Strengthen Colorado’s AI Act Powerful institutions are using automated decision-making against us. Fortunately, workers, patients, and renters are resisting. The Colorado AI Act is a good step in the right direction. Still, EFF

Colorado is off to an important start with its AI Act, which protects us from automated decision-making. Now that state should strengthen its law, and other states should enact their own laws. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

This action is taking direct aim at Target, for caving to this administration's biased attacks on DEl; Home Depot, for allowing and colluding with ICE to kidnap our neighbors on their properties; and Amazon, for funding this administration to secure their own corporate tax cuts.

"Here’s what we don’t say out loud: There’s no money in journalism anymore. No fame, no glamour, no prestige. But there’s lots and lots of money in mediaβ€”in being a brand, an influencer, a personality. We stopped paying journalists and started rewarding performers."

Indeed, some of the earliest petitions and what we’d now call letters to the editors that circulated in print media in the early americas were manifestos, and other political writings from enslaved and free Black people arguing for abolition and/or return to Africa.

A tweet from β€œAdam Mockler @adammockler” reads:
β€œStephen Miller just went on Fox News and said telling troops to refuse illegal orders is an β€˜open act of insurrection.’ He is telling on himself.
They are planning to give illegal orders, and they want a military that will follow them blindly.”

AOC on MTG retiring:
"She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office.

She is saying a lot but her ACTIONS have not backed up the rhetoric. For all her talk, she's STILL voting with them to gut healthcare and advance self-dealing corruption schemes."

Douglas Adams Hitchhikers Guide quote: "Vogon poetry is of course the third worst in the Universe. The second worst is that of the Azgoths of Kria. During a recitation by their Poet Master Grunthos the Flatulent of his poem "Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in My Armpit One Midsummer Morning" four of his audience members died of internal haemorrhaging, and the President of the Mid-Galactic Arts Nobbling Council survived by gnawing one of his own legs off. Grunthos is reported to have been "disappointed" by the poem's reception, and was about to embark on a reading of his twelve-book epic entitled My Favorite Bathtime Gurgles when his own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save life and civilization, leapt straight up through his neck and throttled his brain. The very worst poetry of all perished along with its creator, Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings of Greenbridge, Essex, England, in the destruction of the planet Earth."

"Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings" has been superimposed with "Robert F Kennedy Jr"

Luckily, it's not nearly as contagious as early covid. We are fortunate to have mRNA vaccines in our defensive arsenal. The Spanish flu had avian origin. Another major pandemic is still possible.
