There’s an ongoing joke about how, if the surrealists had been born in Mexico, they would have been considered realists. I’m here to tell you, it is not a joke but an anecdote. As proof, allow me to present to you exhibit A: the picture G just sent me from her commute back home 🤯🤣

Hello, my name's Grant. I am on disability, as having to deal with schizophrenia for a majority of my life. I’m getting proper care for this, and have managed to stay afloat well for some time. However, my expenses have increased, and I’m battling to stay housed. Any assistance coming in, would be for covering basic living expenses, to maintain my housing, electricity and other utilities. Even with using strategic frugality, and having expenses down as low as possible, there is still a small budget shortfall that will cause me to become un-housed. I’m seeking assistance to help cover the shortfall in the utilities. Due to being disabled, I am not able to find work to help cover this shortfall.

"Concerned at the UK Government’s intentions to review the #HumanRights framework and #JudicialReview we have come together to state:
While every system could be improved, and protecting #rights and #freedoms for all is a balancing act, our #HumanRightsAct is a proportionate and well-drafted protection for the fundamental #liberties and #responsibilities of everyone in this country.
The Act guarantees the rights to #FreeSpeech and expression, to life, to #liberty, to security, to privacy, to assembly, and to #FreedomOfReligion or belief. It prohibits torture and guarantees fair trials and the #RuleOfLaw.
Judicial review is an indispensable mechanism for individuals to assert those rights and freedoms against the power of the state." humanrightsact.org.uk/

Mass layoffs at Education Department signal Trump’s plan to gut the agency
The president’s apparent strategy is attempting to eliminate the agency on his own authority, while asking Congress to finish the job, an education expert writes.The Conversation
Years ago, my friend’s company routinely sent her to Curaçao for contract work. One time, in a connection through Miami, US immigration objected to her work visa as not good for the US. She wasn’t working in the US - she was just changing planes. They tore it up on the spot. She had to get another one when she got home. Now I think she’d find herself in a concrete cell in Arizona.
Do not travel to the US unless you have to. Don’t even change planes there. Not worth the risk.
How ProPublica Uses AI Responsibly in Its Investigations

When our reporters prompted a large language model to help identify “woke” themes in a database of grants, AI helped them tell a vital accountability story about science funding and Ted Cruz.

People just want to see red once you mention AI, but when used in this targeted way it is very useful and saves time so you can show us these articles sooner.
As solitha said, promoting correct usage. Don't mind the hate.
Clearly.
To prove this, look at a square piece of paper.
It has 2 sides, the front and the back. The mathematical notation for 'square' is with a small 2 to the upper right. The mathematical notation for 'cube' has a small 3 in that location. Therefore, it follows that a cube must have 3 sides.
I forgot you can't just run a shell script with rsync calls via cron on macOS because of... security. I think my workaround will do though.
I write a shell script and then create an Automator application that calls the shell script. I then add a cron job to open the application.
I need to check if it runs when the screen is locked. I'm pretty sure it does but I will test again.

(For the record: please keep boycotting! Yes, it sucks for us here, but the only thing these people understand is pain.)

"The FBI is moving to criminalize groups like #HabitatForHumanity for receiving grants from the #EPA under the Biden administration.
Citibank was told to freeze the groups’ bank accounts at the FBI’s request. The reason? The FBI alleges that the groups are involved in “possible criminal violations,” including “conspiracy to defraud the United States.” "

As a reminder, the crackdown on protest has been happening - and getting more aggressive - for a long time.

Astro Bob on Friday's lunar eclipse and what it would look like to an astronaut on the Moon.
"We'll see the moon glow orange-red during total eclipse. But our astronaut would witness a fiery, red ring ensconcing the silhouetted Earth! What I wouldn't give to be there. Fortunately, we have the next best thing. The Blue Ghost lander , which touched down on the moon last week, will take photos of this unique solar eclipse at the same time we're watching from Earth."
