The other night, I had a nightmare and B had to wake me up.
IMMEDIATELY, I started peppering him with questions/concerns about the Toy Story universe (note: the nightmare was not about anything even vaguely related to Toy Story).
Here is how that conversation went:

Please try to reclaim your precious precious attention, at all costs. Do puzzles. Take walks without a phone. Dear god, try to read, almost anything that isn’t a manifesto will really do. You are going to need your brain.

I think about the Planeteers almost daily, that show really set the stage for millennial adulthood
They need to update Captain Planet with the Planeteers now being labeled "eco-terrorists" and the bad guys are CEOs and AI. The Planeteers are fed up and now have started using their powers lethally because Gaia is dying slowly due to how the planet is being treated.

Say what you want about Kendrick but the fact that people are figuring out what “40 acres and a mule” in 2025 is why any education to black history is important, no matter no big nor small.

I've *FINALLY* gotten two of my favorite nerd friends into BG3. I just gotta say - the only thing better than being blown away by that game the first time is watching your friends have that reaction.
We all need a little joy right now, and that's some of mine for the moment.

Threatening people under duress with retaliatory surveillance and abandonment for being too under duress to do the labor you want
Is a really common tactic and for folks who are marginalized
Please cut that shit out
Also stop encouraging it

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth.

There are some infosec folks who are playing semantics or splitting hairs or saying ‘let’s wait and see’ in defense of what the DOGE workers are doing. If they witnessed such sloppy cybersecurity in any corporate environment, they would be screaming bloody murder. Why the double standard? Why?
