Hi, I’m Bella! Midwestern goober with a penchant for reading, writing, and listening. My favorite color is sky-blue, favorite musical group is Flogging Molly, my most-read author is Steven King. I’m bad at social media 😅 Also, AI can go to hell 🤮

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

I do love that AI inadvertently confirms that our brains work like a muscle, too — use it or lose it. In this way relying on AI is like using a robot to lift weights, like running a marathon in a Honda Civic. You get nothing out of it.

Research confirms that the more skilled professionals like doctors and software engineers rely on AI, the more their skills degrade. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

This has been a project of the ruling class in both ruling political parties for decades if not since the birth of this stupid nation. We are doing what we can and also not broadcasting intentions on social media bc of aforementioned technocratic police state. But I'm sure you've got a cool plan

"Why don't Americans-" The ruling class of America has intentionally disempowered its citizens spread across 3,000+ miles of land and then funded the police force as an occupying army that happily murders anyone who opposes them and imprisons whoever is left as slave laborers. So phone calls it is

"He was carrying--" "Well she shouldn't have been--" "He was planning--" You're telling me this nation, currently ruled by decree and not legislation, now condones vigilante execution too? This year marks the 250th anniversary of the United States. But to hear you talk--America died at 249.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was killed by a federal officer in Minneapolis. Family members say he was an intensive care nurse at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital who cared deeply about people and was upset by President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in his city.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

To yous outside the U.S: These days I take every stupid threat and implication from the orange stain seriously because he’s proven he’s daft enough to follow through on even the most unhinged bullshit if it serves his or his rich buddies’ interests. Shit’s out of control here, brace yourselves.

To anyone outside the U.S: unfortunately we have no real way to remove the guy in office who was elected by a very slim majority of our small subset of active voters and who currently holds a historically low approval rating. Some of us voted against this mess three goddamn times in a row. Sorry.

My democratic rep told me ICE keeps hurting his constituents so I asked how many constituents he has and he said he just goes to actblue and asks for more donations to do nothing so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding his constituents to murderers and then my phone lit up asking for a donation
