This is where I am right now. When you look at the situation as a whole rather than as a series of individual issues...I think it's already past the point of no return but no one is acknowledging it yet. www.facebook.com/share/19P5LD...

Psaki: I felt a mixture of angerβa lot of angerβand emotional exhaustion about this today, as Iβm sure many of you have, because we have been here so many times. And yet again, like clockwork, half the politicians in our country have little more to offer than thoughts and prayers.

It doesn't matter if you're for or against AI philosophically, this is surely true.

Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
Acyn (@acyn.bsky.social) reposted
Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again

This is likely true everywhere including my own city of Toronto. The homeless are PEOPLE. You or I could be in their shoes if we were a little less fortunate or just made one or two less good decisions. They are our neighbours, like it or not, and we need to treat each one of them that way.

Atheism does not mean that one is linked to today's known science or facts. I'm sure plenty of atheists know there's masses of stuff that is not yet known and which may turn today's understanding on its head. They just don't think it has anything to do with a god.
