I have been very lucky today.
Drove to the shopping centre 6km away and my tablet was still on the roof. There were speed bumps on the way. 😳
Already bought Lotto tickets.
How do I push my luck further?

I know people claim they're completely nontechnical and have vibe-coded entire products without any human ever looking at any of the code. Thousands of lines a day or more! they say. Insanely productive! Programming is dead! 🙄

⚖️ Gjovik v Apple update: I just filed my Opposition to Apple's Motion to Compel where Apple asked a federal Court to Order me to "consent" to waiving my HIPAA rights in a "voluntary" stipulation drafted by Apple, with Apple, abt records where I previously alleged Apple shared in violation of HIPAA.

It's already ILLEGAL for non-citizens to vote. This voter suppression bill—the "Save America Act"—solves a non-existent problem while disenfranchising millions of actual citizens. It's a lie from start to finish.

How is it possible in this day and age that a hotel can be a 5-star one when it offers an internet connection of 2-5Mbps, with no option to even buy faster (clearly throttled.)
The hotel star rating is so terribly out of date for this modern age when slow internet is a killer

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

The conservatives used to shut down the government over a few hundred million dollars. Seriously.
Yet Trump blows billions and sues the govt for billions and gets a “free” jet from Qatar that the govt will spend a billion on then let him take it with him… and not a peep.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
