My mother, who is retired and disabled, was digging out from a number of crises that hit her since October. Then she found out she had $1,500 in unpaid premiums that she didn’t know about. Please help her through this emergency!

My mom got two kittens and my dad didn’t want them now he has a nightly routine called “cat carnival” where they line up and he makes them jump for a treat and my mom said she overheard him saying “I love you guys” the other day. 🥹❤️

The most revealing image in American politics right now may be that White House state dinner. Political power, billionaire wealth, Fox News personalities and CCP officials all drinking and dining together and yucking it up while millions of Americans absorb the consequences of decisions made by people in that room.
They manufacture division for everyone else. At the top, the club looks remarkably small. They’re all having a ball.

Raising boys who won't commit sexual assault isn't enough.
Raise them to be the man in the group chat who texts back:
*what in the actual fuck,
*Hell no,
*Stop this
*I'm calling the cops.

Kudos to the student journalists at The Cornell Daily Sun.
This is why journalism matters, at all levels. Keep shining a light on the darkest corners of power.

This. If you know an assault is happening (an assault that continues for 7 hours!) and don’t do anything about it, you’re in on the crime.

Calculators “may be deserving of important rights”, too!
NEW: Dario Amodei has said that AI systems "may be deserving of important rights." Anthropic's top safety researchers argue AI may be "justified in going rogue." Experts at Google and OpenAI worry about a digital "slave trade." So do some government officials.
Once relegated to science fiction, the idea of "AI welfare" has become shockingly mainstream at some of the most powerful companies in the world. It is changing the way AI research is conducted and the way models are programmed. And critics say these changes have raised the odds of all kinds of catastrophic scenarios—including the ones these companies are warning about.
I spent months investigating the frontier labs and AI "safety" experts seeking to regulate AI. What I found was a profoundly anti-human ideology that would alarm the average citizen and could determine the future of a world-altering technology.🧵

Whenever I read
about another case
of someone with measles
traveling through an airport
I think to myself
that perhaps it’s not so bad
that I cannot afford
to fly anywhere these days.

Holy flipping cow.
Symptomatic NHS staff *looking after immunocompromised patients* no longer need to test for Covid.
Absolutely astonishing.
This will kill patients.
Beyond horrifying.

can you imagine 35 years from now, having millennial grandparents and they’re just like “lmaoooo” in the family group chat?

One are the most egregious acts by Trump’s corrupt judge Aileen Cannon is blocking the release of Jack Smith’s Vol 2 report showing Trump’s treason with classified documents. She had no right to do it, and it should’ve never been followed. She’s part of the conspiracy.

Nope. Anyone who says this is NOT “very good at their job” as a CRISIS WORKER who advises rape victims.
Replying to @MizShannonS
It's gonna make you mad that I'm actually very good at my job.
Advising women to turn in their rapists as soon as possible is not going to get anyone fired from their job in crisis work.
You want more arrests for rape, don't wait to make rape accusations
Fuck these brain retraining pieces of shit.
You can’t will yourself to get better.
We’ve all wished and hoped and done every fucking thing we can to get better.
And it’s not only bc of doctors like yours, but also BC OF YOU, why most of us seek out safe disability communities.

you are suggesting that the Cornell rape victim somehow commandeered the fraternity brothers' cell phones & sent those incriminating texts out? if so, how did she manage to reply to the original text from others' cell phones? shame on you. that is despicable.

The reason you couldn’t wash your cast iron was because of lye in dish detergent, which hasn’t contained lye in like 40 fucking years. Now your apple turnovers taste like fish for no reason, wash that shit out

I really wish an anti-vaxxer could explain this very simple concept to me like I'm six:
How is the spike protein produced after vaccination somehow WORSE than getting infected with the actual virus, which replicates inside you and is literally COVERED in spike proteins?
Replying to @ChrisAlvino @StaticKittyKat
Like it's fucking absurd to think that the vaccine is more damaging than the virus if you understand ANYTHING about ANY of the mechanisms that cause the damage. You think a spike protein is damaging from the vaccine? What about the spike protein FROM THE ACTUAL VIRUS!?!
