I don't think I want a blue badge attesting to me being who I am until I am comfortable that I know who I am.

It just feels like George Orwell has returned and is working on a new "Word of the Day" calendar. We should talk about redefining to clarify the meaning of the obscure and obviously poorly understood word: "Harm" This week from NOAA: www.noaa.gov/news-release...

I'm pretty sure I've never purchased a book that could be described as a "silly little queer book" before. I mean, it wouldn't be totally out of character for me, I just don't recall any. But right now, I really think I should add one to my backlog of books and this one looks like the one.

I have to admit that I, even as an advocate for congestion pricing, was wrong about just how successful it would be in such a short time frame

I have very mixed feelings on this. And by mixed, I mean that it both scares me and really scares the shit out of me. It does give you the option to start a "Temporary Chat", but I would also like to go into into that mode retroactively after starting a chat.

facilitate vs. effectuate You would think these terms mean pretty close to the same thing. Reminiscent of a statement: "It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is."

Musk owned SpaceX the #1 lifter for NASA Last month, FAA looking at Musk owned StarLink for networking Now the SSA will be shifting to Musk owned X for press releases. Next: Dept of Transp giving tunnel construction to Musk's Boring? All Gov AI to xAI Grok? All SS agents in Teslas? Miss anything?

We were expecting a FedEx shipment, but knew we would be unable to be there, so we left a very prominent note on the door "FedEx" in bold at the top, & instructions that said if a package arrives and needs a signature, take it across 40 feet across the street and our neighbor would sign for it.

ai-2027.com A good read, speculation, not 100% realistic. But the authors do have street cred . But let me direct your attention the the purely magical info-graphic in the upper right which updates as you scroll. Oh my. I want to use it for every presentations Edward Tufte would be proud

How is this not just a re-take on the joke about the guy who tells his doctor the reason why he keeps hitting his thumb with a hammer: “Because it feels so good when I stop!”, but in real life?

OK, so much of this seems bordering on Sci-Fi prognostication. But, I have to say that the way the info-graphic follows the timeline of the story as your scroll is magical. I'm betting they coded this by hand with a little help from an AI coding assistant. ai-2027.com

I feel a limerick thread coming. Who's with me? There once was a fellow quite dense, Whose antics made barely a sense. He toyed with the tariffs for show, Struck out weak with each ill-timed blow, And thought no one saw through the pretense.

Oh, my god, me too. What an incredible season finale. I doubt it was intentional, but it made me want to go find and watch the final scene of Brewster McCloud with Bud Cort and Shelley Duvall.

Wow! That required three passes. Almost lost me in the review of the novel. Though it looks like a really good read, my ratio of fiction to non-fiction right now is pretty small. But then when it got into contemporary political philosophy of technobros, it was riveting, and indeed terrifying

My plan is to replace our gas stovetop with an induction top when we replace it. I have until our current range dies to convince my spouse, and to replace enough of our non-induction ready cookware with appropriate cookware. I can't wait to get rid of the gas range.

Is it just me, or does it seem that the new administration has found dozens of the single points of failure of our government and attacked them in parallel? "They were testing the fences for weaknesses, systematically. They remember."

I know that I've been in political shock since the inauguration, and also realize that I have political PTSD from 8 years ago. But, it just seem like there isn't as much outcry and activism. Am I just now too disconnected? Am I part of the problem? Were they successful? How do I jack in again?

When do the movies inspired by the Trump era start hitting screens? I'm talking about fictionalized or dramatized or even comedic and apocalyptic portrayals and extrapolations of the shit show we have experience over the last 8 years. So much material.
