Once again, the correct and obvious answer to "Will you vote for Gavin Newsom for president in November 2028?" is as follows:

"I will not, because he will not be the Democratic nominee."

I'm asking you politely: Please don't litter on the internet? AI generated art and music smells.

If you haven’t read @brian-goldstone.bsky.social’s book, I cannot overstate how good it is.

MAGA fuckos are def backing this bill but this is a key moment in which it's incredibly important to know that MAGA GOP did not originate this bill or its idea. Abortion criminalization is a priority for the abortion "abolitionist" lobby; they write model bills and shill them to GOP lawmakers.

This is a great watch! Particularly the bit explaining the scientific study on easily digestible vs challenging art and how any audience can find pleasure in consuming challenging art, and if you don't "get it" that doesn't mean you're stupid, because what's important is to try to engage with it.

Accidents happen

But they still cause injury

Even if you don’t mean to do it

Accidents cause injury

Take care of the injury even if its an accident

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON This cartoon has eight panels. Panel 1 A woman and a man are walking down a city sidewalk, chatting. The woman is looking a little irritated; the man is holding up a finger in a “that gives me an idea!” gesture. WOMAN: You know the genre of political cartoon I hate? Pro-life cartoons with a fetus lecturing from inside a womb! MAN: I should draw one of those! Panel 2 This panel, and almost all the remaining panels, show a fetus inside a vaguely drawn womb shape, which is itself in a blank void. The fetus, who is drawn to look like a baby rather than like a fetus, is smiling and talking directly to the reader. FETUS: Hi folks! I’m Frank the friendly fetus, talking from inside the womb! Panel 3 A close-up of the smiling fetus’ face. He’s pointing at his head with one finger. FETUS: Except not really, because you know what? My cerebral cortex isn’t functioning yet! Panel 4 FETUS: So I can’t talk! Or think! Or feel anything at all – not even pain! Panel 5 The fetus is giving the “thumbs up” gesture with both hands. FETUS: So if you need an abortion, go for it! It’s okay! I literally feel nothing and have no preferences! Panel 6 For the first time, the fetus looks serious rather than smiling. It’s raising a forefinger to make a point. FETUS: I’m not a person! But the pregnant person is! So it’s up to them to decide! Panel 7 This panel shows a dark-haired pregnant woman, in a dress and carrying a purse, walking through what looks like a park. The word balloon leads down to her pregnant stomach. FETUS: Speaking of which, pro-life cartoons often show wombs floating in a blank void. Notice who they’re leaving out? Panel 8 A shot of the smiling fetus, who is holding up a medical instrument in one hand. FETUS: In summary: Abort me! Or don’t! It’s your choice! FETUS: Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

HI, I'm twelve.

“but i havent ever dealt with (thing that happens to black people) so how can i sympathize” I DUNNO MAN SURELY YOU HAVE FELT SAD BEFORE? FELT MAD? Black people feel all those same emotions but we sure do get punished for showing any emotion because how dare us for being human actually.

Remember when I said NYC Mayor is one of the most powerful executive offices in the country? Honestly a lot of it is this kind of stuff. In many jurisdictions "I'm gonna hire 1000 people for a couple days for $30/hr" would require months hearings and council votes to actually do.

It's Official: the Cybertruck is More Explosive than the Ford Pinto - FuelArc News We now have a full year of data for the Cybertruck, and a strange preponderance of headlines about Cybertrucks exploding into flames, including several fatalities. That’s more than enough data to comp...

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold.

The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold.

West Virginia National Guard to deploy troops in Washington after Trump loses court battle over DC Police At the request of the president, West Virginia is sending in troops from its National Guard to support President Trump's efforts in Washington, D.C.

Imagine for a second if the California Guard were deployed into Austin, Texas— the tearing of hair and piercing shrieking of right-wing pundits pitched so high that almost only dogs rats and mosquitoes could hear it.

But DC & it's ~700k residents don't have either statehood or representation so 🤷🏾‍♂️🫠

Relevant to AI writing, Toni Morrison, Octavia E. Butler, and Sonia Sanchez noted that many want to be writers but don’t wanna write.

As Morrison said, “Writing has become almost a celebrity thing in the sense that people don’t want to write; they want to be authors. And that’s quite different.”

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.

Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.

It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.

One of my favourite descriptions in older literature is "a person of strange fascinations". Depending on context, it means they're either a weird sex pervert or a colossal nerd, and it's handy to have a phrase that can mean both of those things because in my experience they're often found together!

20 years after Hurricane Katrina, we remember the storm and the injustice it exposed. Poor, Black, elderly, and transit-dependent people faced the worst harm. Dr. Robert D. Bullard warned evacuation plans failed to protect those at risk. Read full report: https://ow.ly/4rUw50YiLbp
