This is my hoya sipitangensis, not sure why it chose to flower while I'm re-rooting it but I'm not complaining.

Original Title: TIL that the idea of a modern olympic revival was initially rejected by greek politicians in the 19th century because they feared it would make the kingdom of greece look old fashioned and pagan. Instead, they rather suggested an industrial and agricultural exposition.

Cruz claims grant program is “boondoggle,” urges Biden admin to halt activities.

AI is coming for us all. Writers, doctors and artists – among many others – all stand to have their livelihoods decimated by artificial intelligence. And the next potential victim? The Son of God.

Peter’s Chapel in Lucerne, Switzerland, recently unveiled “Deus in machina,” an “experimental art installation” that features an AI version of Jesus in the confessional booth, according to its website.

The church has encouraged visitors to “share their thoughts and questions” with AI Jesus, though it clarified that this shouldn’t be considered the Sacrament of Confession.

AI Jesus, whose likeness appears on a screen in the confessional, may “create a sacred moment,” the church said. Peter’s Chapel added that the installation is meant to encourage visitors “to think critically about the limits of technology in the context of religion.”

...

About two-thirds of participants told the outlet that they came out of the tech-assisted confessional having had a spiritual experience.

Summary

Republican senators are privately pushing to review Tulsi Gabbard’s FBI file amid concerns about her alignment with Russian interests following her nomination as Trump’s director of national intelligence.

Gabbard’s past support for Edward Snowden, who leaked U.S. state secrets, has drawn particular scrutiny, as has her history of echoing Russian talking points on Ukraine and Syria.

While GOP senators are publicly deferring to Trump’s pick, some, including Sens. Mike Rounds and Susan Collins, emphasize the importance of full background checks and hearings to address potential security risks.

Is liberalism really a fucking disease that damages some parts of your brain and deprives you of empathy? Why are those people so cruel?

Like e.g. while I'm sure *some* people in Gaza would be happy if I die because I'm transgender, I for god's sake don't want them to be exterminated or oppressed by "civilized" West. While the conservatives would wish for me to be publicly humilated and killed, I don't wish them death nor I wish them to lose their human rights, because human rights are unconditional, which liberals tend to forget when there is a chance.

How did people become so vengeous and evil? What the fuck is happening with us? Can I do something about it?

Original Title: 🏳️‍⚧️An extreme-right congress member has opened a new line of attack against transgender people, prompted by the election to the U.S. Congress of its first-ever trans representative, Sarah McBride of Delaware. The attack is also one that hits trans people in Washington, DC especially hard.

They certainly didn't mind me working Remotely from the infusion chair and drunk on Benadryl. Twice.

Certainly didn't mind when I worked Remotely with food poisoning.

Mind you, it was likely easier to fire me than to allow me to work Remotely with my dying dog.

Oh, well. Unemployment will be my friend for a while. I've paid in long enough and I need a break. (Seriously, a respite from a lot.) I'm not lazy, just exhausted. Carried my marriage being the breadwinner and every relationship prior.

It's my time. They can fire me but they can pay my UI and rot in Hell while they allow my coworkers to get bombarded by extra work.

Other departments won't allow you to work Remotely with say, COVID, so an already stretched thin Team gets to pick up your slack. Oh, but on the team I was released from, their little prodigal son can go home with a tummy ache for two days and work Remotely.

Lots of hypocrisy and I'm ready to be out anyway. Hey, no more shitty immature insecure boss and I get paid to look up new and better positions. Win-win for me, you can kiss my ass Jack.
