A faulty memory,,

not perfect or for a fool

Memories can chill

Hard places with no escape

Biting with bitter pain

You never know

You never know

As memories like mold

Change their form

And seem so dangerous

With tremendous power

Scare from hour to hour

The illussions of intelligence

It is just an illusion

Such imagination!

I would love to see more g rated stuff injected into the "adult" world.

Are adults so sure that they are being adults anyway?  Please define the adult world as not sex and violence or taboos or cussing or making it big etc...

We live on a sunshine planet,

so be a little sunshine

At least every so often

To hug

And to laugh

As you must be special
Anyone

Seriously

This flaw will be the death of us

Remember the specialness

Give up on being the best

We are all more human

More than it seems

A sunshine love machine

Or jelly beans!

So get your special on!

My country

At this moment

I do not know what to make of thee

Are you snarky and sneaky

Or are you big hearted and amazing


I love my country

I get to love it more

It has its mystery

Yet chains are wiggling

I know something is wrong

And I can't make it right myself

I pray

Though I am not religious.

So to look to the future?

by the end of this year I imagine being able to see the way things are going better.  Just glad to be alive now.  My grandma taught me to be a form of pessimist.  Also to ask the questions that any good pessimist would ask!  Assuming that this sort of pessimism is in hope of optimism.  Assuming that there must be somewhere or somehow that true optimism exists.  This optimism is the diamond emotion, and is considered rare.  The acceptance of a reality with no possibility of optimism is hard to ensure from this perspective.  So pessimistic solutions are desperate ones in which people don't think things through.  A good idea is to live in a balanced state, as it may be difficult to do, difficult enough to matter.

Angelina Jolie may be the winner with her international project to stop violence against women and increase education and participation in society and government!

My hat is off and I salute you and give you a pin of honor.  Thank you!

How does this work if they are protesting ai?The intersection of anti-Zionist activism and the anti-AI/anti-tech movement in the Bay Area doesn't rely on strict, formal logic. Instead, it works through a concept activist circles call intersectionality—the idea that all systems of oppression are interconnected, meaning the "enemy" in one struggle must be the enemy in all struggles.When radical activists march against artificial intelligence, they weave their anti-Zionist framework directly into the protest using three primary dynamics:1. The "Gaza as a Tech Lab" NarrativeIn these protests, tech platforms and AI models are not viewed as neutral pieces of software. Activists explicitly target major tech companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Palantir by arguing that their AI infrastructure, cloud computing, and surveillance tools are directly tested on Palestinians before being sold globally.The Rhetoric: Protest signs at anti-AI rallies in San Francisco frequently link automated drone technology, facial recognition algorithms, and data centers directly to military actions in the Middle East.The Impact: Because of this narrative, any local tech worker, developer, or executive who identifies as a Zionist—or simply refuses to sign anti-Israel petitions—is labeled by activist groups as an active participant in automated warfare.2. The Weaponization of Workplace "Tech Walkouts"The anti-tech movement heavily relies on staging disruptions inside major corporate campuses. When radical groups organize these actions, they deliberately bundle anti-AI concerns and anti-Zionist demands into a single, non-negotiable package.Corporate Litmus Tests: Activists pushing back against their companies' AI development will simultaneously demand the termination of corporate contracts with the Israeli government or Israeli tech firms.Social Exclusion: If a Jewish tech employee wants to protest AI safety, data privacy, or labor exploitation at their company, they are often forced to choose between staying silent or joining a march that features aggressive anti-Zionist chants. If they voice discomfort, the activist mob dynamic takes over, and they are publicly shamed as being "pro-war."3. Shared Organizational NetworksThe simplest reason these two issues blend together is that the exact same people are running both movements. The grassroots organizers, student groups, and radical coalitions leading the anti-AI marches outside City Hall are the same individuals organizing the boycotts of Jewish-owned businesses.Because these activist spaces operate on intense social conformity and moral absolutism, the causes naturally bleed into one another. A rally that starts out focusing on the environmental impact of data centers in the East Bay will almost seamlessly pivot into anti-Zionist chants, because the crowd views "global capitalism, tech monopolies, and Zionism" as a single monolithic monster.For a mainstream Jewish tech worker or resident in the Bay Area, this means there is virtually no "safe" progressive space left. Even an issue as seemingly unrelated as artificial intelligence safety has been fully absorbed into the region's fierce geopolitical cultural war.
