Can someone, anyone explain why of the zillion filters on Libby "exclude books I've already borrowed" is not one of them????

The kind of people that would do this to children are literally capable of anything. We should all be a lot more scared & resistant than we currently are.

Someone on my local nextdoor is reporting on the UFO they saw over the cemetery last night & the responses are really something.

If you think AI is smarter than you it probably is. I've never had one instance of finding it useful or helpful. It can't get basic CS agent scripts right so if you think it's going to take over the world, best of luck.

Much love for my curtain twitching neighbor that stopped someone who was trying to hit & run my parked car. Don't need A Ring if you have a Rudy!

sounds like they should quit.

Disgusting & horrifying but unsurprising. (The answer to how many BTW is 20 - that we know of)

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

You can tell how serious he is about this bc who doesn't yuck it up when discussing sex crimes.

218 people voted to fund the child kidnapping ring and masked death squads.

if you cant instruct your local police to surround schools to protect them from ice because youre scared the cops will turn around and instead help kidnap children then you should state that plainly and clearly

Opinion | How Trump Has Used the Presidency to Make at Least $1.4 Billion The president took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he’s focused his second term on enriching himself and his family.

Here's a plain-spoken and accessible editorial - based in part on @reuters.com reporting - that outlines how much Donald Trump has enriched himself since taking power, and why that's so dangerous for democracy.

Mike Johnson compellingly making the case for abolishing ICE ...

Authoritarians use performative lying to mark who is for, and more importantly, against their regimes.

The point isn’t determining truth. The point is creating an ingroup whose loyalty is assured through ritually denying reality and an easily recognizable outgroup that refuses the delusion.

It doesn't have to be the ideal thing, it doesn't have to be huge and splashy, it doesn't have to help millions of people, just pick ONE THING that will use your skills to help people and do it regularly. You will feel SO MUCH FUCKING BETTER.

What they do to nameless civilians abroad they want to do to you here as much as they think they can get away with

Just so fucking grim.

In case it isn’t clear yet, the fascists are carrying out a project where they drain all programs focused on the public good and well-being and dividing the money between themselves, their friends, and new programs designed to oppress and control.

Four alternatives to Spotify: swapping is easier than you think Artists and listeners are leaving the platform after its CEO invested in defence technology. Here are your options – along with how to keep your playlists

fuck then fuck again every single “alternatives to spotify” list that doesn’t include buying music so that you own it and musicians get paid

You just can't say it enough times: lots of Americans are going to suffer and die so that people they don't want to be Americans will also suffer and die.

This is how they treat a state senator who was asking a question at a press conference when they know they are being filmed, what do you think this means for civilians?

In theory this is the most simple case for AI to get right. A list of actual books that exist to read. That’s it. But it can’t even do that. So are we going to let it make insurance decisions? Really?

Just got a notice that the scour is charging a credit card processing fee going forward so here's the first increased input to my 100% US made yarn. B to B services charging a CC fee is one of my bugbears.

About 90% of Migrants Deported to El Salvador Had No US Criminal Record Trump administration officials have described the men deported to El Salvador prisons last month as “the worst of the worst,” suggesting they were gang members involved in murder, rape and kidnapping.

90 percent. They sent innocent people to a gulag so Trump could look like a tough guy. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The intermingling of fascist paramilitary and propaganda groups with the federal government is a literal hallmark of fascism.

Do with that information what you will and really sit with what it means that a stochastic terrorist is now essentially deputized by the state to do as she pleases.

Is now a good time to say that people convicted of crimes deserve rights, due process, and not to be deported, let alone to a third country slave prison

I don't give a shit what he chooses or declines to rule out. It's not his fucking choice. Stop writing about it as if his opinion matters. Write about it like it is: unquestionably illegal, not a debate, not his call, not going to fucking happen.

AI art is the aesthetic of fascism

Though not the most wild part of this, I do find it interesting the "people only wear masks to do bad things crowd" makes sure to mask up while kidnapping students off the streets. And we cannot be resigned to this as normal or acceptable.
