In the middle of July
I sold the most precious necklace to my heart, the one my grandma gifted me the moment I first saw the light outside my mom's womb. It hung around my neck for 22 yrs. We were in the midst of a severe famine,& after numerous attempts to find a bit of cash to avoid starving, we made the decision to sell it.With it's money,we bought a little of lentils & chickpeas,enough for a meal to last just one day.Whenever I see pic of myself wearing it, my eyes well up w tears:(

@cbzo Indeed. Working in tech for 30 years, one of the first things I learned was that in most IT projects, humans are seen as the problem to solve. The underlying philosophy of tech is to replace problematic humans. AI is a natural progression of that thinking.

Reported in insulting terms by both BBC and Guardian, this was a moving powerful determined interethnic, intergenerational demo. People were down on the grass for seven hot hours in the sun while the predatory police circled like wolves to pick people off. Once scooped up, they faced a slow, shuffling walk 2-3 hours along Millbank, stiff and sore after the sitting. Then got loaded in vans that needed holding patterns like planes 3-4 hours before they could find cells to put us in.
Arrested at 8:30pm, I didn't get to a cell till 4:30 the next morning! Never such a gruesome arrest.
Why wouldn't we shout 'Shame on you' to these police following the orders of the more than complicit and corrupt government? But there was also dialogue and banter between officers & arrestees both coming from all corners of England and Wales, with outbursts of song flooding along the moonlit Embankment. Human.

Who but Alexandra Petri would write an article entitled Florida Decided There Were Too Many Children?
"Florida is the first state to take the courageous step toward decluttering itself of excess children, but under the inexpert guidance of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., other states may follow.
"If we lose herd immunity, we will bring back diseases that had formerly been eliminated, and some children who would otherwise have been protected will perish. But no price is too high to pay in this pointless war against decades of lifesaving science."
