People can’t fucking afford groceries. Bragging about taxpayers paying for your luxuries isn’t the flex you think it is.

[𝗠𝘂𝗵𝗲𝗲 ♛ @muheediva01]

The wildest part about POVERTY is how much time it steals. Waiting for buses. Calling assistance offices. Comparing grocery prices. Fighting insurance. Sitting at laundromats. Being poor is a second job nobody pays you for.

Don’t EVER. Allow anyone. To cut down a healthy tree. Not ANYWHERE. Ever.

We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas

Sometimes I think about the time an early hominid found a rock in a stream that looked like a little face and carried it >20 miles home to his cave with him and I start crying

Wow. A Lancet study says Elon Musk will have killed 14 million people by 2030. Lancet is the world's top medical journal.
