Single mom on welfare gets a chance for college and runs with it. Various hijinks ensue. A New Yorker (the City, not the state), Washingtonian (the state, not the city), and Californian (by birth). Soon to be retired, figuring out what's next. Stay tuned.

This is an excellent summary of current circumstances
Kyle Kulinski: “A sundowning president with Alzheimer’s who’s a malignant narcissist is dragging us into WWIII, committing war crimes on a daily basis and crashing the global economy, and nobody is actually grabbing the steering wheel.”

The talk around AI mainly centers on how it can be used for/in education and business. Often ignored/minimized are major environmental and economic concerns: overuse of local resources, long-term impact on local environments, and they're placed disproportionately in lower income communities.

Cowichan sweaters from the Cowichan Valley -- much like Aran sweaters from the Aran Islands-- have been knocked off repeatedly. Buy the real item, not the knock-off.

If you're ever in NYC, I highly recommend a couple of hours at the J. Pierpont Morgan Library. I'm a big fan of libraries and bookstores (fav library so far, the Long Room at Trinity College in Dublin; fav bookstore, Leakey's in Inverness), and this one is exceptional.

Washington state just passed a law banning law enforcement (including federal ICE agents) from wearing masks or face coverings while on duty. Gov. Bob Ferguson signed it Thursday and it took effect immediately.

Musk and Trump, two little rich boys with low IQs, running amok, no repercussions. Can't comprehend that someone might stand up to them; and normally, their vast wealth ensures it. They've gotten away with it their whole lives. They need a comeuppance that doesn't tear our whole country apart.

Shared a post from Philip Low about Musk over on FB, and FB shut it down. That Musk's even more pissy than the orange clown. What a total fuckwit. And Zuck's head is totally up Musk's ass now.

This chart is a life expectancy chart from the CDC. Blacks and AIANs are a disproportionately smaller portion of the total population and have significantly lower life expectancy. If the minimum retirement age for full SS benefits is raised, we disproportionately harm those groups of seniors.
