math story problem: #doj began to redact a million pages of #epstein files. 12 thousand pages in, #trump started a war and conducted a kidnapping to distract us from these files with outright thievery. If there are 5 million pages to review and redact, how many wars will trump start between now and final release of files?

I’ll see what if anything #aapl shareowners can do. I am terrified of this too as a personal and small business user (try to keep your spending on each separated to satisfy tax authorities, and not have all eggs in one fragile basket). So many things #aapl seemed to get right and see from the u/x. If this is how they use #ai,or just write code poorly for fraud alerts, it is not good.

Hardie began the conversation in a text chain to Sheridan and Board Member Paul Manning June 24 — three days before Ryan resigned…
“Both of you will be vilified”…Hardie wrote. “…Stand by your president….l am appalled.”
…Hardie wrote July 27 that Sheridan and Manning had left him out of discussions with the #JusticeDepartment in June, which he said the pair had at Gov. Glenn #Youngkin’s suggestion.

Last week’s project making a #zengarden in #wnc Setting a #stonelantern rescued from a dumpster fate by #cowboy #landscaper and me 7 months ago. We learned about leveling out the base under the 7/8” gravel, with stone dust and gravel, setting each section and leveling each with a little more clean stone dust. Translating #virginia “stone dust” or “quarry loam” to local language, acquiring a 5g bucket not a truckload, took half a day and of course a friend working at the nearby stone yard.

@heidilifeldman @KamalaHarrisWin same happened to me: #fascist, #authoritarian, single word descriptors got me tagged as “overreacting”.
But my mother, who passed at age 96 from vascular dementia, was well understood by everyone around 2018 when she began to lose language from that disease. She sat forward in her recliner, tapped me on the hand, pointed at the tv screen at #Trump and said clearly and forcefully, “#Dictator !”

‘Channeling her parents — who had “talked about apartheid, about African decolonization ... and about the history of racism in America,” as Harris later wrote in her memoir — Harris became a student of Montreal’s cultural stew. She began asking questions about where she fit in, and how Montrealers dealt with divisions. “She was very, very interested in diversity in Montreal,”…’

In a post on social media…the county government in the Tampa Bay area said electric vehicles submerged in salt water can erupt in flames. …
The post included a video of a Tesla ablaze in a closed garage.
"If you evacuated and left an electric vehicle or golf cart in your garage or under a building and you are not able to get to it or move it, we want you to let us know," the county government said.
