gotta say today feels even more dystopian than usual

Truly tragic -- another life sacrificed to Big Tech's mass experiment unleashing human-like AI systems on the public.

There are now at least a dozen suicide deaths attributed to AI companions and companion-like products.

this meme is going around mushroom foraging groups so here’s my @publiccitizen.bsky.social report on the same subject www.citizen.org/news/mushroo...

Providence man finds large tegu while shoveling snow-covered driveway The New England Wildlife Center said a Providence man found a large tegu while shoveling his driveway.

News story here. I love Tegus and think they are highly intelligent animals with some characteristics of dogs. Probably should not be pets, and invasive in FL, but if so, they need to be treated like a dog or cat, not shoved in a tank, alone. turnto10.com/news/local/p...

A not-‘toned down’ Trump regime prepares for ethnic cleansing in Ohio A plan for immigration raids this week on thousands of Haitians in Springfield, Ohio shows that nothing has changed.

Trump's immigration human-rights nightmare isn't pulling back. It's about to get much worse

Very important vote. It makes repealing ICE surge funding the mainstream position in the party, with bipartisan support.

"nobody has any idea how to measure corporate power"

yeah, sure, ok...

Where I work, we measure corporate power in lots of ways. Just SOME of our metrics:

-campaign & lobbying expenditures
-corporate crime enforcement
