Headline: Why Aren't the Kids Out Protesting Trump?

"No More Trump": Protesters Denouncing the President Unite Across the Country

Near the White House, Hundreds of High School Students Protest ICE

"Protesters Denounce Trump Immigration Tactics in 'National Shutdown'"

NYT runs a nonsense op-ed by an 84-year-old man yelling at cloud about darn kids that is on face directly contradicted by months of its own reporting.

This is literally what Unrivaled does.

In exchange for public funding for the Moda Center, I want at least two strings attached:

1. Guaranteed cheep/free seats for residents (perhaps through the MultCo library card, like cultural passes to the ballet and Japanese Garden)

2. Street pricing on concessions like PDX (bc why is beer $17??)

TRUMP: "I'm gonna fuckin' blow up all the fuckers! I wanna use all the bombs before I die! Helter skelter! Helter skelter! Race war! Race war! Fuck Easter and fuck you, too!"

NEWS: "Trump promises to strengthen military in early morning Easter greeting."

NYT: Iran War Live Updates: Trump Escalates Threat to Hit Iranian Power Plants After U.S. Rescues Downed Airman President Trump used an expletive-laden social media post to taunt Iranian leaders, saying that the United States would attack if they did not fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

NYT: President Trump on Sunday escalated his threats to bomb Iranian power plants within the next two days and taunted the country’s leaders in an expletive-laden social media post. Mr. Trump, seemingly emboldened by the successful U.S. rescue of an American airman in Iran over the weekend, issued a new ultimatum to Iran to end its chokehold over the Strait of Hormuz, a major Persian Gulf waterway for the transport of oil and gas, by Apr. 6. If Iran’s government did not, he said, U.S. forces would target the country’s energy infrastructure, which supplies power for millions of civilians. “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” Mr. Trump wrote on social media. The president has previously postponed his deadline to attack twice and the Omani foreign ministry said on Sunday that officials had discussed how to reopen the Strait of Hormuz with Iranian counterparts without reaching a definitive agreement.

“Praise be to Allah,” Mr. Trump added, before signing off in all caps. Iran has threatened to retaliate by intensifying its attacks on critical infrastructure in Israel and Arab states that are allied with the United States. An escalation could further derail the lives of civilians throughout the region and add to worries about the global economy, which has been rattled by soaring energy prices since the start of the war. Over the past two days, the U.S. military has been in a race with Iranian armed forces to find the missing airman after an F-15E jet was shot down over Iran on Friday, in the first known instance of a U.S. combat aircraft since the start of the war. The plane’s pilot was quickly rescued. But a second officer was stranded in Iran and injured in the incident. American commandoes found the airman deep inside Iranian territory under the cover of darkness.

The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane

Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”

Sorry to hear of your loss, Wade. Sending you and your family love.

Tenn. library director fired over refusal to move LGBTQ+ books to adult section A county board near Nashville voted to dismiss Luanne James, who said she stands by her decision, in the latest clash in a national debate over access to books.

“‘All I’m going to say is that I stand by my decision,’ she said…

“Much of the audience at the board meeting broke into cheers and applause after her statement.

Chants of ‘shame’ were heard as board members voted to fire her...”

Hey cartoonists, do not sign on for this. If they aren’t paying animators or authors, they sure as hell aren’t paying livable graphic novel advances.

Fundraiser for librarian Luanne James, who stood up to her rightwing library board that demanded she remove kids books with any trace of LBGTQ+ characters or content.

"I will not comply."

They sacked her and cops escorted her out.

She's a hero. This banned author just donated.

I can't get over people whining, "But what if I'm baaaad at that?!" in response to everyone telling them not to outsource their creativity to fucking AI. Who raised you? What did they teach you? Fuck all, apparently, because being shit at something isn't an excuse to cheat. Come on.

I don't mean to brag but many of my friends are authors, and I am an author, and also we would all rather die than use AI to do even a fraction of our craft.

AI in art is for cowards unwilling to be vulnerable for long enough to learn.

The prompt is the easy part. Always has been.

Try it out! But... not every browser can handle it. This is taking the browser to its limit. Chrome has some issues. Safari too. Bugs will be filed.

Always disappointing!
