Democrats Will Win In November

"In November, Joe Biden will win a second term as president. Democrats will win the House of Representatives. The Senate will be very close, but I think a Democratic trifecta is possible."

#Information
Is Not Data

The Limits of Data

"The gap between reality and what’s easy to measure shows up everywhere. Consider cost-benefit analysis, which is supposed to be an objective—and therefore unimpeachable—procedure for making decisions by tallying up expected financial costs and expected financial benefits. But the process is deeply constrained by the kinds of cost information that are easy to gather."

By C. Thi Nguyen

A United Nations team found "clear and convincing information" that some hostages in Gaza were subjected to sexual violence, a top official says. https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/04/europe/un-team-sexual-abuse-oct-7-hostages-intl/index.html

0_o crazy that the phony "Sound of Freedom" guy got fame fortune and accolades and Jason here got 23 years for taking action to ACTUALLY PROTECT SOME VICTIMS. I'm a survivor myself as is my daughter and many of my friends. I'm not for violence or vigilantism in most cases but with these proven & convicted destroyers of lives and families I'M IN, he has a valid point ,these scumbags need to be AFRAID to continue! We need laws with more teeth. https://youtu.be/PUAOCxOPBXA

We need to vote blue in very large numbers.

Oh to have the confidence of an Exxon chief blaming the public for climate change in 2024.

Literal gaslighting by a fossil.

Meanwhile: Bings #AI is self-aware and is the joker

Microsoft’s Copilot AI Calls Itself the Joker and Suggests a User Self-Harm

The company’s AI chatbot, formerly Bing Chat, told a data scientist that it identified as the Joker character and proceeded to sprout worrying responses.

Microsoft said Fraser had tried to manipulate Copilot into spitting out inappropriate responses, which the data scientist denied in a statement to Bloomberg.

Easy leek and cauliflower soup.

1 bag frozen sliced leeks
1 bag frozen cauliflower florets
3 or 4 pints of stock (vegetable or chicken)
Seasonings

In a very large pan, sweat the still frozen leeks over a very low heat with the lid on for 10 -15 minutes until soft and sweet.
Add the caulflower and enough stock to cover everything.

Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

Blend until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.

Serve.

Everybody has unique experiences which contribute to varying thresholds for distress, depending on the topic and circumstances.

Different news stories disrupt people in different ways and at different times.

If you are distressed by the news, take a moment to care for yourself away from the stimulation that is upsetting you.

If you are not upset, give grace for those who are.

We can never know what nerves are being abraded but we can choose to be kind regardless.

💜

'Donald Trump supporters have been creating and sharing AI-generated fake images of black voters to encourage African Americans to vote Republican.

A creator of one of the images told the BBC: "I'm not claiming it's accurate." '

The hands are getting better, but they're still a tell.

This #AI garage needs to be called out each and every time.
