If AI is so advanced, why can’t we have accurate closed captioning? Something like 25 million Americans are deaf or hearing impaired. #closedcaptioning #deaf #AI

#UkraineRussianWar Here’s an idea: Why don’t all those unemployed defense contractors we had in Iraq and Afghanistan head over to Ukraine for some pro bono work?

Ukrainians are dying, bravely fighting. Russian citizens are protesting, facing years in prison. The least we can do to support the resistance is pay a bit more for gas - BAN #RussianGAS exports

Why hasn’t Washington state announced specific criteria for prioritizing #Covid vaccines? Other states have done so. Will those who ‘cut in line’ be penalized?
I don’t recall the CDC recommending that members of Congress get vaccinated first ?
May I suggest that politicians, celebrities and other elite wait to get vaccinated according to their risk status?

Replying to @KUOW @moniguzman @mnickelsburg
@moniguzman: What it's doing that I think is fascinating is revealing the fault lines that exist. People are hearing their attitudes acknowledged. We know there are a lot of frustrations, I wouldn't call it fiction.
Every day, do at least one thing to confuse the algorithm – at Shoreline, WA
