The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

There's a class action lawsuit against Trump because he damaged a bunch of people's credit ratings by incorrectly reporting that they were delinquent on their college loans. All part of the plan: discourage college attendance to make more uneducated Trump voters. Win-win for MAGA.

Haha.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Now that Trump and the Republicans have gotten their long-desired wish of eliminating food assistance (we'll see if it's just temporary) your neighbors are going to need more help. If you're in central Ohio, and you have the means, you should donate to the food bank. mofc.org

When surveyed, AI developers said there was a 5% to 16% chance that AI will kill us all. Some of the "Godfathers" of AI think that we should treat AI data centers like Nukes. They state AI data centers need to be inspected to ensure no individual, company, or nation can build a rouge AI.

Hey, My band is playing in Athens again. This time at the Sidebar. Come on out! Were with Hellnaw. Get ready!

🌽 There is a well-known saying that a government is only 3 missed meals from revolution. Well, this Thursday millions may start to go hungry because of the Republican shutdown. What's surprised me so far about the unraveling of America is how long it's taking. This might accelerate things.

LOL. From my window, I just saw a squirrel grab a jalapeño pepper off of a plant on my porch. It bit into the pepper and then ran in a circle for 30 seconds. Then, seemingly haven forgotten the experience, took another bite and spun round for another 30 seconds. Squirrels ain't too brite.

I'm not too upset about the ballroom. We can convert the ballroom into offices for the new Department of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion once Trump is removed from office. Or, we can convert it into offices staffed with people dedicated to undoing as much as possible of the harm Trump caused.

Hello! My band DUNE is playing the Halloween Block party in Athens, Ohio this weekend. Come on out!

Here's a photo of every Woolly Bear that I encountered while walking on the bike path today.

GDP is computed using the pictured formula. NX = Net Exports = exports - imports. Under Trump, imports have cratered. It appears that GDP has increased. It's an illusion. The other inputs, C, I, and G have all tanked too. If you leave out NX, then we've already been in a recession for a while.

Dropped my laptop. Nothing broke, thank goodness. Thankful that we live in an age of solid-state drives. That drop would have fried an old hard-disk drive for sure.

It might be time to cancel Spotify. 1) The owner, Daniel Ek, is investing in AI weapons systems. 2) Spotify is broadcasting ICE recruitment commercials on the unpaid platform. If not #Spotify, are there any good streaming services out there? Or are we just back to physical media again?

This whole "No Kings" thing seems to be getting some traction. 😉😘

Folks demanding political / ideological purity fail to see that this is no longer a movement belonging to the left / liberals. This is an opposition against fascism. By definition it must be big tent. Failure to grasp this: see divided oppositions in Eastern Europe as your failed examples.

🔥🤓💻 - HOT TAKE: Currently, a developer with a good library of snippets and an efficient workflow is probably still faster than an AI agent at developing viable, up-to-date, secure and maintainable code. But, long-term, yeah, I could see AI agents making better code than humans in maybe 30 years?

🌽🌱 Trump is going to bail out farmers who, as a voting bloc, mostly voted for him. Liberals here want to believe that Trump's tariffs caused farmers to have second thoughts about supporting Trump. Quite the opposite, this bailout is going to prove to farmers that Trump is their personal savior.

I don't know the name or the tune of a single Taylor Swift song. I don't dislike her as a person, or even as a musician. I just don't listen to that type of music. I'm also not a 14 year old girl. Anyhow, I doubt she'll miss my patronage. From what I hear, she's doing fine.

⚾🏀 Well, Cleveland baseball over. I think I'm going to skip over Cleveland football this year and go straight to Cleveland basketball. Let's go Cavs!

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

Today i learned that only about 1/3 of humans have a type of beneficial bacteria in their guts called methanogens. They fuse hydrogen and CO2 to make methane which humans fart out. The important takeaway here is that only about a third of all humans can light their farts on fire.

Representative Jim McGovern @repmcgovern.bsky.social

🧪 @veritasium.bsky.social is the best thing on YouTube. You should follow him. His recent video about 6 degrees of separation and Network Science was very eye opening. Evidently, the more connected a network of becomes, the more hostile the entire network becomes. It explains what's happening.

I'm just here trying to avoid A.I. slopp as much as possible. Some day it will be unavoidable. But not today.

🍞 Learning how to bake. I know everyone else did this already during the pandemic. But now that inflation and tariffs are making food so expensive, I'm baking to save money. Homemade English muffins cost less than a dollar when I make them, and they taste better and have healthier ingredients.

Today I learned (from Treehousedetective) that we never learn why Marty and Doc Brown are friends. It's never explained in Back to the Future. The original script explains that Doc Brown, who lost his fortune inventing, bootlegs adult films and Marty sells them at his school to other teens. Ick!

Twice in one week the president stood in front of the military and called for their aid in eliminating his political opposition. Twice in one week.

Was at a Speedway. Saw a commercial on the gas pump's TV. Did you know that ICE is recruiting the best and brightest of us to "go after the worst of the worst"? (anyone brown) So I can "protect my culture!". Total fascism. Re-watching Starship Troopers un-ironically.

This is not a fight about tax credits. This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin.

🧑‍🌾 1/2 - Let me get this straight--tariffs have decimated US soybean sales to China. China used to buy 50% of the US soybean crop. We gave Argentina $20 billion to help an ultra-right politician there to get elected, and Argentina immediately dropped their taxes on Soybean exports to China.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money. Let that sink in

To all the MAGAs freaking out about Bad Bunny playing the Superbowl: - EVERYONE in Puerto Rico is born a U.S. citizen with a U.S. Passport. - Puerto Rico is a US Territory. - The WHOLE island is American, and they all speak Spanish. - Captain America's costume is really Captain Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

A flotilla of civilian boats carrying humanitarian aid is approaching Gaza. They are live-streaming their approach to help protect them from any Israeli attacks. Help them out. Watch the live-stream in the background while you work. #GlobalSumudFloatilla www.youtube.com/live/6R6L6ZU...

A government shutdown is a win for Trump. 1) He can further postpone any Epstein progress. 2) He can delay the horrible jobs report numbers. 3) He can be cruel to the poor (a common motive for Trump) by cutting off aid programs. I bet that, somehow, ICE stays funded.

Well, it seems like the whole #Kegseth military meeting could have been an email. But I am sure something nefarious happened behind the scenes. (I'm referring to a previous post)

"If you take a step towards freedom, it will take two steps towards you." - Tom Morello meanwhile: *** Freedoms disappearing all around us *** Americans: MEH

📉 1/2 - Trump is going to hide the Friday jobs report if there is a shutdown. He's not doing so to put pressure on Dems to avoid a shutdown. He's hiding the numbers because he knows they suck. You can't trust any economic data released by Trump's administration. You just can't.

Kegseth & Trump are gathering all our generals & admirals in one location either for something incredibly nefarious, or something benign that could have been an email. Either way, it's a huge security risk to have all our leadership in one place. Hoping for something that could have been an email.

⚾ Way to win weird, #Guardians. A win is a win! Playoffs, here we come! We set a new MLB record and came back from 15 1/2 games to make the playoffs. The fictional Indians of the movie Major League came back from 15 games. We're better than a fictional team! LOL

I don't know... maybe one company shouldn't own all the TV stations in Columbus? #Sinclair owns ABC 6, FOX 28, and the CW. #Nexstar Media Group is in the process of acquiring #Tegna, which owns CBS 10TV, but Nexstar already owns NBC affiliate WCMH-TV (NBC4) Dems, let's break up these monopolies!

I'm just getting into the habit of selling stocks on Fridays because you don't know what bat-shit-crazy thing Trump is gonna try and sneak by us right about this time on a Friday. Crazy, unsustainable tariffs? Blaming baby aspirin for COVID? Who knows?

It's not lost on me that most of the people Trump has fired or is currently trying to force from their government posts are black women.

Seriously, where can I join the inevitable class-action lawsuit against #Nexstar and #Sinclair? Also, Democrats, please bust up their illegal monopolies when you guys return to power after the midterms. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Press release from Tylenol..

📺 1/3 Chill. AM Radio was replaced by TV and FM. FM Radio and TV is being replaced by streaming. Whenever a form of legacy media dies, conservatives snap it all up and slap their brand on the remnants. Much like how vape shops slap their brand on previously failed storefronts in dying malls.

I watched like 5 minutes of Trump's UN address and I couldn't take it anymore. So embarrassing--hurt to watch. I actually felt embarrassed for him. Stupid Trump--making me feel sorry for him! LOL. Watching gave me a headache. Gonna need some Tylenol. Wait, what?
