My employer Canterbury Shaker Village lost a small NEH grant. I wrote it. I used words such as "equality" and "citizenship." The same words were used in CHATGPT to cancel grants.
The same words are in the nation's founding documents.
Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.

there's no coherent policy based on convincing individuals of overwhelming scientific consensus. they need to be ostracized to convince others not to join them. Banning smoking in restaurants bars and airplanes was incredibly effective because it increased the social penalties of smoking
oh wow maybe we shouldn't have put all our money in a kiln and set it to 4500 degrees

It was so heartening to join the protest at Province House and see how big and diverse the crowd was. I hate that we have to do it, but I loved to see how many people care about our province.

'If the dancers aren't funded the dancers will leave', 'I've heard of "cancel culture" but this is ridiculous' and an empty frame reading 'poster no longer available due to cuts'

a four-panel stick-figure cartoon panel one: three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. panel two: the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested. panel three: as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-" panel four phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."

"Mr. Houston listens only to industries, facilitating their wish to make money by degrading the land and its freshwaters. Those who speak for nature and environmental consequences are labelled βthe enemy.β"
The city budget is fragile and we're on a downward spiral towards being broken.
Iran conflict: Rubio says US launched war on Iran after learning Israel planned to attack Secretary of state says US had to move βpreemptivelyβ to stop Iranian retaliation against American forces
so let me get this straight. attacking iran is justified because iran was going to attack US bases, only after israel attacked iran first. so instead of stopping israel from carrying out the attack, the US just had to bomb iran too.
In an interview with BBC, Green Party leader Zack Polanski described the US and Israeli attack on Iran as βillegal and unprovokedβ and warned that the UK government risks βdragging the country into another illegal war.β
The blatant Islamophobia that Keir Starmer is demonstrating through smearing Mothin Ali would be shocking - but it's becoming a pattern.
Smearing a caring man of principle for standing up for peace.

One of the signs Iβll be holding at tomorrowβs rally. Please be there if you can be.
Fuck Harry Potter.
Go play Metroid Prime Trilogy instead.

Mainstream political parties in #nspoli continue to fail to offer any hope at all for our struggling youth. They've chosen instead to protect their suburban donors' inflated property value, and their corporate backers' material interests.
(our party is free to join if you're under 30 btw π)
