My own thoughts. Unless they're yours, at which point I claim squatter's rights. Play me like you love me.

Yeah it’s the one where they draw a big red heart around his name and then half of them pretend to oppose him
Does Congress have any red line where they constrain Trump? He just unilaterally went to war against Venezuela. (Spare me any technicalities; we literally attacked them and kidnapped their president. That is effectively a declaration of war and he doesn’t have to put it on a scroll of parchment)

The big red line where they cross out opinion polls they don’t like and underline the ones where they know we’ll buy the line that midterms and 2028 elections will be the only thing he/they won’t touch.

Time for my big year end blogpost about the Atmosphere.

From the personal computing perspective, the cloud has been a disaster — but we shouldn't run away from it.

We can solve a lot of problems by connecting our clouds, turning it into atmospheric computing.
Atmospheric Computing
Cloud computing has been extremely successful, but it lost the values that drove personal computing. We can solve this by evolving forward.

It’s certainly possible to white label the bluesky app into an audience-specific product. You can add private communities and interest specific features. In that case, community is the product, just like the discord for a creator’s fans

I mused years ago that their behavior is like that of people afflicted with addiction. They’re so far gone, lying and cheating and stealing doesn’t even come close to satisfying them long enough for us to begin to fix what they’ve destroyed.

So far gone, they’ve now gotta plunder all our tomorrows.

I’ve never heard of mass transit busses or bus drivers making power outages worse.
How much worse can it get?
Way mo’!
Around half of San Francisco is without power right now and something like 1/3rd of intersections I drove through had waymos stopped in the middle of them making a dangerous situation even worse.

Do not let Waymo into your city.

Just looked up a widely prescribed generic and its manufacturer using this well-designed resource.

The facility’s been cited for numerous violations that would seem essential for making pharmaceuticals cleanly and safely.

Imagining the market opportunity to be had. Make money thru good product.

Was just wondering about the pharma industry and product margins. Was once acquainted with a couple sales reps who seemed to have bottomless entertainment budgets.

Wonder if @mcuban.bsky.social Mark Cuban’s low cost Rx company does its own due diligence around the generics it supplies. Anybody?
THREAD: The FDA has made it difficult to find where medications are made. Today we're changing that with our latest tool.

With Rx Inspector, it’s possible to see your drug’s manufacturing facility and what the FDA found during its inspections.

Here's how you can use it. 1/

The sight of Kushner and Witkoff groveling to Putin to make an investment deal prompted me to write about an early attempt of Americans to invest in Russia.

It's something I'm working on. My teammate and I try to make sure we're sharing information and discussing students on a regular basis. It's far from perfect and I worry that things are slipping through the cracks. But I'm happy as a teacher and that hasn't been so true for a bit. I'll take it. 6/

One of my biggest concerns & reasons I did not want to compartmentalize was that I would need to know twice as many students (I know, secondary people, it's still not that many students in comparison!). I don't love this aspect. I don't know my students or their families as well as I would like. 5/

My students are currently creating brochures about a planet as a part of a research project in science. We are still reading & writing & I'm still getting to do some of that, but without it beating me down.
And I only plan and assess for two subjects. I didn't know how much I would love that. 4/

As a result, I was more open to not teaching language arts than I'd ever been before. I do miss teaching my students language arts, but what I miss isn't the kind of teaching that is happening currently. So instead, I do read alouds and talk to kids about books during math and science. 3/

I love all of the content areas & never wanted to give up any of them. Last year, using a mostly-scripted curriculum for language arts was one of the most frustrating & demoralizing professional experiences of my career. I worked hard to make that curriculum interesting & relevant to my students. 2/

This year, in my 28th year of elementary teaching, I am compartmentalized. I teach two groups of fourth graders math and science. My teammates teaches them language arts and social studies. I have fought being in this position for a long time. Now that I'm here, I can't imagine being happier. 1/

You know who told us not to say “Merry Christmas “?

Nobody. You know who lied to us about it to make people upset, anxious, angry, and outraged? Politicians and their comrades in the rage-o-sphere. As if there’s anything other than their corruption and criminal acts that matter. All year round.
