SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?”

one of the most beautifully succinct sentences i have read in a long time. thank you.

"In the world of AI, learning is rebellion so learn and live."

Whenever possible. Learn something new. Doesn't matter what. Art, history, science, building a chair. Learn. It's what makes life worth living and is the best way to learn about yourself too. In the world of AI, learning is rebellion so learn and live.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Claudette Clovin was the first to protest segregated seating by refusing to give up her seat on a Montgomery Bus on March 2, 1955. As a dark-skinned, pregnant teenager, leaders initially overlooked Clovin. Keep her memory alive. Such bravery in challenging Jim Crow should be remembered.

MTV is officially ending all of its music channels.

In honor of that, what’s your favorite music video?

For me, the first was the best, including a very young Hans Zimmer smirking in front of a modular.

rick steves bought a hygiene center www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
The biggest change, however, is among the people who visit the center, Mears said. Not many had dared to hope for the center to remain open, accustomed to loss after years or sometimes lifetimes of trauma. Steves' investment in the center, and the people who rely on it, "means something." "It says, 'They are valued. People out there care about us,'" Mears said. "That means a lot." For Steves, the purchase was a gift, but also a way to protest the "insatiable greed" behind the homelessness crisis in the U.S. Communities should not have to rely on the whims of wealthy people to have their essential needs met, he said. Instead, Steves said "smartly invested tax revenue" should fund services that keep vulnerable people healthy and safe. Steves is already planning improvements for the "tin can of a building," like repairing its heating system, installing new showers and buying industrial strength washing machines so people can do their laundry for free. He hopes to open a bike repair at the center, extend its hours and use it as a cold weather shelter during winter months, he said. "I wanted to make a difference. I had this opportunity to walk the talk and love my neighbor," Steves said. "Everybody can pitch in, but we have to inspire people to roll up their sleeves and get involved."
