In a country with a functioning media every single republican up to and including the president would be pressed over and over about the absolute shambles of this illegal war and its destructive effect on the global economy as well as people’s lives

Yes to this. Get kids (and adults) off the algorithm-poisoned screens & apps and back into real - fact-checked, edited, written by human beings - books, newspapers, magazines, academic journals. Thinking for yourself and making your own reading choices is good.

We need artificial empathy. AI spits out words. Sometimes they're accurate words. But if they're not expressing the feeling behind them they don't work.

According to a report in The Bookseller, only translators with 'above average skills' will survive AI. Has nobody used Google translate and it's very average skills? Yes, it gets the words but not always the meaning. All my translations are by humans. I absolutely want that to continue.

Why do American news presenters act as though they’re in some manic drama show? This is unwatchable

The Iranians are saying that all Trump’s pronouncements are lies. They’re able to say this because they know reality is reality and not whatever is going on in his head. Something the sycophants in the GOP can’t quite grasp.

Every time I click on a photo within a Bluesky post I get shunted back to the beginning of my timeline. This is truly starting to turn me off Bluesky

There is no amount of money, oil, or gold that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.

They are not scared of him. They’re enabling him because it both feeds their inherent fascism and is making them lots of money. They hate poor people. And poor is anyone earning less than $1million pa. The GOP will never do “their job” because it’s a different job than you think
