For those failing to get the "copilot" AI off their Microsoft Word -- If you proceed with canceling Microsoft Office, you'll get a "wait wait don't go!" screen where they suddenly offer you "Microsoft 365 Personal Classic" -- which *doesn't include AI* and is actually cheaper! Weird workaround.

This is absolutely incredible -- Kristi Noem repeatedly refuses to acknowledge that Trump brandished an doctored image of Abrego Garcia's tattoos, prompting Eric Swalwell to have a staffer of his brandish an image of them right in her face. Totally dystopian.

A question from an SF-centric group: what was the first science fiction book you read and where did you find it? For me, it was an old copy of one of Heinlein's juveniles, The Rolling Stones. I borrowed it from the Shelby County (IN) Bookmobile. I was probably eight. You? #booksky #sf

Mike Lawler needs to be defeated soundly and everyone who touched Feiner needs to be prosecuted and sued for assault and battery. They had no right to touch her. She was peacefully petitioning her government.

Trump's post is a federal crime. 26 USC § 7217.

Sure, you could frame it this way and make it sound like he has that ability, thus conditioning people to accept it when he tries to break federal laws again. Or you could say he posted another baseless threat that will be challenged in court and lose for being against federal laws.

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

Editor creates an AI executive who is "an expert at building and scaling digital media companies." Decides within minutes that the AI is "one of the most knowledgeable and energetic colleagues" he's ever had. Asks the AI to create a headshot of itself. It does. He sexually harasses it immediately.

Imagine living 88 years and one of the very least things you have to do on this planet is spend time with this utter waste of space. Correlation ≠ causation, but man, I know I'd be ready to meet the choir invisible after spending *any* amount of time with him.
