Here's am idea, how about instead of pushing AI into every crevice of society, we reward the concept of real people developing and applying their own real intelligence to accomplish great things?

Happy birthday to Alex Lifeson, born on this day in 1953 in Fernie, BC!
As the guitarist for Rush, he has been with the band since 1968. He is the only bandmember to have stayed with the band for its entire existence. An asteroid is named for him and he has the Order of Canada.

Saw the new Superman, and I think it’s the best thing to hit the mainstream pop culture in a long time. I love that it says it’s okay to get mad when someone is making “what-a-bout-ism” arguments about people getting killed.
Superman, like the names says, should be the best of us.

“ICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is
With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:

- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

Your Cherokee words for today.
The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

6 miles on the AT, 1000 feet of vert, and one Eastern Box Turtle laying her eggs. It was a good day.
