It’s Mumia’s 72nd birthday today. It’s an abomination that he spends it behind bars. A new generation must take up the fight for his freedom and against this racist frame-up system! iclfi.org/pubs/wvtv/20...

This is the little island bed that I started last year but haven't finished planting until now. The Pale Coneflowers, Standing Cypress and Texas Toadflax were sown in place and I'm adding Green Milkweed and Azure Sage. The Redbud planted itself. IDs in alt text. #nativeplants #gardening 🌱

Enjoy this very deceptive picture of city’s finest Mertensia virginica bloom (with a bit of Geranium thrown in) cropped to hide that it is nonsensically not in a quiet woodland but a sunny ugly apartment building with dyed red mulch, invasive ditch lilies, vinca & weeds.🤣 #gardening #NativePlants 🌱

What gives things value is human labor, so AI products and services have an inherent problem: they are close to valueless. What would you pay for an AI film or AI therapy session? To be profitable, AI must enable theft (wars for oil), scams (flexible pricing), and civilian control (so AI continues).

Exes at Sacramento Bee owner McClatchy are using their human reporters’ bylines on AI slop without reporters’ consent. Readers won’t know what’s real and what’s fabricated. That’s not journalism. That’s corporate organized fraud. Unions for Sac Bee, Miami Herald & Kansas City Star are suing. 🧵

During the #CaliforniaNativePlants garden tour this past weekend I most coveted the Sacred Datura. Even before blooming it has a fantastic presence. Photos usually show it growing alone, but rising up out of a sea of plants it's even better, like an iceberg about to hit the Titanic. 🌱

If Democrats in power are not using every lever they have to obstruct Trump now, why would you believe they would do it later?
