The upshot: “In 2021, the United Farm Workers launched a “Take Our Jobs” campaign that offered to match the unemployed with jobs in agriculture near their homes. More than 4 million visited the campaign’s special website. Only 11 people responded to the offer.”

It's important to watch this moment that first launched Trump's political career - it makes it all the more insane that he's now decided to become George W. Trump launching his very own war in the Mideast.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously
But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state
Keep that same energy of support for her

Good to hear AI will help me reduce my carbon footprint, as I've been running my microwave for 19 hours a day for the last three years and have yet to receive a single video of a dog speaking Spanish.
So…about AI’s energy use…
“…to create a five-second video, a newer AI model uses ‘about 3.4 million joules, more than 700 times the energy required to generate a high-quality image’. That's the equivalent of running a microwave for over an hour.”

Report: Creating a 5-second AI video is like running a microwave for an hour
That's a long time in the microwave.

They say it can’t be done, but here we are, California is generated 106% of California’s entire state electricity demand from renewables.
California has a population bigger that 154 other countries around the world. It’s the 4th largest economy, in the world.
Let that sink in.
