Silent AJ Speaks

I am once again begging people to realize that AI checker doesn’t work. it’s never worked. it’s notoriously known to have flagged human-made works as AI and AI-generated works as human-made. and by feeding it people’s works, you are feeding more works to AI, because apparently the machine itself is AI.

I use 5calls.org which makes it pretty easy. I've been calling and bothering my reps basically every day since January because it makes me feel slightly better. Today, it's essential we flood the phones. Don't make this easy on them. Make your voice heard!

Not only does it do what is listed above, it also bans HRT care under ACA plans. Care about trans people? Use hormone therapy? Call.

It puts a 10 year ban on regulating AI. Not just at the federal level. States that have AI regulations law, no matter how minor, this would over rule that. Don’t want your rent set by AI or jobs outsourced to it or the plagiarism machine to have 0 breaks? Contact your senators.

It gives a whole bunch of money for ICE and their detentions centers.

If taking food and healthcare from people wasn’t enough, it also is going to make the rich so much richer while making you, your family, all your friends and colleagues worse off.

All of us know the damage this administration is going for. This bill will not save the average American a red cent but will instead cut much needed, much used public social programs as well as place a burden on your average citizen in order to put money into the pockets of a handful of billionaires. And for many of these senators their job is on the line in less than a year and half. You need to call to remind them that you do not want this and that you vote.

For example, one of my senators. Thom Tillis, only won by less than two points. He is on the thinnest of ice here and he knows it. I called him today and reminded him that one, I am an active voter, I do not want this bill to pass and I will be watching him. That a vote for this bill "would not be good for his career."

you pet your dog and the atoms that are you brush up against the atoms that are him, and the electrons that are you press into the electrons that are him, and both of them change their movement.

electrons of course are not really particles and do not really move.

The video was taken from surveillance cameras. Three girls on the Paris metro were exposed to “harassment” (group sexual assault), which is a common crime in Paris by some young men to lure girls into these places… but unfortunately for them, the girls who were attacked this time were from the special paratroopers squad. In the French army… and well trained! (refreshed post)

Well, you wonder why I always dress in black

Why you never see bright colors on my back

And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone

Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on

I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down

Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town

I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime

But is there because he's a victim of the times

I wear the black for those who've never read

Or listened to the words that Jesus said

About the road to happiness through love and charity

Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me

Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose

In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes

But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back

Up front there ought to be a man in black

I wear it for the sick and lonely old

For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold

I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been

Each week we lose a hundred fine young men

And I wear it for the thousands who have died

Believin' that the Lord was on their side

I wear it for another hundred-thousand who have died

Believin' that we all were on their side

Well, there's things that never will be right, I know

And things need changin' everywhere you go

But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right

You'll never see me wear a suit of white

Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day

And tell the world that everything's okay

But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back

'Til things are brighter, I'm the man in black

That right there is an anti-war, anti-bigot, anti-mass-incarceration, anti-war-on-drugs (Cash was an addict in various stages of recovery who was pissed as hell about how this country treats people with substance issues), eat-the-rich protest song. And it was arguably his signature song, his personal manifesto. Notice that even the Jesus reference, which today would be a signal that the song is about to drop some racist dogwhistles, segues immediately into a line about "the road to happiness through love and charity". As in "Motherfucker, our shared god said love thy neighbor and care for the poor and the outsider, and we both know he didn't fucking stutter." He's throwing shade at self-described Christians who use his religion as a cudgel to beat people with.

Johnny Cash wasn't a conservative. I'm pretty sure if he were alive and in reasonably good health today, he'd knock Jason Aldean's teeth out (or, failing that, write a song so devastatingly memetic about how much Aldean sucks that Aldean would never work in music again).
