Let’s be clear: Trump and Musk are stealing from life-saving programs that millions of Americans rely on, just so they can cut taxes for the ultra-wealthy.
(next to an image of Trump) TRUMP'S PROMISE LOWER COSTS FOR CONSUMERS. REALITY PRICES ARE SKYROCKETING, INFLATION IS UP, AND UNEMPLOYMENT IS UP - THE ONLY THING HE'S WORKED TO DECREASE IS TAX RATES FOR THE ULTRA RICH.

#Autism #ActuallyAutistic
Screenshot of a post by Callum Steven (He/Him) @AutisticCallum Text reads: "As an autistic person who sometimes takes things literally, I'd like to say that - contrary to folklore - I never think cats and dogs are falling from the sky when someone says "it's raining cats and dogs". But, I may think someone intends to see me later if they say, "see you later".

The same side of the Moon always faces Earth, but not in exactly the same way. Due to its tilted axis and elliptical orbit, we see about 59% of its surface over time. This simulation compresses a year into 60 seconds, making the Moon's apparent wobble, called libration, clearly visible.

Sarah O'Connor (FT) warns students taking up AI to get them through their studies may be counter-productive;

Good careers depend on employees being able to demonstrate they add value & if they depend on AI to deliver what they claim to know, why would employers not just 'employ' artificial intelligence directly?

While clinging to AI might be understandable in a time of student stress & anxiety, educators (universities) should help them resist the siren call of AI!

I completely concur!

This reminds me of how people say "your life flashes before your eyes when you die" and, somehow, never realize the implications of that being true. I can tell you from experience that your perception of time increases, to the effect that time is subjectively slowed to the point of absurdity when you get hit by a car, and I walked away from that one without any serious injury. I can imagine the very last exhale feeling as long as the entire lifetime of inhalation proceeding it. Again, everyone always says how your life flashes before your eyes when you die. I cannot rationally dismiss with complete certainty that ~31.5 years to date, as I remember it as of this exact moment, hasn't all just been my life flashing before my eyes. I cannot prove absolutely that I'm not remembering having typed this decades ago, that I'm not an old man having a heart attack, and that I won't be dead before I hit the floor.

I have been near enough to death to have been resuscitated. I have never experienced my life flashing before my eyes. I do not know that it cannot happen though I am fairly certain this is a phenomena introduced in works of fiction rather than a science.

If anyone knows of any genuine research into this I would love to see citations to the work.

Trump showing the palm of his hand while looking down, while looking ahead, while rolling his eyes while looking away from the camera with his eyes closed. His hair is flat on top and curls up in the front, and is slicked back over the top of his ear, like usual. Even though he has no chin just like Martin Van Buren didn't, he would actually look like really cool just like Martin Van Buren did, if only he were to grow his sideburns out far enough that they should become actual sideburns like Martin Van Buren had, and he probably won't.

Hmm, if you are a fan of Japanese pickled veggies and shop at Tokyo Central or Marukai (Los Angeles), giant recall for botulism.

#Mutualaid for March

Just $10 bucks away from covering the PO box renewal fee. Thanks so much for the help so far!

Having been housing insecure for a bit having a PO box is a tremendous safety net so I really appreciate the help maintaining that.

Thanks so much for the support so far this month!

We making slow progress on our March fundraising goal, can we break $500 before this weekend? We've got a couple bills (cell phone and credit card) due in the next few days.

So far y'all have really helped me survive capitalism while taking time to focus on our tiny human and look after my partner as they recover from childbirth.

Our baby has realized the joys of trying to eat my hair. They are sitting on my shoulders while holding tightly to my hair. Just before the picture was taken their entire face was burred in my hair.

URGENT #MutualAid

We're urgently needing to send in our rent check, but there's more.

With @nat's postpartum depletion, I'm falling behind on work, and we need childcare ASAP to start catching up.

We got to 70% of our Feb goal; this month we're only 15% of the way.

So right now we need a HUGE push. I have over 4k followers and 18 monthly subscribers. If even 1% of y'all made a monthly donation, that would double my monthly patrons.

PS Thanks so much for your boosts and support. Got some racist hate on my fundraising posts this week. I really appreciate y'all recognizing that it's fucking hard to ask for help and it means a lot when this community comes thru for us.

EXTREMELY URGENT MUTUAL AID

Trying to send rent check TODAY but we still need $1920 (have $450 on hand). I know a lot of people are struggling and don't have much to give, but if you're able to help, it would mean SO much.

Help a Black activist & my partner & baby!

UFC to introduce items.

#UFC #Meme #Memes #Funny #Shitpost

Meme. UFC fighters in a ring, but it's photoshopped so that they have "items": the guy in the red shorts has what appears to be a comically large rubber mallet, the guy in the yellow shorts has a Pokeball, and there's a barrel as well as a container of something on the floor in the ring behind them.

@luce !!!

In today's society The Bible is a book people can hold in their hands. So it is not as obvious to them that The Bible is not a book but is a collection of books. Revelation 22:18 is referring to the book of Revelation not the entire collection of books.

As to whether the Catholics added Apocrypha or it was removed by the Protestants is really of no concern to me. I am an Atheist, more specifically a Secular Buddhist and have no horse in the race. Though it is nice for people to practice tolerance and allow everyone to believe as they choose to believe.

Interesting how you can confuse people by calling a spreadsheet a spreadsheet instead of "an excel".
