Let's talk about things our tax dollars pay for, which we never use, and for which we're grateful. I'll start: I live in a city with 6,000 acres of parks. I've been to maybe 50 of them. Many of them have equipment for children (which I do not have) and skateboarders (which I am not).
USA TODAY OpinionOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
I think "AI" plumpers should be happy I'm focusing mostly on the nonsense it's doing to my field, rather than how it's very clearly designed as a tool for the capture of wealth and capital by a bunch of accelerationist weirdos enthusiastically huffing their own farts from the depth of their K-holes

Amazing that Iran is successfully attacking the drinking water in the American Midwest, and this is pretty directly the Trump administration's fault, yet this is not a huge scandal among his voters who live there
Matt NovakMinnesota Gov. Tim Walz responds to Trump: “DOGE took an axe to CISA and left the U.S. exposed to cyber attacks."
BREAKING: Pirro has dismissed the case against Davey Hearn for vandalizing the reflecting pool, saying that there's no way vandals could have caused the damage.
Well FUCK What must Rowling’s lawyers have threatened to cow AMNESTY like this. “In particular, we apologise to Beira’s Place and other groups, which we categorised as gender critical organisations, which we should not have collectively labelled as anti-rights.” But truth beats TERFs.

Jay Clayton signed off on several abusive subpoenas to @nytimes.com reporters in violation of the DOJ's own policies — now he's confirmed as director of national intelligence. With people like him in office, we need a federal shield law for journalists more than ever:
Now confirmed as DNI, Jay Clayton is threat to press freedomIf Clayton is willing to break DOJ policy at Donald Trump’s request and then lie about it, what will he do now that he’s in charge of an incredibly powerful surveillance apparatus?freedom.press
that is in fact literally in the bible. it's Matthew 6:5.
Right Wing WatchRep. Lauren Boebert insists that public Christian worship events are necessary for America to experience revival: "I don't think that Jesus ever called for any Christian to pray only silently or to keep their faith hidden only in the prayer closet."

BP execs were deeply involved in shaping a highly influential climate science paper. The authors not only discussed ideas with the oil company but, in a departure from academic norms, passed drafts back and forth and welcomed extensive feedback. with @drilledmedia.bsky.social
How BP Execs Influenced a Climate Study That Shaped a Generation of Global PolicyBP sponsored an elite Princeton research center to address the climate problem without getting off fossil fuels. Its key work, a paper known as “Wedges,” guided climate discourse for a generation.www.propublica.org
This seems especially meaningful to me. I have no problems with science using tools like this because it operates more like a chemistry lab than it does a replacement for knowledge. In the arts, it doesn't use your expertise but subverts it entirely. You replace your expertise with an inferiority.
The Torment Nexus doesn't love you backIn those cases saying "the AI cured the cancer" is about as accurate as saying "the pen the doctor used to approve your treatment cured your illness". 🙄 It was a tool that only worked because expert knowledge wielded it.
The ONLY study to EVER allege a connection was found w/falsified data & the lead scientist stood to make like $48 million off of fraudulent "autism testing kits" or some bullshit-- The Trump admin's evil knows no end. Spreading fatal diseases, stigma + lies.

Now says: "The claim 'vaccines do not cause autism' is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism."

Never mind that the *commandment* to care for, defend the rights of & yes, love the stranger / non-citizen among you appears more times than any other *commandment* in the Bible. The white Christian nationalist church of patriarchal repression and hate has never been big on core ideas.
huck mason@betsyshirley.bsky.social pointed out that this no-girls-allowed Christian gym's covenant replaces the Bible's usual triad of "the orphan, the widow, and the stranger (stranger = poor and/or immigrant folks)" with "the orphan, the widow, and [the unborn]." interesting.
