I’m not gonna lie I fell for the honey pot one year and voted Jill Stein. It’s easy to get frustrated and want to try *anything else*. Being a responsible voter can be difficult. It takes time and energy to actually research and understand and make good choices. But she ain’t it

"Since returning to the White House in January, President Trump has dismantled the American government’s efforts to combat foreign disinformation. The problem is that Russia has not stopped spreading it.
How much that matters can now be seen in Moldova, a small but strategic European nation that has since the end of the Cold War looked to Europe and the United States to extract itself from Moscow’s shadow." https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/business/russia-disinformation-trump.html

'President Trump, speaking to reporters before he departed the White House for the U.S. Open on Sunday, addressed his alarming social media post Saturday that invoked his newly rebranded Department of War and included helicopters, billowing flames and the Chicago skyline. Asked whether he was “threatening to go to war with Chicago,” Trump said: “We’re not going to war. We’re going to clean up our cities.”' https://www.nytimes.com/by/erica-l-green

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:(

- will not knowingly make world worse and/or abet genocides
- will not be forced to use vibe coding (or will explain cost implications)
- prefer to work in the open
- prefer remote only

@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.
