"In every age... there have been those who struggled for a different world. I believe this is the genius of humankind, the thing that makes us half divine: the fact that some human beings can envision a world that has never existed." Anne Braden

Right out of the box, as he said earlier, Blanche starts to "clean up" the indictment-leak question.
Do you know that on 3/30, court unsealed the indictment? Correct. So what you learned or hear about the indictment on 3/30, it was unsealed, correct?
Please approach—sidebar.

I wish I was tech savvy enough to do this... When I first started, some guy tried to squawk about it, but turned and gave him my teacher face, the chin down eyes over the glasses look.

Trump keeps his eyes closed, moving only to scratch the side of his nose, but otherwise looking unbothered.
Boebert, Gaetz, and Eric sit quietly directly behind him.

I guess I eventually had to disagree with something the administration did/has done. This is it. To be clear: Israel is not all Zionists and Palestine is not all Hamas. But I want no money to Israel now because the Zionists are in charge and have no interest in negotiating a cease-fire.

Christopher Bouzy @cbouzyWe have also been developing Accuracy Alerts for images. The first image is the false claim, and Accuracy Alerts successfully debunk the false claims made in the image.04:30 PM - May 12, 2024Accuracy Alert!
Based on the information provided, it seems that various organizations like and Google have been developing technologies for accurate detection and identification of AI-generated images. There's mention of tools like 's image detection system for images generated by DALL-E 3, Google's Imagen 2, and efforts by the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity. However, there's no clear information about a system named 'Accuracy Alerts' specifically designed for debunking false claims made in images. Therefore, while the development and enhancement of AI image detection tools seem evident, the claim about 'Accuracy Alerts' for images cannot be verified as true from the given sources.

One early Mother's Day pioneer Julia Ward Howe, an abolitionist & suffragette, wrote the Mother's Day Proclamation. It called on women from all nations to work together to promote peace. Her words: "Disarm! Disarm! The sword of murder is not the balance of justice."

I just came in from 3 hours of weeding, thinning, and watering. Too cold to plant much here but there's mint and thyme growing.
Deb @DebbatchI made steamed asparagus to go with my dinner and then made rhubarb orange compote to go with the oven pancake I am making for breakfast. The asparagus and rhubarb came from my garden. I love picking and eating food I grew. #gardening06:15 PM - May 10, 2024

Residents' rationale for pushing back: fire could be bad, no sidewalks, no place for them to go if they leave in anger, and the list goes on. Utterly absurd.

A nice review of consent
RobPalmerIRL (he/him/his) @RobPalmerIRLWhat is consent for sexual activities? It's pretty simple. Consent is permission, mutual permission to do any sexual activities. When I talk about that, I don't mean just the main act of intercourse, I'm talking about sexting, sharing nudes, and even masturbation and oral sex. That's the thing.10:13 PM - May 07, 2024

Some people want to splash and make noise. Others try minding their business. Some want to dive in. Others are more discreet. A few are lifeguards, observing and watching. And most are outside the pool area, lurking.

I dislike diaper jokes because there are many adults like some of my patients who have Crohn's or IBD who must wear them.
SLS StickFigure @SLS_StickFigureWhen people use such titillating issues as attacks, they indeed hurt innocent others, and they also give the MAGA fascists a new thing to embrace. We're seeing that happen right now with these misguided diaper jokes. We shouldn't be giving the fascists ammunition. Stick to what actually matters!04:42 PM - May 06, 2024
