This is so wonderful. Every state should be implementing programs like this. https://www.bostonherald.com/2023/09/14/universal-free-school-meals-keeping-massachusetts-students-more-awake-during-class/ #FreeSchoolMeals #FeedTheChildren

Kevin McCarthy Has (Once Again) Lost Control: With the radical right calling the shots, the government is likely to shut down. McCarthy seems powerless to do anything.

What experts *say* about controlling AI is what they *think* about controlling workers and citizens.
The idea that human-equivalent AI should be treated equivalently to humans, which seems tautological, is almost never brought up.
That's because they don't think humans are human-equivalent and deserving of rights, either.

The "Big Lie." The "Biden Crime Family." The White House’s “Election interference.” These three well-worn GOP narratives are nothing new, but they are better seen as classic conspiracy theories. A good number of Americans, including most Republicans, have bought into them fully. Join Team Big Picture writer @jaykuo as he explores the deeper psychology behind the blind faith in these pernicious conspiracies: https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-maga-gop-conspiracy-theories

I just hate it when words like “patriotic” and “liberty” are twisted into unrecognizable dark fantasy manipulation to appeal to self serving con artists. You can’t apply a word like “joyful” to this kind bull shit unless you are selling to #STUPID.
