I'm doing an online course on information influencing in media, social media and LLMs. Today I tried three different accounts with Gemini about my questions on democracy and autocracy, and all accounts received different answers, the "empty" one most ambivalent about pros and cons of dictatorship.

What happened to all the love, it just burned up or something? It’s okay, I’ll keep sharing it - I love you and I don’t even know you, and I want you to be okay, whoever you are. Spread the love. The world needs love.

Man, #cancer treatment is going to be late.

I just wish #mastodon would allow me to make the stream 3/4 of the screen and move all this stuff to the left...... WHY WHY WHY WHY DO WE LOSE OUR SCREEN REALESTATE. THIS ISNT A TABLET11!!21!

I’ve decided to narrow my usage down to primarily #Anisota for #Bluesky & #Mona for #Mastodon for now. I can’t make my mind up on whether I want to use one or the other, but the clients wasn’t hard to decide - at least for now. The new beta of Mona is quite beautiful and Anisota is most healthy.

Things don’t just happen, but it’s okay because life is a series of happenings and it’s needed for growth to become who you’re meant to be. I had to learn that. Being tough is about how much you can take and still get back up and keep learning from your mistakes and despite all of it - help people.

Weird - apparently my iPhone updated and now some apps and websites load very slow, not fully - or at all. What happened exactly? Restarting doesn’t fix it. #iOS

Good morning friends. Today is my birthday, so I get to take today to do something fun. I think I’m going to go spend some time in nature and reflect, maybe get a bite to eat for lunch and try to have a fun and relaxing day. Then tomorrow my birthday gets to continue because I’m celebrating more.

Looks like #B$ky has started to censor all of their users... so much for "Decentralization" 🙄🙄🙄 Thankfully, #Nostr actually does real, #Scalable decentralization and is built For The People, with a censorship-resistant #CreatorEconomy. Make the switch, refuse the #FUD, don't trust, verify.

I kind of feel this has some legs #PedoPresident #Trump #Epstein

If only Republicans spent 1/1,000th of the time helping feed poor kids as they spend covering up the Epstein files.
