A watercolor painting in hues of blue and grey. An old woman with long grey hair and blue skin stands facing the viewer with a stag by her side. She has a large halo like a snowflake around her head, with her hood drawn up, and she’s holding a twisted wooden staff. The stag has icicles in his antlers. The pair are surrounded by falling snowflakes. Here is the rest of the poem that would not fit in the post: February 1st dawns bright and clear, Cailleach comes out to herd her deer More wood for her hearth she seeks To warm her home for six more weeks. February 1st dawns stormy grey, Cailleach sleeps the day away. Her hearth glows warm with smoke curling, She knows spring is coming early.

February 1st dawns bright and clear,
Cailleach comes out to herd her deer
More wood for her hearth she seeks
To warm her home for six more weeks.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

I have a rage headache.

So, veterans are standing up against the administration’s tyranny, so you’re going to smear them. Fuck you.

“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.” - Voltaire.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I don't know how to yell any louder.

I stand with PBS.

I stand with NPR.

I stand with Stephen Colbert.

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.

I stand with the First Amendment.

PERIOD.*

Free speech to them has always meant that they can say whatever vile disgusting racist misogynist thing they want with no consequences— but if you make fun of them online they have the right to sue.

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States: (a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip; (b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide; (c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law; (d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide; (e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. 258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court: (a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants; (b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

I refused to fly the flag at half-mast at work today. I no longer care if they fire me.

God, what must it feel like to see all the flags flying half mast last week for your kid killed in a school shooting and seeing them half mast this week for a dude who said actually school shootings are "worth it"

Not enough people know that you don't hear about the holes in the ozone layer anymore because an international agreement banning production of chlorofluorocarbons was wildly successful and the ozone has recovered since.

Change is possible.

None of this is inevitable.

We can choose differently.

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
