My friend is making amazing protest quilts.
Another resistance quilt finished this week. The eye is my own design, the letters are a fpp pattern by QuiltByNight, the rounded corners and black binding are meant to resemble the phones we the people are using to document the horrors and disprove the government’s lies about what they are doing.

I had errands to run today in the near 0° weather but I forgot to plug the car in last night and I had to drive with no climate control just to make it to doggy daycare. I have a medical appointment now and I hope it was able to charge a bit since this morning’s outing.

AI and robotics will transform our world.
Will these revolutionary technologies make life better for working people, or will they simply make the richest people on Earth even richer and more powerful?
That is the great question of our time.

This isn’t Chicago, but reminded me of that time early this year when Tom Homan went on TV to complain about how difficult Chicago is for them, because there has long been an effort to inform people of their rights.
So now they’ve sent in the secret police, who simply ignore people’s rights.

This may date me, but I’d much rather ask a person a question than google something. Because there’s a connection when you talk to people. Google is isolating. That said, Duolingo and my translation app use Spain Spanish and I need Latin Amer Spanish. What’s a good app? Bad Bunny said we had 4 mos!
