It's an example of "crabs in the bucket mentality" or "tall poppy syndrome" where people in similar circumstances are manipulated into a toxic worldview that causes them to keep one another from succeeding.

I had the same experience. My weekend was great, filled with fun family time, productive projects, and watching the Bills beat the Chiefs with a group of friends.

Then, Monday morning came 'round and that black rectangle of rage sucked me back in.

Trump is intentionally making people -- children! -- ho hungry to feed their lust for power.

These people are sadists who feel bigger when they put other people down.

Who looks at this and thinks, "Yep, that's the kind of leader we need!"?

In order to help prevent people from going hungry due to the SNAP shutdown, I am seeking legislative approval of a $1 million allocation to @feedmorewny.org to purchase 354,000 pounds of food for local food pantries. 140,000 county residents rely on SNAP. We must help them in their time of need.

Here's a thought: if you can't run a profitable business without endangering lives and destroying the environment, you should shut the business down.

We are your externality.

Millions of Americans are already learning that their health insurance costs for 2026 are going way up.

I want to hear from you so we can make this impossible for the GOP to ignore the consequences of their policies.

If your premiums are going up, reply below and please share your story.

Yesterday we talked a little bit about SNAP ending and how everyone who can, should give back to their communities. I'm going to spend a little time today talking about what to give.

Trump can throw a temper tantrum and try to get this ad pulled off of TV, but the words of Ronald Reagan cannot be silenced - and it's clear as day that even Reagan would think what Trump was doing right now on trade was completely asinine.

Republicans in Congress have abandoned their duty to you and The Constitution.
Mike Johnson keeps them home yet again instead of working to reopen the govt bc Tr*mp doesn't want the Epstein Files released.
The destruction of our democracy is squarely on the shoulders of GOP in Congress.

Wow! Very impressive for them to do all of this in 2020 while Trump was president and they weren't in the government! Very normal post from the President of the United States!

Pentagon Accepts $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops During Shutdown

If Thatโ€™s a donation, it goes to the treasury and only congress can decide how to spend it. No such (lawful) thing as private payment of government obligation.

If the federal government shutdown continues, all SNAP benefits will be placed on hold in November, impacting 140,000 county residents and removing $27.8 million monthly from the county's economy.

The county cannot afford to makeup that amount on a monthly basis, nevertheless indefinitely. 1/2

We need laws that hold LLM model creators responsible to some degree for the content their model generates. That sounds hard because it is, but it's not impossible.

At the same time, users of these models cannot be absolved of responsibility because "the AI did it."
