It’s also just a good show. Well-written, juggles several plot-lines perfectly.

He should tell that to the parents of the 85 girls killed in the school we bombed today.

He murdered 85 school girls to help is forget that he probably raped 85 school girls.

Democratic voters need to rally against the centrist power-hungry cowards who enabled all this. The nominee cannot be Harris or Newsome or any of that BS. Burn it all down.

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

I was today years old when I learned about IAC buses. Musicians have way too much crap they need to know. It's ridiculous. Especially if you compose, arrange, sound design, and teach in the marching arts. It is insane what we have to be able to do.

Microsoft has locked me out of my non-subscription desktop version of Microsoft Office that I paid for 5 years ago. If you want to lose a customer forever, just steal back your product from them. I'll just switch to an open source word processor.

Way too many seeking other offices. These are some of the most worthless, incompetent, and cowardly people on earth. Fading into obscurity alone and unemployed is already more than they deserve.

I searched her name, and it’s the 2nd result, right behind the memoir that somebody ghost wrote for her. 1,100 users have given it an average rating of 5.0 stars.πŸ˜†

That’s for the paperback. Kindle ebook is free.

Some crazy @depthsofwikipedia.bsky.social stuff I found working on a marketing lesson: Wikipedia has a whole page on the Domino's animated ad character The Noid. Apparently, these ads accidentally created a hostage situation at a Domino's restaurant. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Noid

Bilbo looking at his phone top

on bottom is ChatGPT

After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it?

You're absolutely right β€” you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

Get a subscription to Incogni.com. When ICE searches for you with data brokers, they may hit a dead end. They are not very smart people, and they are likely overwhelmed with opposition, so they'll just move on when nothing comes up. I've noticed it works well with robocalls & spam texts.

Using ChatGPT to help create lesson activities using cognitive task analysis and realizing how good it is getting at anticipating misconceptions and low-level thinking to help you push students deeper into a concept.

I love the vibe of the whole thing and the mix of genres.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Protesters in Los Angeles projected an anti-ICE video onto the Twin Towers, an ICE-linked detention facility where the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department actively collaborates with ICE for deportation screenings.

Sure, it wasn’t the victim’s P320 that went off, not the P320 that the agent was pistol-whipping him with.

Even the New York Times discovered the active voice this week. Come on, NPR.

There were at least 50,000 people in the street. You would probably have to pay extra for the weekday and the sub-zero temperatures. Is Soros filing for bankruptcy on Monday?
