A.I. or Russian Troll?

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) or Russian Troll
There was a post a couple of days ago citing a youtube post by Sen. Kennedy of Louisiana deploring the state of our Social Security Administration.
I think the odds are very high the cited youtube story a prime example of “fake news’” designed to reduce our faith in our government.
The first thing that jumps out at me is using Sen. Kennedy of Louisiana. I don’t think Sen. Kennedy is a reliable source on anything but getting votes in Louisiana.
The second thing is the use of youtube as a trusted source. Anybody that can type can post on youtube. I see fake articles from both sides of the political spectrum there all the time.
Thirdly, Dixie’s cites Forbes. Forbes is a classic news source, mostly financial. There is such a thing as Forbes Breaking News. When you search Google for Forbes, their site does indeed have a “Breaking News” heading that lists stories that go back months in time. None of those stories mention Sen. Kennedy and social security.
Fourth, 6.5 million 112-year-olds on the rolls? If anybody understands aging it has to be the Social Security Administration. The number is too preposterous to take seriously.
I may be a starry-liberal, but I think this “news” article was planted solely to erode our trust in our government. I think it’s probably bargain basement A.I. Russian trolls would know better than to use the 6.5 million 112-year-olds number.
Maybe Dixie does have uncanny ability to ferret out truth in unlikely places, but I don’t think so. In this case, I think she was duped.
Sincerely,
Jim Heffernan

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: lynneejacks@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
This Friday, December 19 at 6 PM:

Creative and reflective journaling isn’t just for “writers.” This is for everyone. The simple act of writing helps unlock parts of the subconscious, and is an incredible tool for healing and growth.

Celebrate the solstice by going inward with me. As we approach the longest night of the year, we’ll gather in a cozy space with blankets, candles, tea, and snacks. Together, we’ll move through exercises to help you tap into your inner world and cultivate a personal writing practice.

What to Expect:

– A quiet, relaxing atmosphere to unwind and reflect.
– Guided writing prompts to help your thoughts flow freely.
– Time to share insights and intentions for the year ahead
– Takeaway tools to support a reflective writing practice at home.

Register here before Friday at 9 am: www.sandstonestories.com/event-details/deep-dive-a-winter-solstice-writing-workshop

Magic

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Remembering our beautiful community…

Magic

In a stand of pines there was a cabin
with a sloping back porch. If we were quiet,
we could listen to the wind in the dry
Ponderosa and the sounds of a green river
descending. We were days on the road,
traveling together to grandmother’s house,
a family journey. Decades later, searching
for that river memory along old US 395,
I stopped. Walking down to the river,
I began to breathe, opening a way back.
Swirling roots still bind those rocky banks,
where ankle deep in luminous water
we had learned to hold the flat, far-tumbled
stones, glistening on a quiet granite run.
Rising with the incantation of the skipping
stones, magic arrived long ago in the emerald
light.

DOGE as Vigilante Government

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: genedieken@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
Coming soon there will lots of news about the so-called Department of Government Efficiency and what cuts, closures, and deregulation they want to make. It’s thus good that everyone keep in mind that DOGE is NOT a department of the federal government. Departments are created by Congress and department heads are approved subject to vetting and the advice and consent of the Senate. This process has not happened and is unlikely to.

So essentially DOGE is two billionaire private citizens operating with no oversight at the behest of another billionaire, the President. All three have some very strange, non-mainstream views. What could go wrong? We are all about to find out.

Fun fact: DOGE is named after Elon Musk’s preferred cryptocurrency, Dogecoin.
