Decompressing from walking on eggshells for the past four years.

@PulpHerb Unfortunately, like many labels that may have been somewhat justified at the very start, it has been liberally and widely applied to all women who complain.

[Justine Bateman @JustineBateman]

- First comedy and satire was targeted. The elements that keep a society largely in check.
- Next was masculinity. Men were shamed as “toxic” for being manly.
- Then it was women who complain, and they were labeled “Karens.”

So if appropriate mockery is out, the most ridiculous concepts actually see the light of day.
If men aren’t permitted to defend what they know they should, the most harmful and dangerous concepts see the light of day.
And when older women are shamed for speak against what they see as wrong, the most outrageous behavior sees the light of day.
Comedy, satire, mockery, masculinity, and female wisdom. Restore it all now.

I guess don’t shop at @GroceryOutlet in the Bay Area.
Facial recognition cameras scan every customer to “combat shoplifting.”
Lol. Get your reps to actually prosecute shoplifting. That’s your problem.
You might as well say you’ve installed these cameras to combat climate change. It’s a BS excuse to surveil people.

MINORITY REPORT: Medical Bureau

[J. J. Ellis @jjellisart]

I said this about AI well over a year ago. Using it to diagnose and fire people with medical conditions so they lose their insurance AND their income is somehow even more heartless and evil than I’d predicted.

[Justine Bateman @JustineBateman]

It would probably be more relevant to get quotes about AI video outputs from people who are still making films in this business.

[Variety @Variety]

George Lucas says AI makes it "much easier for us to make movies" and "there’s nothing you can do about it. That’s progress, it’s the future.”

“Artificial intelligence means it’s much easier for us to make movies. It’s very much like sitting here saying, ‘Well, I believe the horse and the buggy is really where it’s at. These cars, they break down, they need gas, there’s all kinds of problems with them and pretty soon they’ll be making them into tanks, and then they’ll be killing people. It’s terrible.’ There’s nothing you can do about it. That’s progress, it’s the future.” (via A Rabbit's Foot)

I am not aligned with any particular political party. But I am aligned with being an American and defending the kind of government we have here that has made this country possible.
The DSA platform is treason.

[Speaker Mike Johnson @SpeakerJohnson]

THE BARBARIANS ARE INSIDE THE GATE!

We are fighting right now in Congress over whether we're going to maintain our status as a constitutional republic OR trade that in, dismantle the foundations and GO DOWN THIS DARK ROAD OF DEATH TO COMMUNISM.

THAT is the question.

[Justine Bateman @JustineBateman]

Submit your non-AI films so we can see what you’ve got. We believe in human talent. @_CREDO23_

[CREDO23 @_CREDO23_]

Oh, yeah. The 3rd annual CREDO 23 Film Festival SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN for your non-AI films. We give all the festival $$$ away to the accepted filmmakers.
So far we’ve granted an average of $3500 to each filmmaker.
Show us what you’re got! https://t.co/eZVRvs0SEW

[Justine Bateman @JustineBateman]

I’ll vote for anyone who wants to make sure our tax dollars aren’t just flushed down the toilet. #NewsomKingofFraud

[Jennifer Hawks for State Treasurer @VoteHawks]

The state government thinks they can police everyone else, but who is policing Sacramento?

A staggering $425 billion in waste and fraud has been uncovered, and it is absolutely infuriating. While they try to distract us, our hard-earned tax dollars are vanishing into a black hole of zero accountability. It’s simple: if you steal from the taxpayers, you belong in jail.

I’m running for California State Treasurer to bring radical transparency back to our state, open up the books, and find out exactly where your money went. Who is ready to clean house? Let's get to work!

[Justine Bateman @JustineBateman]

@ArsenioOrteza Haha.

[Justine Bateman @JustineBateman]

We have “freedom of religion” in the US, not “freedom of law.”
Any attempts to replace our law, constitution, etc with another form should be strictly viewed as an act of war. @DeptofWar @SecWar

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

A warning to America

- Islam is here to conquer America
- Everyone will be under Sharia Law
- All non-Muslims will pay a Jizya tax
- Islam is Government

“When Muslims conquer the land, people either had to convert to Islam through the sword. If they didn't want to convert, they had to pay jizya. It's like a tax. Like if you live in Muslim land and you're not Muslim, you have to pay jizya. Every country that moves away from Islam or religion for that matter progresses”

“Islam is here to govern. Islam is a political religion, so it's very hard to separate it from politics. You have a lot of freedoms in this country, and the reason for that is because Islam is not mixed with your politics. Trust me, it's not fun, so don't let that happen to you”

Many prominent voices have been sounding this same alarm

Islam is not a religion, Islam is government, it’s a civilization. It is a civilization that’s duty-bound according to the Quran to install Sharia Law worldwide

[Justine Bateman @JustineBateman]

Sooooo, you’re saying there are a group of candidates who cannot win without people who can’t prove their identity voting in our elections?
Whoops.

[Justine Bateman @JustineBateman]

Gavin Newsom is a deluded weirdo. Taking credit for @elonmusk’s success?
LOLOLOL

[Chief Nerd @TheChiefNerd]

Gavin Newsom Says Elon Musk is ‘Turning His Back’ on California

“Regulation in California created the conditions that allowed him to take the risk to become the multi-billionaire, maybe trillionaire, that he’s become … Now he’s turning his back on the state that promoted him.”

[Justine Bateman @JustineBateman]

“California Democracy,” aka despotism.
The will of the voters doesn’t exist here.
If @GavinNewsom doesn’t like something the voters overwhelmingly approved, he just doesn’t fund it and it lays there, unrealized.

[Ashley Zavala @ZavalaA]

"Without funding, it doesn't go anywhere."

It's been two years since CA voters overwhelmingly passed Prop 36 to ramp up penalties for repeat thieves and drug dealers.

Sacramento County Sheriff Jim Cooper criticized state leaders for not doing more for the will of the voters

[Justine Bateman @JustineBateman]

Good for you @UChicagoLaw. Sounds like you care about students, and about the future of law.

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

University of Chicago is attempting to stop students from relying on artificial intelligence

“As part of a broader strategy to curb AI usage, the University of Chicago Law School is banning first-year students from using phones and laptops in the classroom. The school says it's to, quote, ensure students actually learn to think critically, strategically, and independently without relying on AI, end quote”

More on this policy:

Classroom ban is a pilot for 2026–2027. No phones, laptops or tablets in core 1L courses

The goal is to force students to think critically and independently during class time, when AI reliance is most tempting and damaging to early skill-building

All Exams will be In-class, closed-book, no internet, electronic access or apps allowed. This directly prevents AI use during testing

[Justine Bateman @JustineBateman]

These people are ridiculous.
They have lost all tethers to a sense of self. Their entire identity now relies on this treasonous hate of America. They make up fantasies of how horrible America never was to justify their need to "fight tyranny." They have no identity but this. And they cling to it with a death grip, because they have nothing else.
None of it is true. Not the fantasy about America about which she is shrieking, not her identity of believing herself to be some "hero" in a movie about an oppressive government, and not the resulting congress-free, senate-free, President-free, childish (and completely chaotic) future she sees for this country.
She is an infant.
She and others like her will not get their way. Not even close. If you have a modicum of common sense, it's time to let your line in the sand about tolerance be made known.
Myself, I have a limit to tolerance.
I have a limit to patience.
I know there is a limit to free speech.
If your plan is to tear down the United States of America, if your plan is treason, I will not tolerate you, I will have zero patience for you, and I will not defend your right to free speech.

Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib: “The political structures that we are surrounded by were built on slavery and genocide and oppression. Look at this room, motherf******. We aren’t going anywhere. Now we’re in Congress and every corner of the United States.”

[Justine Bateman @JustineBateman]

“The measure aims to reduce landfill waste by making manufacturers financially responsible for the packaging they sell after it is thrown away.
It charges companies impact fees on products they sell while also requiring them to phase out packaging that cannot be adequately reused, recycled or composted.”
The cost will be passed onto the customer. Another winner from CA governance.

Misery for California shoppers as grocery bills set to spike due to new law https://t.co/HIdkttfvBI

[Justine Bateman @JustineBateman]

The funniest line from this guy is “We’re not forcing Flock on anyone.”
That’s exactly what you’re doing, @glangley.
And LOL, referring to an absence of your privacy-invading, forced-surveillance cameras as “chaos” is childish and pathetic.
No one is going to make a sacred cow out of @Flock_Safety Cameras. Get used to sane people calling your product crap.
That’s not chaos, it’s just intelligence.

CEO of Flock: "Unfortunately, there’s terrorist organizations like DeFlock whose primary motivation is chaos. They’re closer to Antifa than they are anything else."
