Southwestern Ontario town's signs send clear Donald Trump message Frustration and anger over Donald Trump’s trade war against Canada is boiling over and has taken on a somewhat comedic tone in Strathroy

From far and wide, people love these signs

Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

OK, gonna throw this spicy bomb out there.

If you're fortunate enough to have disposable income, then right now it is your duty to use that income wisely. You have agency over how you spend it and you should own how you spend it.

Your decisions do, in fact, affect stock prices of big corporations.

The Pentagon erased Maj. Gen. Charles Rogers, a Black Medal of Honor recipient, from its siteβ€”then slipped β€œDEI” into the URL like a smear. This isn’t just gutting diversity programsβ€”it’s deleting history. Trump’s war on DEI is now a war on who gets remembered. Who’s next?

The best part of this tiny red bathmat is it ends in a puddle.

1/ The hot new topic in Gen AI right now is Model Context Protocol (MCP).

How to connect AI to the world? MCP is a semantic, self-describing interface giving AI dynamic access to enterprise data + functions.

A sort of ODBC for AI. A Rosseta Stone.

I'll break it down. πŸ‘‡πŸ§΅

Sounds like Trump’s team spent a lot of the day trying to placate panicked GOP members of Congress.

Republicans are freaking out about the market, a potential recession, and midterms.

Ray Charles could have seen this coming.

Report: Trump Had Over $280 Million In Debt Forgiven And Avoided Paying Taxes On Most Of It The debt largely came from his Chicago tower.

Nothing screams HYPOCRITE quite like Trump complaining about & gutting school loan forgiveness for grads dedicated to service & bettering our communities while he’s had HUNDREDS of MILLIONS in debt forgiven due bankruptcy 6 times.

A while back I was helping examine the security of the Starlink terminal and found a very obvious bug in the bootloader that was only unexploitable due to the memory layout of the terminal. Critical infrastructure shouldn't depend on Starlink without a shitload of auditing.

Most of what we call "tech" is about getting the right information into a database and trying to prevent the wrong person from reading or updating it.
