Shopping for a birthday card for our daughter - the temptation 🙃

Birthday card reads
This Birthday Card is from both of us*
then hand written in red
* although technically HE had nothing to do with it!

Saw this on FB - ChatGPT must be based on Trump!

describes ChatGPT as Mansplaining as a Service, and honestly I can't think of a better description. a service that instantlly generates vaguely plausible sounding, yet totally fabricated and baseless lectures in an instant with unflagging confidence in its own correctness on any topic, without concern, regard or even awareness of the level of expertise of its audience.

Saw this on FB - what a great idea. No how to vote cards have How I voted or How I intend to vote on key issues. Much more informative and might improve the accountability of politicians across all parties.

A How I voted card, show a politician with a list of key areas and how the voted on issues that matter.
Health more bulk billing - For
Cost of Living Tax Cuts for Big Business - Against
Family Support Increased payments for families- Against
Education Fully Funded Public education - Against
Climate Action Stronger action on climate change - For
integrity Establish a Federal Integrity Commission - For
Suggesting rather than a How to vote card we should receive a How they Voted (or Intend to Vote) card.

Spectacular Gardens by the Bay in Singapore. There are real plants up the trunks, the canopy has solar panels and collects rainwater.

In Singapore there are lots of birds I know nothing about. But I saw this one yesterday while walking around Fort Siloso on Sentosa Island. My phone picture is nowhere near your standard.

It does matter, would also like a definition of smart. Book smart, street smart, emotionally smart?

The say 'the machines of the future' will be as smart as people... OK, but WHICH people? Because it matters quite a bit.

The alarm says get up, the weather says stay in bed. Currently gusting wind & rain. Going to be an interesting day.

"The final stages of capitalism, Karl Marx predicted, would be marked by global capital being unable to expand & generate profits at previous levels. Capitalists would begin to consume the government along with the physical & social structures that sustained them. Democracy, social welfare, electoral participation, the common good & investment in public transportation, roads, bridges, utilities, industry, education, ecosystem protection & healthcare would be sacrificed to feed the mania for short-term profit. These assaults would destroy the host" The brilliance of Chris Hedges American Journalist & Writer

I realise ICE are wearing face coverings not masks but still.

White text on red background. WE heard for over two years that "we can't breathe with masks on" and now ICE can't seem to function without one.

Actually this is true whether they are my friends or not. Equal rights are human rights. Equal rights does not diminish my rights it makes the world a better place 🏳️‍🌈🌈

With June being Pride month I want to say this:
I wholeheartedly support my gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender & queer friends. Their rights, their marriages, their pursuit of happiness & their breathe. This also applies for July thru May.
