Good morning from Little Miss Attitude who knew right away on inauguration night that President Biden would calm things down and get America back in track. She’s not the least bit surprised that he went to #Ukraine to support #VolodymyrZelenskyy and the #Ukrainian people in their epic battle against the forces of true evil. #SlavaUkrainii
Morning thought:
Your parents might be/have been, and hopefully are or were very good people. But they're not infinitely wise; the way they did things was a combination of their own understanding and intuition and the kind of society they lived in.
You are a different person, in difference circumstances, with your own understanding of the world. The fact that your parents did things one way is not a sufficient reason for you doing things the same way.
People on both sides of the line like to mock other people whom they don't like as being "fragile" or "snowflakes."
And it's true, there's a lot of fragility out there. But someone should ask: Are we fragile because we're weak? Or are we fragile because, over and over again, someone is trying to break us?
Nobody gets to go into someone else's house, smash their belongings, and say it's the other person's fault because the items were "fragile." The same thing goes for people's spirits.

Anybody really surprised the Biden went in person to show support for Ukraine? When his trip to Poland was announced, I chuckled. 'Yeah, Poland, sure Joe. You are gonna go in person to show support to Ukraine.'
The only surprise to me was the horrible failures of editing at WaPo. Somebody needs to check on them and see if any are alive. Jeeze, repeating whole sentences/paragraphs?

And while we're talking, I hope everyone is using an audited and open-source password manager and generating unique, long, and random complex passwords for each of your accounts. Don't use a password vault but only exists in your web browser or operating system. Use one on the privacytools page linked above. I recommend Bitwarden, but that page has a couple good options for people who don't want an online vault for their passwords.

This is what shameless looks like.
Republicans will cut funding to police forces, border patrol, senior home heating, and baby formula to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Really.

I've played an awful lot of guitars in my life and still own way too many. I'm regressing a bit in terms of my abilities. Therefore, I am buying a ukulele. I will be performing at nursing homes and assisted living communities all over Cape Cod. It's the gypsy in me. I want to make some people smile. I want to play some Hawaiian music.
Check out this 6 year old kid playing Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana... #cosomusic
@EvilBunny why do Republicans think 18 year olds aren't old enough to vote but they're old enough to go die in foreign countries protecting corporate interests?

Tracking invasive pythons in the Everglades by putting GPS trackers on opposums. The robust, non-native snakes are a menace to native smaller critters. Native mammal populations shrinking drastically, so gotta thin out the breeding snakes people have been dumping.

Russian soldiers KIA are inversely correlated to wealth. So, the lower the income, the higher the death rate. Once again, war is fought by the poor for rich people's ambitions.

Some scary things in the article.
"Think of the Bing chatbot as “autocomplete on steroids,” said Gary Marcus, an AI expert and professor emeritus of psychology and neuroscience at New York University. “It doesn’t really have a clue what it’s saying and it doesn’t really have a moral compass.”
Years ago, FOX News was sued by people fired for not lying on air as ordered. FOX won the lawsuits, sticking to their excuse of being entertainment, not news.
Well, Dominion has the goods about FOX malice this time. Their on-air propagandists new it was all lies, but spewed is anyway, to protect ratings and their own income. They all knew the trump team position that the election was stolen was BS.
It's not journalism when it was deliberate propaganda.
