Speaking of AI and algorithms and ....

 RantWoman notes complaints in multiple info streams she greatly esteems complaints that content is being suppressed. One really important way to fight back against algorithmic nonsense is just to protest loudly and concisely whenever one notices.

Many people value content and insights contributed by Trita Parsi of the Quincy Institute so the following post on Twitter / X got RantWoman's attention.

META sent me an AI message flagging my Facebook profile, saying it will no longer be promoted because of "lack of original content." This was part of my response to them:

"You are flagging my profile, claiming I put up unoriginal content. Clearly, your AI leaves much to be…

As an aside, one reason RantWoman persists on X is that replies and sometimes Quotes are depressingly useful as windows into divergent lines of thinking, peculiar reasoning, and sometimes just who is pushing what views.

The "vegan" menace: Talarico vs Paxton and ....

 #TXpol 

Talarico: "I have been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton's first indictment."

It's just DELICIOUS that the Grand Old Pedophiles party is terrified about they vegan menace. Definitely keep us laughing. Not looking for a job on the campaign staff. RantWoman would just go all pinko on the whole thing, promise broccoli for everyone who wants it and demand full human rights for everyone who picks broccoli. Is Paxton anti-salad on top of all his other outrages?

James Carville weighs in.

And speaking of people who have already gotten bounced or quit, what if Jasmine Crockett went on a Texas civics tour to argue about Congressional dysfunction???

Hunger Strike and protests against ICE at Delaney Hall in NJ

 #ImmigrantRights #ICE 

Delaney Hall in NJ is the ICE facility where Sen. Andy Kim was just pepper sprayed.

It is operated by the Geo Group that operates the Tacoma detention facility. RantWoman enthusiastically whatever success Gov. Ferguson has had with oversight efforts aimed atenforcing state health and safety standards at the Tacoma facility

Here is further rant / reaction to the video.

The almost 50 dead number is total in ICE custody this year.

The spin machine has BS set on maximum.

NOT amusing to hear that ICE is trying to get people to self-deport to CONTO where there is now an ebola outbreak.

Why is it "complex" to investigate how 150+ Iranian school girls got bombed.

 The Center on minimizing civilian casualties got DOGE'd. Add AI? What could possibly go wrong?

If you're confused...In search of an off-ramp.

#Israel #Iran #PeaceTalks #NuclearPower #GulfStates

Before anything else, GETTING OUT OF THE WAR ON IRAN IS NOT A FAILURE, no matter what a certain alleged ally or anyone in the media says.

So is peace breaking out?

Or will more bombs soon fall?

Will there be a timeline that AT LEAST lasts past the hajj, and even better longer???

Can everyone just ignore what President #StableGenius posts on Truth Social? 

How about we point out to anyone who says the President barely sleeps because he is up all night "working" that actually he falls asleep over and over all day because 1. He is OLD and old people are allowed to do that and 2. He stays up all night sh*tposting?

Should we all just KNOCK IT OFF about #TACO and exude effusive praise every time the PResident backs away from something REALLY STUPID?

Note: the speakers are not fuzzy headed liberal peaceniks.

RantWoman is seeing YouTube all over the map about is there a peace agreement? Or not? 

This chatter contains one set of theories. Entertaining banter with a lot of insight / realism as well as chess and movie references.

"Trump has no cards, except the bombing card, and that does not work."

Iran threat to cut all the cables in the Persian Gulf?

Trump should TAKE THE OFFRAMP

"There is no existential threat to Israel"

And because these items popped up while RantWoman was editing.

BREAKING: Trump Calls for Obama's Arrest as MAGA is FURIOUS Over Iran

Infuriating quotes from Ted Cruz, et al.

FURIOUS World Leaders STICK THE DAGGER in Trump AFTER DEFEAT!!

Besides the President, RantWoman can't stand cabinet level liars.
