social media has eroded our common sense by blasting our timelines with mindless non-sense.
now AI is chipping away at our ability to think deeply by reducing it to basic "vibes".
at the end, all we will be is entropy generating husks and a toaster convincing us how clever we have been

Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE.
ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

The fight has come to NC, and it just hit close to home. Our daughter teaches in Durham public schools and she said almost all of the Latinx kids are not in school today. ICE is targeting everyone who "looks Hispanic", citizen or not. I am even more angry today-kids need to go to school!
