Today, while listening to the news about Blue States and Red States and who loses more or gains what with the shit down and the ACA subsidy cuts vs. extensions, it occurred to me: US Congress are the new the Crips and Bloods. Congrats, @USCongress! I hope y’all feel proud.

@JaneotN Please don’t leave out Michigan. We are the natural first state to be incorporated… along w New York.

@StephenAtHome Nobody reported in this, but just between you and me: we also canceled Paramount. This soccer champion’s-league-loving family is suffering… but we know right from wrong.

Pete Buttigieg is very good at this: "Crime is down under Joe Biden and crime was up under Donald Trump. Now, I don't know how often that gets reported on this network, so if you're watching this at home, do yourself a favor and look up the data ... why would America want to go back to the higher crime that we experienced under Donald Trump?"

[Langston Blues @dradambanks]

Absolutely. And the claims and strategies of the rhetoric used to sell AI need far more attention, and imo, scrutiny. Companies producing these tools and systems are selling that cover.

I am deeply grateful to @PoetryShore for including m e in their summer issue. I've been away from the biz for some time, and it's nice to return with such a kind and caring crew of editors. Thank you, John, Sarah, and Caroline. https://t.co/OZfzLMPxfa

This male sumatran orangutan is Raku: he got a wound on his right cheek. Scientists were surprised to spot him applying a medicinal plant on his face: akar kuning (Fibranaurea tinctoria), a type of climbing vine that acts as an analgesic.

After about 8 days he applied the chewed stems and leaves of the plant, the wound began to heal and in approximately a month he completely recovered.

This series of observations undoubtedly constitutes the conclusive proof of the level of ingenuity that these majestic animals have.
