I check #SpotTheScammer & #SpotTheBot daily and I will NOT follow any account whose followers are littered with scam accounts and AI Bots mining followers.

No "auto" follows from me, ever. I check. If your account looks sketchy, I'll report & block it.

Tonight's dinner 🍗 chicken pot pie in a biscuit was good, but baked in ramekins instead of muffin tins, my recipe needs tweaking 🤔

The Hawaii Supreme Court has assailed SCOTUS in recent rulings.

"The Roberts Court casually dismisses the lessons of American and world history, the warnings of prominent early Americans, and the judiciary’s storied legal minds," the court wrote.
Hawaii Supreme Court Expands Rights of Defendants, and Once Again Rebukes SCOTUS
The justices ruled that Hawaii’s constitution requires police to record interrogations. And they vowed to protect due process for Hawaii residents—unlike, they said, the Roberts Court.

Hutch was impatient, so the morning walk was taken it was barely daybreak - but the deer were out en masse which is always a lovely sight to see.

Now, back to #reading with a much-needed #CaféAuLait ☕️
