hell yeah @williamfleitch.bsky.social
9. If you use Al to write something for you, it is meaningless and we'd all be better off if you had never said anything in the first place. This is the thing: Writing is meaning. The reason we write things is to express some sort of meaning, to pass along important information, to convey a human emotion or sensation. It doesn't matter whether the writing is grammatically correct, or vividly expressed. It matters that it came from you. That is the point of writing. If you ask a Chatbot to write something for you, you are being fundamentally unhuman and foundationally dishonest. I am not going to bend on this one. If it requires an Al bot for you to express something to me, you and I are probably not actually friends.

Start funding Democrats on the ground at the state and county level.

If anyone can get through to their neighbors, it's the people already doing the work on the ground.

By Mexican sculptor @chavismarmol.bsky.social
A blue Tesla Model 3 has been crushed by an Olmec statue. A man with long black braids leans against the hood of the car with his arms crossed, staring down the camera.

Writing about this for my manuscript- the arrest of 110 congressmen who spoke out against dictator General Victoriano Huerta in Mexico in 1913. Don't think it can't happen here...
La Prensa, a Spanish-language newspaper published in San Antonio, Texas, reported the arrest of 110 congressmen in Mexico by the dictator General Victoriano Huerta. This issue is from October 11, 1913.

More than 3,100 students died at schools built to crush Native American cultures
The Post’s year-long investigation found that three times as many Native American students had died at boarding schools between 1828 and 1970 as the U.S. government had previously reported.
