It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

the list of conditions that qualify you is fairly extensive, but may I suggest a simpler route: lying
seriously, I just checked the “I’m eligible” box online when scheduling and the pharmacist didn’t ask me shit, they just gave me the shot

My roommate saw me put more cheese onto a frozen pizza & it was like I unlocked something in him. I saw the wheels turning as he realized we don't have to settle for the default amount of cheese the pizza overlords offer us. What goes onto the frozen pizza is in our control. We have the power.

I'm going to be honest here, I think AI is going to do so much damage to the usable internet that even after it's inevitably crashes out, it's going to take years to disentangle from every space it's polluted, like digital asbestos it's gonna be time consuming effort and likely expensive venture.
I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but...
the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time

Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants
the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever
they aren’t going into universities’ endowments
they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

There is a PR narrative quickly emerging about “entitlement” of elite universities, as if this $ is some sort of subsidy
Harvard & others must counter this quickly
The $ doesn’t flow into Harvard’s coffers - this is grant money, most of which goes to research the govt has agreed has social value

People need to understand that #MEASLES is not just the most contagious… it *wipes out immune memory.* All other immunities you have built up, by #vaccine or otherwise? Poof. You are as vulnerable as a newborn. Maybe more so.

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad.
There’s not.

That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Chicago and Illinois friends, do this now to help preserve the Pre-Trial Fairness Act that ends money bail for non-violent crimes! It took me about a minute and slips need to be filed before tomorrow, May 1.
ACTION ALERT!
Improving community safety starts with investment.
Let's increase access to case management, mental healthcare, and substance use treatment for people awaiting trial. File a witness slip in support of the Pretrial Success Act: bit.ly/SuccessActSlip
