Ok...I'm livid at the moment. #Apple has decided, even though I literally told it not too, that I need #AI to put random corprate bullshit in my #Calendar!
Its my calendar, not the corporations.
I updated my iPad this morning and just now got a calendar 'invitation' to review some 'benefit' from a 'membership' to Walmart. I'm on my husbands memembership for #Sam'sClub...
This is the #Enshittification no one asked for.
There is no controversy/division about #ClimateChange with more than 80% of people polled. The only question is; how long will we put up with fossil fuel corporations killing us? #ClimateActionNow

This is not right... even though the majority of western Colorado voted for this administration. Now critical infrastructure is in disrepair. This will continue to happen as long as trump is in office and his sycophants. Politics has reached a level of stupidity (cruelty) I never thought possible.

Q8; looking to convert my Electra Cruiser to an e-bike; does anyone have recommendations or stay away from advice for finding a decent one? (So many out there).
Q9; are they worth it?

Is this really the 'government' people in the US want? Only one person in the government ok'd Musk and his sycophants to run amok through our government.
This is Our government, for The People, By the People, For The Good of the People. This is not Musks or Trumps f**king playground to test out whether AI works. Or for them to play god with people's data.
We need to be in the streets protesting against this fascist takeover, like yesterday.
If Senator Booker can stand up to Congress for over 24 hours...I can get my ass out to protest on April 5th for a few hours to try and save Our Democracy!

I'm cancer free because of the doctors and surgeons at Anschutz Cancer Pavillon. They took it seriously from the get go and had so many resources for patients, including support groups.
I can't even imagine how current patients dealing with any illness and relies on research from Anschutz is feeling right now.
I know I'm pissed as hell and saddened that other people will suffer.

Suncor has been the worst neighbor in Colorado for decades. They've repeatedly violated Clean Air standards and emission limits and only recently actually been held accountable. But not by much, as the fines are not effectively creating chnage from Suncor executives.
And now this...fossil fuel companies have far too much leverage with politicians.

Very sad news. He was such a kind person and a great ally to #Autists. With a colleague we had a lovely chat with Steve during one of his visits to London in 2019: https://www.flickr.com/photos/acrostich/48127822607/

Save your vote? Uh, we all should know that primary and general elections are two different elections.

To put a very fine point of what is meant by firing ALL Federal Civil Service employees; here's a link to 'who, why, where, how and what', of those employees: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_civil_service
That 99% of all federal employees.
"The Heritage Foundation – which has produced a blueprint for a Trump second term, the 2025 Transition Project, which includes firing the entire federal civil service and replacing it with Trump loyalists, and invoking the Insurrection Act on day one of Trump II to deploy the military against political dissidents – has evidently been behind Tuberville’s attack on the military. It circulated a letter of several far-right ex-military figures to Senate leaders demanding that they “Support Senator Tuberville’s Fight Against Woke Military”, which they denounced for “advancing the leftwing social agenda”."
That should scare the hell out of all US citizens and probably many of the US allies. #ProtectDemocracy

"Taken together, these papers add to our rapidly evolving understanding of the hidden processes driving the decline of Antarctica’s glaciers, and they underscore the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions. “These systems aren’t yet doomed to collapse and add meters to global sea level. It all depends on how much CO2 we continue to add to the atmosphere and the impact of that on ocean warming,” says University of Waterloo glaciologist Christine Dow, coauthor of the groundwater paper. “It’s not too late to prevent their collapse. But, as these models show, we’re running out of time.”"

I do not understand why religious folks feel the need to recite their faith in public. If a person feels they gain from reading or reciting, why can't they do this at home first? Or before the meeting? If its about their personal belief, then doing so before a public meeting should suffice.
Its not really about their "personal" belief.
