Aw man did we get an accidental “reading rainbow” !? One of my favorite segments made a sneak come back. I’m here for it
With the MLK AI issue, yes it’s super disrespectful but kinda funny too. Whenever I see those club posters with MLK, I shake my head a little but with a giggle. I’ve seen a poster with Malcom X in the club that said the party will go on by any means necessary. AI is out of control.
It’s important to be able to balance the protection of parody with the need to prevent defamation and prevent for unlawful use of name/likeness for marketing. It’s not a new issue, but one that needs to be clarified in the age of AI.
Rod and Karen,
Referencing Black unemployment, count me as one of the many!
I posted a few months ago about how my job was eliminated in the public education sector due to the policies of the tangerine terrorist’s administration and our governor, who’s one of his disciples. I have applied for 315 positions, have not received any offers, and have had less than 10 interviews. Now that I have been formally terminated I applied for unemployment this week. It did not have to be this way!

The hubby and I have a small patio and we sit outside multiple times a day and watch birds. It does t matter that it started so we don’t stink up the house with the devil’s lettuce. He even built a bench for us and now we spend about 3 hours a day just being outside. It’s the cheapest therapy out there
I don’t regularly sit outside but this episode got me thinking maybe I should change that. There is something really nice about being out in the fresh air and sunshine.
I reduced the use of social media a lot. I use LinkedIn for work and sometimes instagram for real estate content ( I like to look at weird houses, it calming for me)
Otherwise it’s making me afraid and depressed. I didn’t see it like that before but must admit that it’s working on my brain in a bad way and I needed out.
Thank god I don’t have an addictive brain because I absolutely can see how it’s addictive. For me it’s only depressing, but I can distance myself.
