I wish it wasn’t so damn painful to say you totally nailed it. Trying to boost my regime and positivity quotient to avoid being crushed and swept away by the madness, the pettiness and the sense of loss that grows seemingly by the hour-and this with consuming less news than in recent memory.
MSNBC covers the horror story pretty well, IMO. Leading prime-time commentators like Lawrence O'Donnell, Joe Scarborough, Joy Reid, Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow, with the aid of their producers, express anger, sarcasm and other critical attitudes clearly and emphatically. Afternoon, second-tier and weekend commentators also emphasize the outrageousness of the situation. The guests on their shows are knowledgeable and experienced as well as outspoken.
Scary, in a way. I feel for artists who are going to lose work because of GPT, but on the other hand, knowing that I couldn’t pay a fair price if I wanted graphic art for a poem, or whatever, GPT is an awfully attractive option. Free and good. I had a long back and forth on GPT about finding a Van Morrison song from the soundtrack to Belfast. It gave me wrong answers, mixed with correct lyrics and garnered two strikes before it got it right. It said it was coded to prioritize speed over accuracy, and if I wanted accurate answers I either had to question them as they came up, or demand precise answers on the front end even if it caused the function to slow down. The creepiest part is how it apologized after I called the answers out as being wrong - and kind of reacted like a frightened adolescent as it apologized and tried again - getting it wrong again.
None of this seemed possible. I certainly underestimated the power of amerikkkan voters, though my gut screams loudly that this election really was fixed. I also overestimated the Democratic Party's willingness to stop this shit. I've finally accepted that we are not a 2-party system, but rather a splintered 1-party system.
Gave up on mainstream mefia long ago, both sides. Too much corporate capture, which has now punched up and out like a big toxic orange toadstool.
I remember watching the non-stop loop of the the AA plane slicing into the tower. Then was walking through a market and saw a cereal box with a big AA plane on it, some kind of promotion. Part of me said that we should ban all images of AA planes. Finally realized that we have to stare this thing down and get ready for the next round.
It's not the reporters, it's the executives. The Legacy Media Barons. They are the guilty ones. And for me, the most disappointing is the New York Times and they way they've Sane Washed Trump.

77 million plus voted for him...it boggles the mind.

It's still my network of choice.
Agreed. Great graphic. Any attribution - are you also a graphic artist?
GPT is my graphic artist. I prompted: Image: (title of this post) and this is what it produced.

And now he's taken the Kennedy Center hostage.
If I lose my social security and medicare, I will be street-bound. The meek shall not inherit the earth any time soon.
Seems unlikely they'll do that, but anything is possible.

Fact!

So you are doing what we need to do! Yell it from the rooftops, and never ever go along. A Sieg Heil is not an autistic slip!
It seems to be getting worse. Musk is a Nazi, just like his friend, Kanye West.
Thank you for efforts.
This is a worldwide problem
Where are you located, Walter?
