Something to remind us …

I think it’s disgusting the United States charges $100 per person visiting our country to enter a National Park. Embarrassing too!

@GovBobFerguson Please stand with House representatives who are backing bills to get AI out of healthcare decisions for those on Traditional Medicare and Med Advantage. HR 8375 HR 6361

AI is a technology with a lot of potential for our state. Like any new technology, we have to be mindful of potential consequences, so I'm proud Washington state is leading on common sense regulation with several bills I signed this year. I requested a bill this session to require AI companion chatbots like ChatGPT to implement protocols to detect and respond when an individual expresses thoughts of suicide or harming themselves. That's now law. It's challenging to determine what's made with AI. I signed a law requiring major AI companies to provide a commercially and technically reasonable way for Washingtonians to determine whether content was created or modified using artificial intelligence. I also signed laws restricting harmful uses of AI-generated images, including deceptive and nonconsensual deepfakes, and making it a crime to possess or distribute computer-generated images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Washington is a leader in protecting young people from the harmful effects of AI.

This is how we win!

This is the part people don’t understand. Those of us trying to avoid covid aren’t “afraid of a cold.” It’s the downstream heart problems, immune and cognitive dysfunction, cancers, etc. we don’t want.

In news that will get very little coverage, Mariska Hargitay's "End the Backlog Campaign" achieves rape kit reform in ALL 50 states, DC, and Puerto Rico. It's women who are going to save us. Thank you Mariska Hargitay.

This!

@BurressO @Opportunitweet I hope you can. My understanding is that copper lines are going away sometime in 2027. And some states don’t require companies to maintain them. Mountainous areas w dead spots may keep them? They’re expensive now. Basic is $100+ / month (w taxes and fees).

@Opportunitweet Truth! I’m renovating my house. When we move back in, I’m going to have a landline hooked up.

There is no legal requirement to have an email address, nor is there a requirement to have a cell phone or use certain apps. But our government and far too many corporations behave as though this is the case. It's a tremendous problem.

@AI_ImpactReport @Opportunitweet Right? When I despair, my IT guy tells me my only other choice is to go herd sheep in Wyoming. 🤣

@Opportunitweet Society is structured so that you can't function in it without those things. Only option is to live in the woods like a hermit, and even then.... Weird how that happens?

@LoneWolfMasker @cdtwriter That’s what they see in dr offices and pharmacies—hand sanitizer everywhere … bottles w pumps on countertops, dispensers in every hallway and exam room. Ironic that the mask is what triggers people into protection mode.

@cdtwriter Thank you. I wasn't sad for me I was sad for him. That he has no idea.... and like yourself I don't bother to try to educate them now, no point. It would be me against the mountain of propaganda and denial.

The Propaganda has been an outstanding success for the elites. Just home from visiting 3 big box stores. Naturally I was the only person wearing a mask of any kind. Got quite a few side eyes from various people, women this time. The young man at the grocery checkout 1/

I can’t imagine a home without a cat. I brought one with me from home (a sweet companion for a 400-mile drive across Dakota prairies), and she lived with me in my dorm over summer sessions. Shhhhh! Don’t tell!

@riyad319 @tranquil_orb We still are … 📿

@tranquil_orb We were all sunlight and flowers at some point

drinking tea with honey always feels a little unreal. when you think about it, i’m sipping something that used to be sunlight and flowers

How wonderful is this?

It’s so weird that every time SCOTUS declares racism to be no more than the Ghost of Voter Suppression Past, a bunch of states leap at the chance to do more racist voter suppression.

@ab_jay_ 🪷 I’m so sorry for your constant pressure, stress and anxiety. It’s not how people are meant to live day after day. Here for you. 🩵
