The Pope is a great example of the idea that cruelty is actually dumb and that kindness and openness come from intelligence. A great juxtaposition to the (techno)fascists of our time. It takes a mind to create a better world, it takes zero to destroy it.
“You’re going to get left behind if you don’t use AI.”
Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long-form, and books without needing AI summaries.
ever since my third baby was born I have been constantly "looking for" my fourth baby that I seem to believe exists
Ex: when we go out and the older ones are running around, I count the baby, toddler, 5yo, then look for "the other one"
I suspect this is because my somatic tracking of my children only knows how to count with a "1, 2, many" system but if it turns out the cringe Instagram ladies are right about spirit babies I'm going to be so mad 😂
maybe it's a premonition
some of us actually just believe humans deserve better & that together we could get better. I wish you guys would stop aligning your takes with the billionaires hoarding all the wealth & making you believe the problem is poor people & not them being pests to humanity & earth.
So Republicans can gerrymander the entire south in a matter of 2 days but when Dems take it to an actual vote (and win) it gets tossed. Great fucking country we have. 👍
People keep saying “did we learn nothing from Covid?” and what the ruling class learned is that the masses will happily engage in the politics of disposability when it comes to public health so here we are. Enjoy.
i don't think some people realize that they won't have a future to plan or worry about if they don't focus on what's happening to the world at this very moment.
respectfully, please get out of your bubble.
Any student of history will tell you this is an extremely dangerous moment.
People like Trump who make wild threats to do insane homicidal things again and again are full of shit—until they aren’t.
All the safeguards are gone.
The generals have been removed.
Our allies have been alienated.
Congressional Republicans will follow Trump to the apocalypse.
We really are on the razor’s edge of total disaster here and millions if not billions of lives hang in the balance.
My problem with the “he wouldn’t actually do it” and “institutional checks would step in to stop him” arguments regarding any of Trump’s unhinged threats is that we are in this position precisely because, at every prior stage, he did do it and nobody stepped in to stop him.
i do not care if Trump's comments result in nothing tonight. no one who even thinks of saying the phrase "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" should be allowed to operate an ice cream stand, nevermind the most powerful office on the planet
