th”

Despite the ongoing horrors, protesters have been met with pretty much non-stop honks of support from drivers and truckers passing by this morning.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Never never never give up

"If we lose hope, we're doomed."

We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

Thank you Jane Goodall for a lasting legacy of conservation, service to all of us, and for always being brave.

The artificial intelligence industry has a big problem: 95% of companies that try AI aren’t making any money from it, according to a recent report.

AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds The AI industry's claims about AI coding assistants boosting productivity significantly appear to be massively overblown, per a new report.

“In a new report, management consultants Bain & Company found that despite being ‘one of the first areas to deploy generative AI,’ the ‘savings have been unremarkable’ in programming.”
