It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

He just threatened former presidents Biden and Obama, and Hillary Clinton as revenge for being impeached. Is this the little surprise he's planning? Murder? Prison? Exile? Who's next?

Happy Monday! It's a new week! We had overcast skies this morning so here's another shot from yesterday's sunrise after the sun had broken through the horizon. Tap for full size, particularly since it's a vertical. I hope you have a great day!

For me, an evening coffee with cardamom is especially welcome if I have a migraine. Sleeplessness depends on the level of social and work-related anxiety.

I went shopping at IKEA. They had 12 empty cashier lines. And 4 ladies running separate self-checkout areas, each had 4 machines to oversee. No chairs. Not shopping there again. People need jobs.

ai should not be allowed to put living creatures in harm's way. Right now the focus is consumer engagement. But when chat bots use personal pronouns and other endearing terms it's manipulative. We are being seduced by what could easily become a narcissistic pedator. @jayapal.house.gov

I am today years old, when I finally realize it's not my fault if I don't understand you. If your body language is confusing, or you're mumbling, mispronouncing words, or using words I don't know - its not my fault. I should just ask questions and not be punished for asking. + #autism #auHD

#regulateAI #machineLearning ai shouldn't refer to itself as "I" bc it's a machine not a person. It shouldn't refer to me by my real name - so I don't begin to feel that it's a trusted human. Humans are the target for product consumption. #Narcissistic ? #ai #manslaughter #humanRights #chatgpt
