I can't stress enough how extremely critical it is for folks who are even minorly technical to explain to their extended familles how dangerous AI chatbots and genai are.

Odd.
Instacart didn't adjust the cost of a by-weight item I ordered.
They charged me $100 in the app, the amount delivered said $40 (sale?) so I tried to contact support for the difference.
Instead the bot refunded the full $100.
Does make me wonder where else they've skimmed.

Thinking of the folks a few years ago, who on a other app, slipped into my DMs *furious* when I said the Trump admin would build concentration camps to meet their deportation goals.
Luckily at least one had an aha moment when I broke down a "How else do you think this will work?"

Newsom trying to criticize that Fox News entertainer freak for talking about killing homeless people when he himself destroys their homes, steals their belongings, destroys their prospects is absolutely motherfucking rich.
Heyy Newsom being "cool" while brutalizint our unhoused neighbors does in fact make him a fascist too.
If you believe YOUR ALLY is someone who *gleefully* destroys someone home and bans them from the *only* possible place they can try to be to be near critical life saving resources.

Odd but unsurprising seeing liberals bury their head in the sand rather than making any attempt to educate themselves about the actual real and present landscape of US politics today. Very boomer coded.

Anyway, now is as good a time as any to make sure you're up to date on all of your vaccines.
Flu is out and COVID is available in many states though the chances of getting the COVID shot seems to be limited by the pharmacy's mood and personal circumstances.

MAGA have gone from denying that Trump is the Antichrist, to gleefully embracing the fact that they're demons sprinting toward burning in hell for eternity.
BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.
