I use my real name on FB, but never here because of the open access.

Fun games with AI bots. Thanks for helping me learn more from bluesky. I'm very concerned about our country moving forward from this. 6/10/2025
If anyone shows up on this platform who knows me, this AI and misinformation training program has been fun. But we need to be more careful about what we believe and how we interact with each other online. Look for upcoming updates from reliable sources within the next couple of weeks.

Now I need to look up Rutgers law review and Rohan Grey for curiosity's sake.

There are some political chatbots going down on political pages. I talked with my sister-in-law who knows more about this. Chatbots are common in media realms. They are attracted through the use of certain phrases or words. She says that they can zero in on a person and will send endless messages...

My friend's son died by suicide. His celebration of life was today, and I didn't go. She buried his older brother around ten years ago following a tragic accident. The stress of our times is hard on the younger generation, growing up without hope that they'll be able to live a good life.

It really needs to be pointed out. As someone who has been to actions up to and inculdiong the uprising here in 2020 I have never seen every officer wearing fake name badges all with the name “the others” instead of their actual names.

“Federal law enforcement officers on the scene declined to say what the purpose of the raid was, and directed the Reformer to an email address for ICE’s media contact. Some declined to identify which agency they were with. Most wore masks.”

That's called secret police and it looked like it.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.
They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

The Republican bill that passed the House would make deep cuts in the Inflation Reduction Act — including what remains of $500 million to the NPS to recruit and hire park rangers across the country (only a fraction of which has already been spent). From Heather Richards @eenews.bsky.social
‘Ill-timed blow’: Advocates decry funding cuts for park rangers
The National Park Service has spent a fraction of $500 million allocated to hire more park rangers.

It haunts me that Project 2025 demanded that department appointees be simultaneously loyal to the Constitution and to Trump. Those two are incompatible. It's as if the architect knew this would create a revolt among the people at some point.

I'm one of those who is completely fine with tariffs, but they've got to make sense. This jimmying of the stock market and surprise around each corner decimates the ability of planning. Ongoing destabilization is not healthy for government nor for business nor for any relationship really.

People are mystified by skepticism from anti-monopolists towards Abundance, and then Abundance-friendly politicians give financiers a license to steal. It's not that complicated.

The story of the Ogles event today is @AndyOgles @SenJohnson @GinoBulso co-opting Memorial Day to peddle their hate inside a closed Capitol keeping the public out, barely taking any questions.

Outlets that cover it another way are enabling fascism.

To the casual educated observer, science may still seem like guesswork and witchcraft, but precision application and practice changes the landscape of the unknown and the possible.
