friends are now sick with covid, caught from their kid who had been going to school where the mask requirement was dropped.

and get this, when their kid tested positive they called the school to be sure his class would be notified, they were told "We aren't doing that anymore." so had to call the parents on their own.

Today's dumb argument: whether the cars in Cars are AI or transhuman

is thi,,s, m.Y wife????

!!!!

Our brains literally evolved to NOT pay attention to boring stuff

We are forced to do boring things because that keeps other folks wealthy

The reason why you want to do hobbies all day is that you were supposed to be an artisan

Artisans were once seen to be the clearest sign of civilisation, not a burden

We have enough food now that all humanity could master the lyre

But we have chosen coin

and coin does not sing

Customs agent stops me and pulls an apple out of my luggage.

"What is this?" he demands.

"Fruit," I answer innocently. "You must respect it."

He holds it out to a uniformed dog, who growls. Rolling his eyes, he takes out a knife and cuts the fruit open.

Within the fruit is a small, plastic bag.

Within the bag is another, smaller apple.

"Very funny," he spits as he begins cutting into that second apple.

He stops.

A powerful, sweet smell is emanating from everywhere at once.

He looks back at me, but I am no longer there.

Nervously, he cuts into the apple. As this happens, a gigantic steel beam slices through the roof.

He drops the apple in shock, and it splits in half upon hitting the ground. The roof, likewise, is peeled back to reveal me, now a giant holding a big knife.

"How does it feel?" I ask, just as innocently, although my booming voice can no longer convey emotion in a comprehensible manner.

Nervously, he looks down at the apple he dropped. Inside it, there's a small person.

It is him.

Here’s How #Homelessness And Politics Meet Amid An HIV Outbreak In One US City

it will never not boggle my mind that at one point during the great depression the federal government was literally paying for anywhere between 3,000-8,000 people to do archives field work in every county in the United States during the latter half of the 1930s. THE 21ST CENTURY DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY.

So, assuming that at some point in the next year or so the entire global economy goes in to some kind of a tailspin leaving lots of people unemployed or underemployed and tanking a lot of businesses, and making a very few very rich, what can we do to minimize the way this harms people?

I can't impact the global economy, but I'm trying to figure out what I can do to keep things safe and stable in my local community.

Happy May Day. Arm your desires, liberate your time, snatch back your dignity.
