“people still believe my mother drove Kyle or was somehow involved in his decision to go to Kenosha.”

Was she not sitting right there behind him in court supporting what he did?

my brother was involved in a tragic shooting incident,

Fuck you.

Either everyone needs TSA screening or we don't need it at all. Get rid of it. Problem solved.

I assumed she was losing custody as a result of the difficulties of caring for his medical needs as a single parent. But no, it's because they say she failed to protect her kids from her abuser. Yet when she called for help, what happened? It's the experience of most abused women that there is no help. And worse, that the systems designed to help do more harm. That's certainly the case here.

But they're banning printed books in libraries instead...

All unions should be taking up the issue of the right to remote work.

Something my instructors could never explain to me is what Turnitin does with the content of papers after they're scanned. How long are they kept? Are they used for verifying anyone else's work? I didn't consent to any of that. When someone runs for office 20 years later are they going to leak old papers? Are they selling that data to other AI trainers? That's some fucking bullshit. It needs to be out of the classroom for more reasons than just false positives.

I very much do not want AR. There will be ads everywhere. What happened to the anger people had toward Google Glass and the feeling that people wearing them would be recording everything around them basically all the time?

Fucking UNIONIZE.

Look, there was a generation between Boomers and Gen X and the fact that they're now just lumped in together is ridiculous. They're called Boomers because they were born during the baby boom immediately following WWII. That boom did not last 20 years. Actual Boomers have been retired for a decade.

I never understood how they were useful in the first place. But that's kind of beside the point. I assume this is referencing AI, but due to the fact that you've only posted one photo out of apparently four, I don't really have any idea what you're posting about.

“We all know who Donald Trump is. The question is: Who are we?”

I posted the following elsewhere, just before I read that he said this, as I was thinking about a quote I heard earlier from DL Hughley regarding Trump's election:

“America saw exactly who it was last night… Exactly who we are,” Hughley said. “I think Obama was what we aspire to be, Trump and his supporters are who we are.”

The Democrats' problem is that they don't address who we are. They offer only aspirations. Who are we (beyond the racists and fascists Trump and his supporters represent)? Broke. Sick. Overworked. Exploited. Isolated. Scared. He wants us to vote based on hope that we can push back fascism. Hope that we can win our rights back. He wants us to vote based on some dream of democracy I can't say I've ever witnessed in my lifetime. Give me someone to vote for who's going to meet us where we are.
