Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.
Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

This is my 95-year-old neighbor. He's been living alone since his wife passed away from cancer, and not long ago, he also lost his loyal companion dog. Now, every day, our chicken Hei Hei escapes the yard just to visit him. She sits with him, accepts treats, and lets him pet her like an old

Thank you on this labor day!!
it's a common mistake but actually Dr Frankenstein was the monster
I love how music transcends not only every human but every species. That’s why I love all musicians because they share a message that resonates with every living being on this planet.
I love flamingos so thought this was well done!
This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children. Pay all workers a living wage.
I knew it was only a matter of time before the Bears learned to use computers, once they mastered the wheelie bin it’s all over.
Huckleberries? You are just an anarchist, aren’t you?
This is a very interesting Canadian conundrum because it is disparaging to our national cuisine, but at the same time it is very Canadian to have a problem and go on a hike about it.
Margaret Atwood, the literal personification of Canada, is attacked by the Canada hating Premier of Alberta and then proceeds to fight back by using Canadian sarcasm.
I mentioned to a couple of people that I had a surprise waiting to be shared when Moderna got approval for its updated COVID-19 vaccine. It’s approved, and the big news??? Completely produced domestically!!!!! 🥳🤩 Approved as usual for all aged 6mo+!
Another fake Ice agent that was allowed to terrorize people
Another back to school season and still there are no official “Good is not a thing you are, it’s a thing you do” Ms. Marvel posters. Do you know how many librarians and teachers would hang one up on the wall!!
Powerful for these 9 former CDC directors to come together. Would have been even more powerful if they had called for the man most directly undermining public health to resign. Gift link below.

14yo, having just seen Jaws for the first time: so when they make the muppet version of this movie, Statler and Waldorf should be the kids who freak everyone out by pretending to be the shark. And maybe the lone human should play the shark. (Also he loved it and says it holds up 50 years later)
IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!
Urban walls, sidewalks, and even utility meters are the unlikely canvases behind this clever collection of genius street art. From an illusion of a zebra being striped to a sidewalk creature with a real rock for a head, these eight works turn... 👇
Walking home from the coffee shop and someone tried to give me a free spider plant. Yeah, I know how this works. First ones free. Then before you know it you’re repotting succulents in back alleys

Canadians are boycotting American products : “We will finish what remains of the project contract, but then we are ending doing business with Americans and American business. I know it’s not your fault, but your president just started a war. We still love the American people but good luck.”

A Netherlands-based immigration activist identified ICE officials recorded wearing masks during arrests, able to reveal a face using AI, if they have 35 percent or more of the face visible. If Ice and Police can use this technology against the people, why can’t the people use it on ICE?
