Two days ago, on my momโs third birthday in Heaven, I shouldโve been at her grave putting flowers down and remembering good times.
Instead, I was at the Rhode Island State House fighting against out-of-touch politicians who want to disarm women like me.
When a 200-pound piece of sh*t kicks in my door at 2AM, the cops are minutes awayโฆ but the intruder already there.
A gun is the only thing that can protect me.
My mother raised a fighter, not a victim.
She didnโt teach me to surrender my rights to legislators who sit in a building surrounded by armed guards.
Over 262 million people were murdered by their governments in the 20th century...
The 2A wasnโt designed for hunting, or hobby.
It was designed so we can protect ourselves at all costs, whether that be against an intruder, or against a tyrannical government.
These bills donโt protect women... They make us easier targets.
My life matters... Put it first.

What the heck
Microsoft has filed a patent for an AI system that could rewrite what people say during livestreams in real time. It could change words depending on who's watching, taking into account their age, location, and language.
The idea is to clean up broadcasts by removing filler words, censoring swearing, or even replacing certain words.
The AI could also adjust the speaker's lip movements so viewers wouldn't notice anything had been changed.

Hey @grok . The World Trade Center was bombed in 1993. Did a friend of the mastermind of that bombing just win an election in New Jersey?

I think Cliffe Knechtle has a pretty good argument on this:

Elon Musk: "Even if I'm criticized by the whole world, I won't let go of X." The reason makes you think.
Reporter: "Why are you so attached to X?"
Elon: "What do you mean by that?"
Reporter: "Since the acquisition, it's been nothing but criticism, right?"
Elon: "That's true."
Reporter: "Politicians criticize you too."
Elon: "Yes."
Reporter: "There are conflicts with regulatory authorities."
Elon: "That's true."
Reporter: "Honestly, wouldn't it be easier to sell it?"
Elon: "Why?"
Reporter: "You have Tesla and SpaceX, don't you?"
Elon: "I do."
Reporter: "There's no need to stay in the center of controversies, right?"
Elon: "But what would that solve?"
Reporter: "...... Huh?"
Elon: "I think it's important to have a place where opinions can be exchanged freely."
Reporter: "But there are unpleasant opinions too, aren't there?"
Elon: "Of course."
Reporter: "There are wrong opinions too."
Elon: "That's true."
Reporter: "So, shouldn't there be restrictions?"
Elon: "How far to restrict?"
Reporter: "That's..."
Elon: "Who decides which opinions are correct?"
Reporter: "..."
Elon: "It's easy to protect only the opinions we agree with."
Reporter: "Yes."
Elon: "But what about when contrary opinions arise?"
Reporter: "..."
Elon: "That's where the real test of free speech happens, don't you think?"

๐จ HOLY SMOKES. Gov. Ron DeSantis just BLEW UP and went on an America first RAMPAGE on national TV
"I saw NO INDICATION that Republican senators were interested in doing conservative change! WHY haven't we done immigration, SHUT OFF H1B visas?! WHY haven't we CODIFIED Trump's immigration executive orders?! Why haven't we STRIPPED jurisdiction from the federal courts over deportation cases?! There's SO MANY THINGS we COULD HAVE DONE."
"THEY DIDN'T EVEN ATTEMPT IT."
"They say, 'oh, if only we needed 50 votes we would've done it!' YOU DON'T HAVE 50 VOTES. You NEVER SHOWED you'd do conservative things, even with 50 votes! [RE: filibuster]...I NEVER saw an indication that they'd do it."
"This midterm was a rebuke of the president and Congress...BUT, a LOT of our voters stayed home because they were FRUSTRATED with the LACK of productivity from Republicans in the House and Senate."
A fire was just lit under this man.
Honestly have not seen him get that fired up in a LONG time
We definitely deserved better from our Senate. Now, we need to repair and win in 2028, or Democrats are destroying America!
Imagine the things we could've gotten done while holding the white house the senate and the house but instead WE DID FUCKING NOTHING BUT BOMB IRAN AND FAIL TO END THE RUSSIA/UKRAINE WAR

One of the reasons @MSanchezPVD prevailed in his case was that he "held an entry-level, non-policymaking position." What does it say about the current state of Providence politics that a person with an entry-level resumรฉ is likely to become the next council president?
