It is disturbing how many types of militarized police the US has and how willing they are to go after civilians. This should make every resident of the country very concerned.

Sorry for the potato quality, but couldn’t resist sharing this photo of my Millie.

The records show that Palantir is actively working on, and making updates to, the technical infrastructure underpinning the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts.

I dunno, guys, I think AI is good enough that we should let it run our Fortune 500 companies, oversee crucial infrastructure, and launch missiles. I think that’s fine.

Parents/Guardians/Caregivers:
If you manage medications for family members, do you use an app for that?
Do you share the responsibility with another person?
What is the worst thing about managing meds for someone else?

Do you have a bedtime routine?
I’ve been loyal to mine for years and it’s very rare that I don’t follow it.
- bathroom hygiene
- pjs
- cuddle up in bed with my jellycat bunny
- listen to piano music while playing my daily word games
- read for an hour before falling asleep

The rollback of major DEI programs in FAANG companies should be a reminder that your company is not your friend and you need a union to protect your rights.
