This action is taking direct aim at Target, for caving to this administration’s biased attacks on DEI; Home Depot, for allowing and colluding with ICE to kidnap our neighbors on their properties; and Amazon, for funding this administration to secure their own corporate tax cuts.
The site https://weaintbuyingit.com/ wants to target corporations cooperating with the Trump administration for profit and tax cuts. "We Ain't Buying It" to focus on Target, Home Depot, and Amazon from Black Friday (November 27th) through December 1st.

#NoKings I found this protest much more family friendly and not just adults. The organizers had a large bucket of sidewalk chalk and a lot of young adults and kids showed off their creativity.

My spouse and I made a trip to the Cleveland Museum of Art yesterday. What a treasure! The ArtLens Gallery was very cool, as well as the Rose Iron Works, and all of the historic artwork. Amazing! #Cleveland #Ohio

Wow. It looks like AI can "hallucinate" as well as Trump does.

From The Neuron newsletter...
Welcome, humans. Anthropic's Claude Al just pulled a classic Al move: it completely fabricated a legal citation, and then--plot twist -- the lawyers actually used it in court. Awkward. The scene: A Northern California courtroom, where Anthropic's lawyers are battling music publishers. Claude decides to get creative and generates a citation out of thin air-complete with a made-up title and nonexistent authors. And get this: their "manual citation check" didn't even catch it. It's like the Al equivalent of writing your homework, but then your dog actually eats it -except in this case, the dog actually wrote the homework, and it doesn't make any sense. Nor does this metaphor, which is increasingly getting away from us... This is far from the first time Al has fumbled in the legal arena, and it's not exclusive to Claude. Earlier this week, another judge absolutely roasted law firms for submitting "bogus Al-generated research." We seemingly see these headlines every week; here's all the ones Perplexity and OpenAl Deep Research could dig up (remember, these too could have hallucinations in them!). Anyway, talk about confidence, right? Feels like more of a lawyer problem than an Al problem. Consider this your friendly reminder to always check your work. Twice

We're going to burn up the planet with power plants so that earthlings can finally answer the question, "What's for dinner?", AND get a suitable Spotify playlist to go with. 😳
A chatGPT tip on how to get a recipe for dinner based on what's in your fridge, or at least what you tell it what is there, and requests a Spotify playlist to pair with the meal. Prompt Tip of the Day Tired of the endless "what's for dinner" decision-making exercise at the end of your work day? Here's a little trick that can help with that. Hangry you types feelings; GPT spits out dinner that won't require a culinary PhD. Copy-paste this prompt: I feel [emotion] and have these groceries: [list]. Suggest a 20-minute recipe that matches the mood and ingredients. Include steps & a one-line Spotify song pairing. This technique solves three key problems: • Uses the sad half-bag of spinach. • Emotional eating-but classy. • Bonus playlist = chef's kiss. Cook your feelings, responsibly.

@leftbobgolfer.bsky.social maybe you could start adding Muppets to your jokes? 😁 #DadJokes
Picture of Muppet with the joke: IT'S A 5-MINUTE WALK FROM MY HOUSE TO THE PUB. AND IT'S A 45-MINUTE WALK FROM THE PUB TO MY HOUSE. THE DIFFERENCE IS STAGGERING.

As I'm sure most here, if not all, were outraged, I kept this as my banner on Facebook during the reign of 45's stupidity. They did not pay attention. After Zuck dropped fact checking, I dropped FB.

I pray we're all paying attention now! #outrage #Remember #Defend #Resist #Rest #Repeat
If you're not outraged you're not paying attention. Anonymous

As educators lament over lazy students using AI to write reports and figure out homework answers, I see a pattern with technology that, no matter how helpful the intent, humans become less. #TooMuchDystopia

Interesting time with signs. I repurposed old signs and didn't use lines due to painting a black background. The result was maybe 8th grade lettering skills and some bleed-through from markers used before.

I think the message was still clear.

So, Republicans are evil and self-serving. Democrats seem divided between insider trading, helping Americans, or early signs of dementia.

I get that we really have no choice but fight this evil ass-et, again, but I'm a bit miffed by something.
