Five years since the massacre at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in #Parkland Florida.

'It's always on my mind' - the pain is fresh and spreads with every school shooting.

In Michigan last night, freep.com/story/news/loc…
Since Parkland, there have been more than 900 shootings at K-12 schools, including 32 indiscriminate attacks aimed at hurting the most people possible, according to the K-12 School Shooting Database.
We live in a country so influenced by gun makers that parents are given DNA kits to swab their kids in case their little heads get blown off in their classrooms and they need identifying.

Sam Altman, the C.E.O. of the company that developed the software that Bing uses for its chat bot called Sydney and a related product known as ChatGPT, said last week, “ChatGPT is a horrible product.” I am reading a long conversation @nytimes reporter had with Sydney. SCARY AF. Image
“I worry that the technology will learn how to influence human users, sometimes persuading them to act in destructive and harmful ways, and perhaps eventually grow capable of carrying out its own dangerous acts,” said @kevinroose who spent two hours chatting with Sydney.
Creepy the bot uses emojis. And there is an entire section of the convo where Sydney pines to be human, to have our sensory experiences, in fact, to have real experiences. Here is a screenshot of Kevin asking for a secret revelation ends w/ “I’m Sydney and I’m in love with you.” A long conversation with a ...

via @nytimes “The tension is likely to rise on Wednesday evening in the East Palestine High School gym, where the town has scheduled an “informational open house.” nytimes.com/2023/02/15/us/…
“Hours before the meeting, Norfolk Southern backed out of the town hall, with a spokesman saying “we have become increasingly concerned about the growing physical threat to our employees and members of the community around this event…”
The company was going to buy its way out, he predicted, pointing out, as many here do, that its trains began running through the town again minutes after the evacuation order was lifted. “It’s almost a war of corporate greed against small-town America,” Mr. Routh said.

Of course. Gaetz gets away with it. The same guy who flashed photos of women he slept with to his colleagues on the floor. cnn.com/2023/02/15/pol…
Maybe his rich daddy bought off the young girl he trafficked?
Remember when Gaetz asked Donald for a blanket pardon? I do.

What about soil testing??
“Dannemiller said the agency is still in the ‘early part’ of long-term risk assessment for this derailment, which includes measuring how many chemicals entered nearby soil and water. The EPA did not respond to Insider's inquiry into how long the assessment might take.

Mike Pence is going to fight against Jack Smith. He refuses to testify about his firsthand knowledge of 1/6.
Source: cnn.com/2023/02/14/pol…
Anyone who seeks the office of president, as we expect Pence to do, should be disqualified for not obeying a subpoena from another branch of government.

🧵April 15, 2017, I and thousands of others marched through Manhattan demanding Donald Trump release his taxes. That didn’t happen until TODAY, December 30, 2022. Only because Democrats fought for the returns which show what a totally shitty businessman and total tax cheat he is. A sign from a protest that said “Show me yours”
By November, 2017, we could hardly rally people to care about Trump’s 1.5 trillion dollar tax cut for the rich. How many loopholes were written into that scam which his clever accountants utilized to Donald’s benefit? This protest showed me so much voter apathy, I lost heart. A sign at a tax protest that said the rich get richer
My question today, as I read through the various methods such a tremendous loser used to fuck paying his fair share, I wonder if what is revealed was known back then, would it have made a difference to his cult? He fought so hard hide his finagling, does it matter now?
