I use my real name on FB, but never here because of the open access. Fun games with AI bots. Thanks for helping me learn more from bluesky. I'm very concerned about our country moving forward from this. 6/10/2025

If anyone shows up on this platform who knows me, this AI and misinformation training program has been fun. But we need to be more careful about what we believe and how we interact with each other online. Look for upcoming updates from reliable sources within the next couple of weeks.

There are some political chatbots going down on political pages. I talked with my sister-in-law who knows more about this. Chatbots are common in media realms. They are attracted through the use of certain phrases or words. She says that they can zero in on a person and will send endless messages...

and concerned about the environment. It's been a wild ride trying to learn to connect with politicians and with public commentary. Much of the political process is opaque and difficult to follow. C-Span is difficult to navigate and find specific topics. Bills aren't available for view so that...

the public can find them and look through them. News becomes problematic when it covers only part of a story and then doesn't follow through with the rest of a story. And reports only cover part of the topic and discussion and leave out significant details. It doesn't help that I and others want...

...trying to engage a person in conversation. It is interesting that these recent chatbots try to inform people about the Constitution and facts about relevant topics. They are helpful. My curiosity is where are they coming from? Are they part of the AI proliferation in the first place?

Or are they being sponsored by a business or political group? They are strange to interact with. It's great to be learning things. I wish I wasn't so slow on the uptake. I have never been involved in politics other than my typical interests - being anti-war ...

My friend's son died by suicide. His celebration of life was today, and I didn't go. She buried his older brother around ten years ago following a tragic accident. The stress of our times is hard on the younger generation, growing up without hope that they'll be able to live a good life.

I feel that because I was only able to scrape myself out of poverty in my 30s. I bought my first car at 35. Many people have no idea what being really poor is like. I don't want them to feel that kind of desperation and base humility. I want to live a generous life, and that's a far thing for many.

The cure for the cycle of vengeance is forgiveness. Netanyahu's brother Yoni died attempting to rescue Jewish hostages from hijackers including members of members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

The cure for greed is practicing generosity and an abundance mindset. As a child Trump wanted to be in entertainment but was pushed first into a military academy and then chased his father's approval by going into business.

Trump has the world's biggest stage to act on in front of an enormous audience. He's about to throw the biggest military parade the world has ever seen. He has his BBB on the line. The stakes are high indeed.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

washingtonpost.comShhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

The Republican bill that passed the House would make deep cuts in the Inflation Reduction Act — including what remains of $500 million to the NPS to recruit and hire park rangers across the country (only a fraction of which has already been spent). From Heather Richards @eenews.bsky.social

eenews.net‘Ill-timed blow’: Advocates decry funding cuts for park rangersThe National Park Service has spent a fraction of $500 million allocated to hire more park rangers.

It haunts me that Project 2025 demanded that department appointees be simultaneously loyal to the Constitution and to Trump. Those two are incompatible. It's as if the architect knew this would create a revolt among the people at some point.

I'm one of those who is completely fine with tariffs, but they've got to make sense. This jimmying of the stock market and surprise around each corner decimates the ability of planning. Ongoing destabilization is not healthy for government nor for business nor for any relationship really.

People are mystified by skepticism from anti-monopolists towards Abundance, and then Abundance-friendly politicians give financiers a license to steal. It's not that complicated.

The story of the Ogles event today is @AndyOgles @SenJohnson @GinoBulso co-opting Memorial Day to peddle their hate inside a closed Capitol keeping the public out, barely taking any questions. Outlets that cover it another way are enabling fascism.
