Saw this frame at a sushi restaurant with a simple canvas painting. Decided to make it. Going to find a simple paint by numbers next. I integrated little mounting holes in the back. #dog tax, she wanted to see what I was doing.

I've removed from my Etsy shop. Etsy was starting to cost me money as fewer people have been buying to the point where marketing was costing more than it was producing.
Anyway, if you are looking for last minute gifts, here's a link to my #artisanscoop store.

Just read a comment about LLM's that changes how to describe them. But first how I've been describing them is they aren't AI but simply statistical analysis to determine the chance of success for the next word...

But how about instead they aren't AI but "word calculators."

A Fort Worth church is offering a $100 online academy that aims to train conservative Christians to run for office.

At the core of the program is the idea that there is no separation between what happens within the church and in the government.

About 90,000 people living near larger chemical plants face an unacceptable risk of developing cancer, the EPA says.

New rules adopted last year could’ve cut that number to 3,000 residents — a drop of 97%.

But Trump has halted those efforts.
Air Pollution From Industrial Facilities Is Far Worse Than Estimated
The Trump administration has put a stop to EPA rules that would have required more than 130 industrial facilities to install air monitors to measure pollution. Millions of people living near these pla...

1/ THREAD: This year ICE has sent a record 600 immigrant kids into federal shelters, more than in the previous four years combined. Data suggests some are being separated from their families.

For one 15-year-old, it began with a cracked windshield 👇
Article excerpt: Shortly after 8 a.m., Carreto’s phone rang. It was Carlos, telling her an officer with the Florida Highway Patrol had pulled over the truck on Interstate 4 near Tampa. The stated reason: cracks in their windshield. But Carreto was worried. She knew Florida police were collaborating with federal immigration authorities. Her fiancé was undocumented. She says she rushed to the scene and made it there just before the immigration officers. As she feared, Matias had been detained. But to her surprise, so had Carlos. He was just a kid. (ProPublica is only identifying Carlos by his first name because he is a minor.) Carlos was in high school. He’d been living in the United States for over two years and was working toward applying for legal status to stay long term. The government had given her, a legal resident, custody of him. Now he was in handcuffs. Why would they take him too?

Bessent and Bondi are working overtime to make sure a bunch of rich pedophiles and Epstein accomplices are never held accountable. Following the money is one way to serve justice. Today I'm introducing my bill to force the Treasury to hand over its Epstein files.

Certainly looks like we scared the President away from Chicago. Fighting like hell works.
“They are a progressive city, and they don’t want the president’s help. That’s on them. It’s horrific that they don’t want President Trump’s help.” “Chicago should be begging Donald Trump for help to keep Chicago safe,” Bondi added. “Yet, they aren’t so we’re going to go into a city who wants us there.”
