There will be no consideration of forgiveness for Lake. Not from this cowhand. She tried to hurt our kids. Our teachers. Our schools. She stood front and center leading the scam - holding the mic - calling for the decimation of SUSD. Removal of the entire Board - people we elected and admire. Firing our Superintendent - a guy who worked miracles through the Pandemic to hold some sense of stability and logic in place as Governor Ducey cut our schools loose to drift in the hurricane.

And she tried to DeFund SUSD. Part of the AZGOP leadership's call for denying all Override requests all over the State.

You tried to hurt my kids, Kari. So it's not business. It's personal. Here's my message:

"Dear Rabid Sociopath Mama Bear - meet Angry Grizzly Bear Dad. Stay away from political office."

How quickly does AI create these graphics? And are they free? I can see how this is unfair competition with creative people. It took me a few hours on Photoshop to create and arrange all of the sperm and x and y chromosomes in my most recent graphic. The egg has a balanced serenity while sperm of different sizes and shapes squirm around her. There are 50+ layers in that graphic and many decisions. With my Cookie Cutter Politician graphic, I started out with a black and white photo that I took of a cookie cutter I own. I have used that cookie cutter in dozens of memes since the 2014 election. I use my graphics to communicate. Often I think of a story to write, rough it out, create the graphics (while I contemplate the rest of the words) and finish the story. My point is that the AI graphics are eye-catching, but where's the humanity?

Like maybe five seconds. You need gpt4 which isn’t free and I think you need the dall-e or a similar plugin. But it’s freaking incredible. I was using midjourney and dall-e months ago and they were ok-ish but the gpt update last week was a game changer. My artist friends all hate it but they could never work at this speed so it’s a pretty cool option for a daily newsletter

And the only “humanity” is I end up creating 20 and picking the best one

Thank you for labeling them as AI.

Didn’t Kati Lake also host an illegal campaign rally on SUSD property? I remember that. Does law enforcement ever enforce campaign laws? Doesn’t appear that they do.

Looks like the CD-8 "Forum" is taking place (in person) on, like, Thomas & 7th St. I don't think that is in Congressional District 8. That's my old downtown District.

So what I got from today's letter is:

Kari is a phony, but mainstream GOP folks might still vote for her.

Ruben is moderating his persona, but that might just be because he's hungover.

Kyrsten is the most authentic of them all.

The only comment I have is WOW.

JT Harris? Isn’t he the guy who was looking at a bunch of “mommy milf porn” on Twitter? * **

*Yes. Yes, he was. I still have the screenshots. I cannot post pics here in the comment section. Although, I wouldn’t even if I could because they are...wait for it....pornographic.

** Seriously. You can’t make this stuff up.

Need to add this... the irony does not escape me that governing board members of SUSD (Carney and Werner - who has thrown her hat into the LD3 senate seat ring) that love to ban books willingly go on Harris’s show. Presumably, they talk about their shared “family values” and not about Harris’s predilection for Milf porn. But, I don’t listen to his show. Maybe, they do canvas a myriad of topics.

Wonder if he's a fan of AWRAY Porn Productions? He wouldn't be her body double would he?

I’d like to tell you that I can send you screenshots via DM on Twitter but I’m not 100% certain the kind of stuff he was watching is *legal* for me to send. (I mean, it might be run of the mill porn, for all I know, but as a stay at home married mama, the veritable liberal heathen, Harris constantly derides and believes to be the death of family values, I’m not as familiar with hard core porn as the Valley’s most popular *conservative* talk show host.)

The psychopath momma bear crowd has some seriously demented secret habits. .. seems to prevail in that crowd.
