My battle in the Russian speaking world/Central Asia is to get tea WITH milk and WITHOUT sugar.

Balls and strikes, plus some pocket money.

Like, AI literacy in any form will not protect black and disabled folks from the algorithmic bias, and the violence that emerges from it, of spicy autocomplete. Full stop. No amount of AI literacy can protect us in the deployment of the system because it is tracking the wrong problem.

It’s predatory rent-seeking all the way down.

Boston also seems suspiciously low. The average driver would meet that quota in minutes.

I call bullshit because NYC is 4th on the list. Highly skeptical of this.

Obama doesn’t need a house because he lives rent free in Trump’s head.

This is a winning campaign platform.

Orange cat sitting in a cake container.

Tried a new orange cake recipe. Turned out well. Lightly toasted.

One reason that we cannot have professional diplomats representing the interests of the United States is that it would disrupt a pattern of personal enrichment for the Presidents allies and families.

The degree to which they are both evil and stupid is breathtaking.

Benny Hill music is playing in my head as I read this thread.

When you do shit like this, all you do is confirm the right wing narrative. Beshears needs to be smarter than this. Everyone is looking for a Sister Soulja moment. Don’t amplify the stupid, Andy.

Saaaame

He doesn’t know anything about monarchs or republics. He’s a very simple boy.

Bennu is the orangest orange cat. Thank god he has a good home because he wouldn’t survive five minutes on the streets.

this thing is amazing: 12–13th century BCE owl-shaped Chinese Zun bronze wine vessel! On display at Minneapolis Institute of Art, Gallery 214 🦉

Court reform has to be #1 on that list. The potential for every other part of the Second Reconstruction can only follow from that.

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

How do you avoid such bills being characterized as bills of attainder? (This is a serious question, not trolling)

The radical right understands the importance of the Court, which is why it has been their first order target since at least 2000. It took them almost two decades to fully realize their goals but their patience and persistence has paid off.

The Court can declare every one of those laws as an unconstitutional imposition on the authority of the executive. Literally everything is at risk if the court isn’t addressed first. The capture of the Supreme Court by radicals is the fundamental driver of our current crisis.

Book display called “who’s mentioned in the Epstein files? Find them here.” And it’s books by or about Trump, Melania, Oz, Woody, and so on

Currently in display at Minneapolis central library. You love to see it.

Any discussion of the post Trump agenda that doesn’t include court reform is dooming that agenda to failure. Fixing the Supreme Court should be the first order of business. #unpackthecourt

After reading all her posts on this thread I am convinced she’s actually a chatbot.

Somebody better warn Usha.

Look, this is an ahistorical view. There is a looooong history of people using religious faith to justify violence. We don’t have to deny that in order to point out that the current Pope is calling for peace and it’s weird for an allegedly believing Catholic to claim that the Pope is bad at theology

There’s a whole religious tradition devoted to reading and interpreting the scriptures for yourself, but it’s not Catholicism.

Lolsob

The status of the Pope seems like a pretty well-established principle. You can schism but you still need an antipope.
