1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

AI did not arise out of a real human need. It arose out of billionaires’ agenda that this is what the world needs next so they can be even richer. Everything it does, humans do better, it’s better for them to do. What’s left is that it’s causing people mental crisis, polluting, plagiarizing.

Just submitted to my 3rd CFP in as many days. Trying not to dwell on any of them too much right now. The pessimist inside my brain says they're not likely to be accepted. But for once it sure is nice to have ideas to even submit, whether they're accepted or not.

I'm always nervous after submitting to a CFP, and in the past day I've submitted to 2 of them. Now I just need to distract myself with something else...work I guess...so I don't think about this too much.
