This is so evil, man. This is what happens when the language of mental health gets co-opted, now you can kill someone and portray it as a way to raise awareness for mental illness. This is incredible sick.

Congratulations Carol, with one quote you wiped out the doubt of every writer who wasn't sure this negotiation really IS so important, that it actually IS about turning us into gig workers.

I can't stop thinking about this. There are a lot of arguments against AI, but this is one of the best and clearest I've seen:
By its very nature, AI is regressive. It can only extract and remix old thoughts. Only human beings grow and create consciousness.

Ron DeSantis' ongoing disaster with Disney is getting worse for him. It turns out his own memoir repeatedly admits that he weaponized the state against Disney for criticizing "don't say gay." Disney extensively cites his book in its lawsuit against him:

Annoyed by Rep Zooey Zephyr doing her work from a public bench in the hallway of the legislature after being denied access to the chamber, Speaker Regier appears to have called his mommy for backup.
Quote Tweet
Oh my god.
Remember the women who took up the bench yesterday so that Rep Zephyr would not have any seat outside the chamber?
I am being told that the woman closest to the camera in blue pants is Speaker Regier's mother. twitter.com/WinterForMT/st…

FUN FUN FACT: Now that y’all know the males are peacocks and the females are peahens I think it should be said that no they’re not called peaCOCKS bc they have penises. Roughly 97% of bird species the males DO NOT have penises. Birds mate by “kissing” their cloacas. twitter.com/Dreadful4Tymes…

Just realized they're going for this weird workaround expulsion for her because if they actually just expel her (like Jones/Pearson in TN) it allows her district to reinstate her. Keep her in limbo and her voters are permanently disenfranchised.
Quote Tweet
Republicans used a series of procedures to remove every bill from my committees, silencing my constituents beyond what they already voted to do.
My constituents elected me to speak on their behalf—in committee & on the floor—and stopping me from doing so is anti-democratic.
