If the BLS doesn’t release monthly employment data, does that mean monthly unemployment doesn’t exist? #bls #unemployment #laborstatistics

I'm not sure if this is an accurate report or not, but I've read that Truth Social's AI chatbot has been contradicting TFG. For instance, it says that he lost the 2020 election if you ask it about that. If this is accurate reporting, I am pleased. If it isn't accurate reporting, you may return to your #doomscrolling #ai #truthsocial #chatbot

#freedc The rationalization of some TV journalists saying that the federalization of DC’s metropolitan police department will help citizens there “feel” safer (violent crime is down in DC dramatically) is ridiculous. They are being disingenuous. This is not normal, is a strategic distraction by the WH away from the Epstein files debacle and is a completely unnecessary overreach. Also, if TFG could do this now, why didn’t he call in the national guard on Jan. 6th 2021?

Overpass in Washington, DC with flag of DC (white with 2 red horizontal bats and 3 red stars). The words, “FREE DC” are in red on the flag. Cars and a pedestrian are on the overpass that has 2 traffic lights and a yellow Diamond-shaped traffic sign (“Be prepared to stop after left turn”). The Capital building’s dome is in the distance. A lone motorcyclist is on the road beneath the overpass.

Blistered, steam sautéed green beans (w/splash of white wine and garlic). The beans were just picked from our garden yesterday. (Thanks @allisonhooper@mas.to !) They were delicious! 😋😋

Black & white cartoon. Black man in striped shirt & blazer at coffee bar with pitchers of coffee and a crowd behind them asks a white guy in white shirt and blazer who’s pouring a cup of coffee for himself: “Any plans for the weekend, or for escaping the incoming totalitarian regime?”

Sometimes I feel like I'm living through a period of great historical consequence, but that a lot of other people just don't care or are oblivious to what's going on.

Climate crises; a pandemic; human migrations; animal species die-offs; new technologies we can't grapple with humanely because we haven't evolved enough (AI, the internet); also, rising authoritarianism and continued prejudice and violence. I pray the arts, science, humor and basic empathy can help us get through it all.
