Hope everyone enjoys their bird flu! "The Trump administration laid off half of its Epidemic Intelligence Service, otherwise known as the “Disease Detectives.” The lay off affected 1,260 staff" newrepublic.com/post/191579/...

This puts into better words what I have felt about the whole MAGA phase. The uptick in gross behavior might just be an extinction burst that will eventually end in… extinction. One can only hope.

Apple fucking caved and changed the Gulf of Mexico's name on their maps.

Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.

Google jumps to drop diversity programs. So much for "don't be evil". proton.me looks pretty nice. I'm seeing that recommended as an alternative. Secure, based in Switzerland. There's a free version. Paid single, duo, and family accounts offer more. Mail, calendar, drive, vpn, password manager. 🤔

Bwahahahahaha! Ontario is breaking $100m Starlink contract. apnews.com/article/cana...

Spent some time last night finding and following all the #altgov accounts (then found the official feed which made that easier) all while remembering doing the exact same thing on Twitter 8 years ago. WHY are we back here again? This timeline sucks.

Went to the Isabella Stewart Gardener museum with mom for her bday today. First time there. Pretty neat! Would have liked to spend more time there than we did. Will have to go back!

Felt this earthquake this morning. 3.9 off Maine. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

My latest obsession: E-ink notebooks. I got 2 for Xmas and can't get enough of using them to read my Kindle books, take notes, journal, etc. Reading news sites on them is nice, too. shop.boox.com/products/not... shop.boox.com/products/tabx

Well. Just saying.

Found this pretty apt.
