The depth of the stupidity of these authoritarian, MAGA Republicans is ASTOUNDING!!

They are refusing to certify elections in several of their countries.. BUT deadline is approaching and without their votes Democrats will be winners even though Republicans actually won 😝😜🤪

This week saw a paper published by a German, Italian, Swiss, and American academic team regarding a successful research project where three participants with tetraplegic spinal-cord injuries (paralyzed from the shoulders down) successfully controlled an electric wheelchair with their minds. This included navigating, steering, turning, and controlling the speed of the chair through a hospital obstacle course with an impressive 95 to 98% accuracy.

Never, ever, ever normalize mass shootings.

This is not normal.
This does not have to happen.
This does not have to keep happening.

Remember when they told us not to eat butter? Now good cholesterol may not be so good for everyone?
Do what you want in moderation. Except street drugs. Those will kill you.

It seems the majority of this country worships ego, money, and guns. Politicians impose their so called religion on us, pocket the money, then feign prayers for us after we are mowed down in stores, schools, churches, temples.

I was born here. I served in the US Army.

This country does not live out to its ideals—My family & I are not safe here. There’s no way in hell we belong here. It’s not who we are.

I’m so sick of feeling watching people be hurt and feeling powerless to stop it.

I have some great support staff who come to my home and help me along with everyday activities and drive me to places I need to go. I honestly do not know how I would live at all without them.

So I just wanted to give a bit shout out and thank you to anyone who does this type of job.

They have literally given me my life back.

There is a shitload of stigma associated with the term, "Mental Illness."

I want to banish that term from the English Language (and all others for that matter).

Just imagine it, "babe, I'll be right back, going to run to Walmart and grab some ingredients for thanksgiving.
*💋before walking out.
Walks in Walmart, standing in the aisle looking for yeast and powdered sugar, hear a firework and look up, man rounds the endcap and points a gun at you and fires. Husband sitting at home unaware of anything and politicians start tweeting "thoughts and prayers" ENOUGH!!

My wife came out of surgery on Monday and immediately asked the nurse for a mimosa.

Nurse: Aw. She’s still feeling the anesthesia.

Me: Sure she is.

We have a problem with guns, and we inadvertently help to sustain that problem.

When a mass shooting occurs, we blame Republicans writ large, despite the fact that gun ownership is not limited to Republicans, and despite the fact that most gun owners support reasonable reforms.

Our lack of nuance perpetuates inaction by casting fault lines along tired partisan divides, preventing us from coming together to shun a minority of gun zealots, giving their electeds excuses to keep doing nothing.

I also have another one which tells you where you are in the journey, if you're on a bus for example. It tells you which road you are on and which roads you are going past.

It's not failsafe, but it's pretty amazing. I used to use it all the time when I was using buses. It saves keep; asking folk where you are!



I have been trialling some new potential AI apps (a bit like 'AI See') and they supposedly will describe photos and images. I must admit, some of them are remarkable. Others not so much! I have a couple of fully completed ones which help you to find things, you sweep the camera about and it tells you 'mug' or 'cat' when you're in the right direction.

AI really can be amazing.

Matt Walsh, a prominent conservative YouTuber known for his criticism of LGBTQ people, published a video on Tuesday titled, “Why The Left Is So Desperate To Expose Children To Drag Queens.” Walsh, who has 1.9 million YouTube subscribers, called the shooting “tragic” but doubled down on his attacks on drag queens. 🏳️‍🌈
