@_uncoolniece I do not believe this man is really Zohran Mamdani’s brother.

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

Europe is baking in one of its most extreme spring heatwaves on record: 🇮🇪 Ireland: 87°F (31°C) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Wales: 91°F (33°C) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England: 95°F (35°C) 🇫🇷 France: 102°F (39°C) 🇵🇹 Portugal: 104°F (40°C) 🇪🇸 Spain: 102°F (39°C) It's still only May.

Large parts of India have been approaching “feels like” temps near 50°C. Some coastal regions may reach ~33°C wet-bulb. At 35°C wet-bulb, heat and humidity overwhelm the human body’s ability to cool itself. Survival becomes measured in hours, especially for the elderly & infants

Zohran Mamdani met with FIFA for months and worked to get New Yorkers a chance to see the World Cup for only $50, with a free bus ride. Ticketmaster is selling the same ticket for $500+... Imagine how much brainwashing it took to convince people that socialist progressive policies are bad for the people

To understand the stakes of the progressive vs. centrist fight to control the Democratic Party, just compare Zohran's term so far with Spanberger's. Zohran: - Free childcare for 2-year-olds - Banned junk fees - Filled 100,000 potholes - New bike and bus lanes across the city - Wealth tax on luxury second homes - Millions of dollars won for tenants and thousands of apartments repaired Spanberger: - Vetoed bill to let public workers unionize - Vetoed bill allowing class-action lawsuits - Vetoed bill to stop warrantless arrests by ICE - Vetoed bill legalizing cannabis sales - Vetoed bill to lower prescription drug prices Trump was defeated in 2020, only to return in an even more dangerous form four years later. So we already know that it is not enough to beat MAGA once at the ballot box. If Dems don't pair their next electoral victory with Mamdani's commitment to positively improving people’s lives, rather than Spanberger's model of selling out to corporations, we are going to be right back in the maws of fascism one election later. And this time, we might not be facing an authoritarian as incompetent and self-defeating as Trump has been. newrepublic.com/article/210812…

I get it. It's hard to take your mind off of the daily crises in Washington. Trump's injustices move at breakneck speed. But we can't lose sight of local horrors. In blue states & cities. Inflicted by Democratic politicians. In San Francisco right now is the worst I've seen:

The atheism leaving my body the moment the Pope starts talking about how AI is an affront to God and the new Tower of Babel

Young people are always told what not to do. But what should you do? Did you know that most public libraries have a Nintendo Switch to use? That parks show free movies at night? That there's a map of pickup basketball games? Nyc.gov/summer is a map of free and affordable things to do this summer that we made just for you. Because public programs mean nothing if you don't know how to access them. 


The Yurok spearheaded the largest dam removal in U.S. history, dismantling four dams on the Klamath River. It restored more than 400 miles of salmon habitat, but the formerly submerged land needed to be restored. They planted millions of native plants & these are the results

READ: A short story that's happening right now. Something deeply dangerous in SF. A waste of taxpayer dollars. A decision driven by greed. One that will undermine community health & safety. No one knows about it. Please read & share. There's still time to change how it ends.

Congratulations, Twitter is good again.

I spent the last week digging through old articles and studies on racist policy like segregation, redlining, war on drugs etc. It’s SHOCKING how many “.gov” addresses and resources now end in “404 not found” They’ve deleted so much nobody realizes is gone.

between this and Jared Polis freeing an election denier, it’s yet another banner week of ass-showing for the Abundance delegation

Genuinely ruined the internet

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

@TheLastFarm @adamjohnsonCHI There used to be a lot more alternative schools within public school districts, but NCLB shut a lot of that down. It’s one thing to support public schooling in principle and work to improve them, it’s another to watch children suffer when their local schools fail them.

9 times out of 10 homeschooling is for lunatics, but things like COVID failures & mandatory AI justify it. Not a great solution, but I wouldn’t put my kid in this classroom
