My wizard has been leveled up to 5 so now I can cast fireball. I know it is a cliche but like, I'm so excited to caste fireball.

It is the week of my sister's nuptials. I have so much to do before I head out for it and I'm so excited for her.

I just need that adrenaline rush of hyper focus to last me a little longer. I worked on her wedding gift pretty much all weekend and I'm almost done but 90% is not complete.

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.

In 1965:

-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.

-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.

-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

This seems like a waste of time and resources. Not like they actually do anything when MO voters pass liberal policies via ballot initiatives.

See abortion rights, sick leave, Medicaid expansion for a few examples
Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe (R) reinforced GOP power grabs sweeping the country, calling a special legislative session Friday to redraw congressional districts and weaken the ability of voters to pass laws through ballot initiatives. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I got the complaint in the horrific OpenAI self harm case the the NY Times reported today

This is way way worse even than the NYT article makes it out to be

OpenAI absolutely deserves to be run out of business

Gov. Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about Trump searching for any justification to deploy the military in a blue city to try and intimidate his political rivals. This is about Trump searching for ways to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong.

Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:

watching my kid do her homework on her computer is incredibly frustrating.

She's doing an assignment (which allows the teacher to see if it was completed, etc) but she has to take a screenshot of her result and put it into another app to get credit.

And the due dates are wrong, of course

I see the issue. When we said we would replace human workers with machines you assumed the machines would work. That's on you

if i'm reading the order correctly here, this means there's a 50% tariff on washing machines (and other household goods that I don't feel like pulling out the HS codes for) www.reuters.com/business/us-...

We still follow the old ways, we have a computer in a corner (mostly used for video games) but available for anyone in the family and next to a printer.
A computer that sits in the corner and otherwise leaves you alone, maybe

My team deployed to production so bringing in cake tomorrow, but it only has one product in it so I made mini cupcakes. Mini cupcakes are so much harder than one big cake. I'm exhausted 😩
