NGC2022 - From Judy Schmidt (@spacegeck) - https://flic.kr/p/ggVUKX

We have every advantage our ancestors would have killed for, and yet we've decided to let the stupidest, cruelest, greediest fucking people make decisions that blatantly harm us on a regular basis. Yes, this is about guns. But it's about lots of shit.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

But I'm still talking about white US history.

Q: Why don't Black folk like things like rodeos, country music, and cowboys! But why are so many Black folk Dallas Cowboys fans? Could we use the Dallas Cowboys to introduce Black people to country culture?

A: You might mean "re-introduce." 1 in 5 wild west cowboys was Black. Almost all of the original cowboys were Black.

(Texans all like "I know this one! I'm getting an "A" today! Finally! Our time!"🤣)

One of those 80s tunes I doubt is on too many “80s retro” radio shows which is too bad ‘cause it’s pretty much kickass, released in 1987 when the whole “trickle down economics” thing was a few years old.

Some people have, some people have not.
Some got a little, and some got a lot.
Poor people cryin′ 'cause they ain′t got a dime,
They're left standin' in a welfare line.

Hard Times In The Land Of Plenty
Some got it all and the rest
Ain′t got any.

While we’re distracted by pronouns, UFOs, & Woke Jesus, it’s important to remember that over 100,000 gallons of burning vinyl chloride is destroying the air, water, soil, & living creatures of Palestine, Ohio.

This is one of the biggest ecological disasters in American history.

During this meeting, Atlanta Police Assistant Chief Carven Tyus stated that he believes anyone traveling from outside Georgia to protest the unpopular 'Cop City' project is a domestic terrorist.

(The controversial planned complex would train cops from across the U.S.A.)

She's seen what happens when people don't trust or understand their doctor.

Dr. Lisa Fitzpatrick founded 'Grapevine Health' to get solid information out, especially to Black and Latinx patients. https://t.co/CUWbOh6IKZ

Now that I've got a working workflow for StableDiffusion image generation again, I can finally get back to the long neglected #DiscWorld novel title series ...

Yesterday's prompt was: "I Shall Wear Midnight"

Not much DiscWorld-iness in the images, but they all were suitably dark to represent midnight, I guess 😛

There seems to be another wave of anti-remote working articles doing the rounds, including one that is apparently saying we need the commute home to psychologically switch off from work.

Since I have gone 100% remote I have never been happier. At the end of the day I lock my laptop, walk through a door and I'm home. I get to spend more time with my wife and boys, I'm not tired out from the stress of commuting, and at the weekends I want to get out and do stuff and I can afford to because I'm not spending on fuel or public transport.

I'm sure some people prefer to be in the office all the time. Some prefer to be at home all the time. Some prefer a mix. Why can't it be left at that? Stop with the anti-remote rhetoric and companies, if you're listening, the best way to get good people is to be flexible.

Friends, in addition to using alt text yourselves, I need you to keep spreading the message about it, telling your friends and followers to use it. I've just been seeing far fewer toots about it than I used to, and blind people can't be the only ones talking about this. Thanks!

People don't rock casbahs nearly as much as we did back in the day.

"Hope has two beautiful daughters. Their names are anger and courage; anger at the way things are, and courage to see that they do not remain the way they are."

That's the energy the left needs to bring to COVID minimization.

Strategic hope, anger, courage: those are our jobs.

FINALLY getting to post a video that was supposed to go up at the start of January - here's how to make consistent-looking characters in MidJourney! https://youtu.be/My4Oq8plFJI #midjoruney #ai #aiart #aiartist
