I keep seeing headlines about a certain dead felon and his "files". But I'm angry about the concentration camps.
I don't like living in interesting times.
Some articles I ran across:
- Google’s AI Is Destroying Search, the Internet, and Your Brain
- The Landlord Gutting America’s Hospitals
- 'Hell on Earth': Venezuelans deported to El Salvador mega-prison tell of brutal abuse
Feel free to rant in the comments.
I’m not liking these interesting times
ReplyDeleteI don’t like these interesting times either, but then I think of my mother whose teenage years were spent in the depression and , experienced the homefront in World War II working in a factory for the war effort. Being Jewish, she had to face daily discrimination. She experienced rationing, fear, and the nightly having to block lights during blackout periods. I grew up knowing survivors of concentration camps. Now, we have them here. I sometimes wonder why it would’ve been like if social media existed in 1930s Germany. We are finding out way too much about why the German population be behaved as they did because we see echoes of that in our daily lives.
ReplyDeleteI never wanted to understand why people did what they did in 1930s Germany, and yet, here we are...
DeleteThere's so much bad stuff going on right now.
ReplyDeleteThat graph is inaccurate. If you go to ICE's website, the 2025 arrests include 14842 w/criminal charges, 7886 w/pending criminal charges, and 3878 other immigration violation. So, 6 out of 7 are indeed criminals.
ReplyDeleteYou believe what ICE says? "Criminal" may merely be undocumented and swept up when they tried to appear at legally scheduled hearings.
DeleteYes, I do - where else would anyone get statistics if not from them? If not, then other sources are making stuff up. And since "immigration violation" likely means they crossed illegally, then technically they are all criminals. (First offense, misdemeanor, second illegal crossing, felony.)
DeleteWhy should we believe the masked secret police that are snatching people and they lying about it?
DeletePersonally, I am leaning heavily into AI. It is a wonderful tool. It has become my editor, my doctor, my therapist and my Lego project advisor.
ReplyDeleteWow, that guy is good.
