I asked Chatgpt to write me two versions of an El Paso song, one serious, one funny. Here are parts.

Ring's 'Search Party' is dystopian surveillance accelerationism.

Sigh. For the last two days, every single new follower I have is someone begging. Obviously they look at each other's follow lists to harvest new followers. I can't tell which ones are legit. I've let it go so far, but I'm done. Out they all go.

Watched this documentary last night. Wonder if Trump is using it to plan the 2028 election. films.nationalgeographic.com/bobi-wine-th...

I'm tearing up just reading descriptions of the Bad Bunny halftime show. I hope it's up on YouTube or something so I can watch it.

w00t! We need this!

I hope some enterprising Idaho reporter has a call in to Phil McGrane. #idpol

If you care about elections, follow these people.

I'm reading some horror stories about what women have had to go through to get so-called REAL IDs, and I believe this is absolutely an attempt to disenfranchise women. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

Man, there seems to be an endless supply of AI slop history pages that Facebook keeps insisting on sending me. I'd like the history if it wasn't so obviously AI slop.

Honestly, there's a lot of truth to this.

Almost 40 states have passed or are considering laws limiting AI. This has led both Congress and the President to attempt to forbid such laws. Now, some states are taking the opposite tack: Bills that block such regulations by protecting AI and computing, a movement dubbed #right-to-compute.

Oh, here we go with the Voter Suppression Act of 2026. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Can't believe #idleg missed this one.

You had to know this was coming.

I think it's a lovely touch that Bovino was fired on #HolcaustRemembranceDay.

Two images taken 85 years apart on different continents, but the similarities are unmistakable. BTW: The murderer in the picture on the right was eventually identified in 2025. Let's hope it does not take 84 years to identify the fascist on the left.

Rest in Peace Alex Jeffrey Pretti🙏🏾 The VA ICU Nurses send him off right 💔

Hong Kongers using traffic cone for tear gas. Ingenuity! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpqE...

Chatgpt, how would Hitler tweets be different from Trump? "Hitler’s hypothetical tweets would likely have been more ideological, more disciplined, more openly programmatic, and more tightly coordinated, while Trump’s posts were more impulsive, personal, grievance-driven, and improvisational."

The U.S. is getting to the "Wolverines!" stage.

The best part about being 8 hours ahead of the U.S. is that I can't doomscroll during work hours because y'all are asleep but y'all wake up at the end of my workday.

My first published travel writing! www.businessinsider.com/cruise-thing...

Saw an amazing documentary tonight called The People Shall, about a series of riots in Nairobi in 2024 that resulted in 60 dead, right around where I'm living. I recognized buildings. I had never heard of this and it looked really familiar right now.

Don’t just film ICE—-document it like it like a pro so that it matters. Read these tips to BECOME A TRAINED WITNESS: what to record, how to do it, where to send it. #FuckICE #ICEOutForGood #ICEOut #NoICE [c4693] https://tinyurl.com/hbc4623k

In case there isn't enough #idpol keeping you up nights, there's a gubernatorial election this year.

ICE and Border Patrol agents must be reined in. Here is one thing we can do right now. Please read and share. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/americas-gestapo

Last year, I spent a couple of weeks in Czechia near the German border, which was invaded by the Soviet Union as well as being part of the Sudetenland Hitler took over in 1938. I was startled to see things like this in nice suburban backyards. They're still ready. photos.app.goo.gl/uJ679xFUY9Kt...

You know, when snow and ice melt, kids love playing outside with jacks and marbles. Just make sure they don't leave them outside because they could be hazardous to step on!

Help me to understand how the owner of the white supremacist bar in Eagle can have a "children's learning center" in his building when Eagle doesn't allow them within 300 feet of a bar.

New ICE Bucket Challenge just dropped.

From the videos I've seen, it looks like ICE should designate one of its 47 hours of training to "How to walk on ice."

“The most wealthy and powerful tech CEOs are still staying silent as ICE floods America’s streets, but now some researchers and engineers working for them have chosen to break rank.” Great @laurengoode.bsky.social story:

I just learned about the #HanseaticLeague a couple of years ago, and since then I've been having great fun visiting its cities. A company that makes history t-shirts asked for ideas, and I submitted mine for a Hanseatic League t-shirt, and they made it! echosofantiquity.com/products/cop...

We really need a protest song like Ohio by Crosby, Stills and Nash was for the 1960s. But it sure is tough to find something that rhymes with Minneapolis.

@nicolefoy.bsky.social you made Heather Richardson's column! Congratulations!

Intimidation abounds. Be aware of Flock cameras. Head on a swivel. While I’m thinking of it, practice electronic hygiene. Restart your phone or device once a day. Random stuff, but it’ll keep you safer.

Plugging again for @minnesotareformer.com, which is free to read with no paywalls or ads. You don't even have to "make an account." It's still a small team, but worth adding to your list of media.

Good info. No actually, GREAT INFORMATION.

I wonder whether Vanessa Carlton and The Proclaimers ever met, or if one of them was walking a thousand miles and the others were walking 500 miles and then 500 more in different directions.
