Always love it when a @wrexhamafc.co.uk cross turns into a goal instead. I wonder if Rathbone will claim in the post-match interviews that he was attempting a shot. 😀

Let’s be clear on this: DOGE is not saving money by finding waste or fraud. DOGE is the world’s richest person cutting services to veterans and seniors. Its “savings” are akin to you saving money by deciding not to eat or pay for electricity. Yes you spend less, but not without consequences.

Trump pulling Stefanik's nomination is remarkable. He is admitting that his second term has started so badly that he is afraid of losing a district that has been deeply red since 2014. Can't say I blame the guy -- the Dems have won so many special elections because of him.

Trump's new tariffs as so obviously payback for his buddy Elon. Tesla can't give away cars overseas now that Trump and Musk have alienated the entire world, so the only way forward is to make competitors more expensive. Too bad Hyundai makes a better product, and now builds them in Georgia.

The President saying that the security leak had "no impact at all" is a pretty lame attempt to minimize the magnitude of the problem. That's like a drunk driver telling a police officer that it's OK because he didn't kill anybody... this time.

Quoting Alexei Navalny, who knew what the slide into dictatorship looks like: “In every period, the essence of politics has been that a tin-pot tsar who wants to arrogate to himself the right to personal, unaccountable power needs to intimidate the honest people who are not afraid of him."

@methewifewxm.bsky.social Two bits about Monday’s episode 1. It isn’t luck when you are keeping clean sheets the way we are. Sir I would like to see more goals, but let’s recognize how solid the defense has been. 2. Investing serious coin in Jan…that meant January. Not somebody named Jan. 😀

Another truly useful article by Alex about using AutoUpgrade in Exadata Database Service (which means you can do it in your multicloud environments now as well!). And in part 1 of these posts, Alex covered the benefits of using refreshable clones, which is a great feature.

Thirty years since joining Oracle as part of the Rdb acquisition! It's truly an honor to be managing the Rdb team and able to support our customer base worldwide. Just wait until you see what we have planned for next year! www.linkedin.com/posts/royfsw...

We would love to hear your experiences with the patching capabilities of AutoUpgrade. Downloading patches, building Oracle homes for you, running the pre- and post-checks and fixups...let us know what you like, what you don't like, and what more you want to see.

AutoUpgrade is the BEST way to upgrade in Oracle Cloud (or on premises, for that matter), helping you convert your non-CDB to a PDB, minimize downtime with refreshable PDB clones, create test instances without affecting your production system, etc. As usual, trust Alex for the details.
