Let's see: I've lived in 9 US states (Mass, NY, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, California, Arizona, Vermont) and England, Belgium, France, Israel, and Japan.
I used to be a news photographer in Washington DC during the Clinton years. I've worked for Congressional Quarterly, UPI, Scripps Howard News Service.
Now I live again in Paris.

Bientôt les biberons vont recommencer. C'est dur car cela demande énormément de temps 24h/24 7j/7 mais c'est tellement gratifiant qu'on aime le faire.
📢 Bonne nouvelle : les fonds du Budget participatif de la Région Île-de-France arrivent et on va pouvoir acheter les équipements et ouvrir le centre parisien !

My mom texts me that Tucker Carlson was fired b/c pharmaceutical companies pressured Fox to get rid of him b/c he was telling the truth about how vaccines kill people.
...
She is an intelligent, educated woman who has seen and accomplished much in her life
And 20 years of watching nothing but Fox News has turned her into a MAGA conspiracy theorists.
THIS is why I hate Fox News and MAGA... it's personal.

B/c it was not enough to silence her voice on the House floor, #Montana Republicans have banished Rep. #ZooeyZephyr from the state legislature for the rest of the session. She will not be permitted to represent her 11,000 constituents who elected her to speak for them. GOP lawmakers misgendered Zephyr & accused her of violating decorum by opposing their anti-trans bills & saying they would have “blood on their hands”. Protesters who supported her were arrested. This is what #fascism looks like.

Hermitage Castle, in a remote corner of the Scottish Borders south of Hawick. This is a castle with a truly forbidding reputation and atmosphere, and in our picture is oddly reminiscent of the figure in Edvard Munch's "The Scream".

NPR: Corden told the audience: "There are so many people who are trying to stoke those differences and we have to try as best we can to look for the light, look for the joy. If you do, it's out there."#news #NPR https://www.npr.org/2023/04/28/1172684048/on-james-cordens-final-show-we-are-all-more-the-same-than-we-are-different
Jake Broe has another great video about the situation in Ukraine.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8lVkVwXAek
In case you don't know, Jake is a really great supporter of Ukraine who has updates every two days or so. He always gives a calm and realistic analysis and synopsis of the situation overall. If you can, go and sub to his channel for his amazing support and videos with tons of great insight. He also highlights videos from Ukraine from the soldiers and troops as well at the end of each video.
I've been following him regularly since a long while.

Just realized that ChatGPT's style of utterly confident yet completely unsourced and unbelievable answers have been coming from computers in movies basically forever, and maybe this explains the whole thing:

They really never learned a single god damned thing about history ever.
You actually could make the argument that Thomas Jefferson was "anti-slavery" in the same way that a manager or a landlord can be anti-capitalist -- opposed to the idea in the abstract but living in violation of your own principles out of comfort/convenience because the law permits you to.
As I understand it, Jefferson apparently is on the record during the constitutional convention saying he thought slavery should be abolished and argued to keep the prohibition in the original constitutional document when it was striken by pro-slavery delegates. But because they couldn't come to a consensus and Jefferson (and the other abolitionists) thought ratifying the new constitution was more important, they kicked the question of slavery down the road.
Jefferson did own slaves, one of whom he treated as a wife after his first wife died -- they slept in the same bed together every night until Jefferson died, they had 4 kids together. He agreed to grant freedom to his two sons in his will. But was this long-term relationship with his slave consensual? Almost certainly not.
But this level of nuance is far beyond the capacity of the average American citizen, as we can see in this interview, and a very different story than what racist shitstains like DeSantis want to indoctrinate children to believe.
