More serious talk:

This is especially important for people living in states with a Republican majority.

In 2022, the leading cause of death among children was gun violence.

There were no deaths involving a child reading a book.

There were no deaths because a child went to a drag show. (The greatest risk there is a Christian showing up with a gun.)

Take a look at your children and ask if sacrificing their lives is really worth it, just to own the libs.

If your elected leaders are more concerned with limiting what your child can read or drag queens, then they are about your children reaching adulthood, you elected a very bad person.

If Christians ever become curious about why some former Christians left, I suspect there are many former Christians who would be willing to share their stories. Might be a good way to troubleshoot some problems.

"AI hype is playing out today across many products, from toys to cars to chatbots and a lot of things in between. Breathless media accounts don’t help, but it starts with the companies that do the developing and selling. We’ve already warned businesses to avoid using automated tools that have biased or discriminatory impacts. But the fact is that some products with AI claims might not even work as advertised in the first place."

Elon Musk accused the media and high schools and colleges of being "racist against whites and Asians" in the US on Sunday, and defended Dilbert creator Scott Adams after the cartoonist had posted a video containing a racist tirade. I interviewed people who research: racial discrimination, media bias, education, civil rights and crime trends about what they thought of his remarks. They brought the data. The story is over at CNBC -- https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/26/elon-musk-calls-us-media-and-schools-racist-against-whites-asians-.html

GIMP 2.10.34 is now out with a very nice team effort! It features various improvements, such as better support of several file formats.

Also it is the first of a new release procedure with the goal to improve the quality of each release! 👍
