With more revelations about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein having surfaced, it is time for the #NYGiants to remove Steve Tisch from his decision-making role in the organization. www.bigblueview.com/new-york-gia...
Itβs so unsettling watching our 250 year-old democracy decay into dictatorship while the most disruptive technology since steam power is evolving at superhuman speed. Itβs like watching a locomotive barrel headlong into a tornado. I have a bad feeling about this.
My latest:
Years of bipartisan partnership on election security have unraveled β and officials say trust with CISA may be gone for good, just in time for 2026.

What the actual fuck
Linux is good now. The author had enough of Windows and Microsoft shenanigans. I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop

My next PC or laptop will be 500 to 800 bucks more expensive in 2026, but at least I can make a video of a kitten or baby elephant playing and dancing in my home. Isn't that great? LOL. /s #AISlop

A screenshot of repo web page that reads: Title: Remove Windows Ai Why? The current 25H2 build of Windows 11 and future builds will include increasingly more AI features and components. This script aims to remove ALL of these features to improve user experience, privacy and security.
"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.

Not that anyone asked, but the country with the World's lowest life expectancy (Chad) has a higher life expectancy than the country with the highest life expectancy 120 yrs ago (Sweden).

40 years ago, the first comic of Calvin and Hobbes was published⦠setting off decades of children being inspired to be cartoonists.
Bill should be ashamed of himself. My god. Look at all those cartoonists just out and about now. Gross.
Giants should start fresh with front office, in addition to Daboll.
There are worse renovation projects:
- Dart looks better than any reasonable expectation
- Top 5 left tackle
- Malik Nabers
- Dexter/Burns/Carter on DL through at least '27

Yup, looks like that's it. Not a big surprise. #nygiants
Yet another 4th quarter collapse. I don't see how the coaching staff survives this one. #nygiants

We start with a caption saying, "Pictured: The first vibe coder, Geordi LaForge, about to discover the dangers of natural language programming." The screenshot below is from #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG, the second-season episode Elementary, Dear Data. Geordi is dressed in Victorian clothes since he is taking part in a Sherlock Holmes holodeck program. In fact, he is standing before the holodeck control panel, telling the computer to "Create an adversary capable of defeating Data."
Enjoy your Wednesday, #StarTrek friends!
Beware the pitfalls of giving orders to an overly literal computer. ππ€£ππ€£ππ€£

Permanent Standard Time would let us sleep naturally past dawn. Daylight Saving Time makes us wake by alarm in darkness. Tell lawmakers to ditch DST! ππ
Apple has taught its AI to adapt to the Trump era.
Two months after Trumpβs inauguration, the tech giant updated guidelines on how its AI talks about diversity, elections and vaccines as well as its responses on Trumpβs supporters and on Apple itself.
This is SOOOO good!
