I’m not saying not to believe who someone is... a fly is a fly. I am saying we catch more flies with honey than vinegar. That doesn’t mean we tolerate intolerance. That’s where we draw the line. We must find the cracks and shine light into them. That’s how we keep democracy from dying in the dark.

This is what we should be doing in America RIGHT NOW. Instead, there is a nursing shortage, doctors no longer wish to interact with insurance companies, people are fed up with the broken insurance system, and the Trump administration tried to cut ADA (again), and disqualified nursing degrees.
Budget 2025 includes the $5 Billion Health Infrastructure fund that will go towards building hospitals, emergency rooms, urgent care centres, and medical schools.

Paradox of automation
edit
The paradox of automation says that the more efficient the automated system, the more crucial the human contribution of the operators. Humans are less involved, but their involvement becomes more critical. Lisanne Bainbridge, a cognitive psychologist, identified these issues notably in her widely cited paper "Ironies of Automation."[49] If an automated system has an error, it will multiply that error until it is fixed or shut down. This is where human operators come in.[50] A fatal example of this was Air France Flight 447, where a failure of automation put the pilots into a manual situation they were not prepared for.[51]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:byjjq67p7iau6qufzjmizpbn/bafkreie4ootzzyowpylsxjg7gxsp63iujxh4qceuuxxhwm63yrm2qffa4e@jpeg)

My wife and I went on a date night for our anniversary. We intended to see something else but turned out I accidentally bought tix for this movie instead. We laughed and said “Ok, guess we’re seeing whatever this is!” Boy, were we not prepared for this movie. It was a complete mind f*ck. 🤯
PTA shut down production and ballooned the budget on this movie so he could cast Benicio del Toro, and the very first shot of him instantly proves it was worth it

I love that Republicans branded the ACA as “Obamacare” (as a slur) but it’s completely backfired and now American health insurance will always be synonymous with Obama. Had the complete opposite effect they intended. 🤣 www.cnn.com/2025/11/14/p...

Facts.
I’m old enough to remember when SCOTUS stopped the counting of ballots and called an election, and all the subsequent war crimes abroad and losses of civil liberties at home. There is a direct line from Dick Cheney to the mess we’re in today. Never forget that.

Chicago's children are getting caught in the chaos of immigration crackdowns
Children were playing on the monkey bars outside Funston Elementary School when a white SUV rolled down their street in Logan Square. Suddenly, tear gas canisters flew from the window of the SUV.

If you’re going to cancel Kimmel for saying the shooter was MAGA, you should also cancel everyone who said the shooter was some kind of liberal activist.

Republicans are calling this “consequence culture”, but when you’ve done nothing wrong there can be no consequences. It’s cancel culture. And they own this.
This is censorship in action. The FCC chair threatens ABC and Disney over Kimmel’s comments. Hours later, he’s off air. It’s dangerous and unconstitutional.
The message to every media company is clear: Adopt the MAGA line or the Federal Censorship Commission will come after you.
