Sunday Morning Sip

 











I initially laughed at the AI Robot meme... then BBC reported on Google ending the ban on AI Weapons...









Final thought for this Sunday - make a difference, even for just one.

Happy Canadian Flag Day!

Sixty years ago today, February 15, Canada adopted the iconic red and white maple leaf flag as the national symbol.  Thank you, Debra of She Who Seeks for this history lesson of the flag! 

I visited Canada numerous times (so far) in my life. In my travels, I have found the people of the country to be truly lovely - it is a country of civility and unity.  

Whenever I see the Canadian maple leaf, I feel... joy.

Indivisible

The past several days, I have been in discussions about "What can I do?".  How do was deal with Trump 2.0?  Am I alone?  Thanks to Pat over at the "Big Whack Attack" blog, he directed me to the Indivisible movement.  

I feel it is a start - something positive.  Perhaps connecting with people in my region who want something better.  I've been able to find five chapters in my immediate region and have reached out to the coordinators for more information.  

Onward,

Rade


And on that, Google Earth has officially jumped the shark...

 Update to Google Earth...


Since, apparently, SCROTUS now has the power to demand asinine changes to Google Earth, I think it's time to flex our own editing capabilities.  I've located my home on Google Earth and I demanded it be blurred out.  How so, you ask?  Follow these instructions.  

Be safe.


 

"And we're going to keep making up shit and if you don't report it as gospel, we're going to come after you!"

 

Be well.

February 12 - Quote of the day.

 Interesting "Quote of the Day"...

 

I keep trying to find the positivity in each day, each action, each person.  Frequently, I lose my ability to see past this... miasma... of the now.  I need to just keep reminding myself... hope.  Have hope.
