Arizona Public Service killed my mother

I put together a proper website

My mother Kate Korman owed $500 to Arizona Public Service, so shortly before her 82nd birthday they cut off her electricity.
Temperatures were in the 90s and climbing. Without air conditioning, the heat killed her within a few days.

“The convergence of influencer culture and venture capital is part of a broader shift reshaping America’s institutions.”
Jake Paul may have gotten his jaw broken on Netflix, but he and his $65 million fortune are laughing their way into Silicon Valley boardrooms | Fortune
“We’re going to do amazing things in 2026,” said Steve Han, a partner at Paul's Anti Fund, told Fortune. “And then hopefully we'll show it over YouTube.”

A good observation which explains much of why anti-Stancil-ism and anti-anti-Stancil-ism are at war in my heart
It occurs to me that Stancil’s lack of familiarity with organizing traditions is a thread running through a lot of seemingly disparate elements of his lore.

I remember when we were 12-18 months out from AI white collar job automation, 12-18 months ago.
Mustafa Suleyman, Microsoft's AI chief, says AI can automate white-collar jobs within 12-18 months, as tech reaches human-level performance in tasks.
Microsoft AI CEO predicts 'most, if not all' white-collar tasks will be automated by AI within 18 months

There’s a bit in ‘The West Wing’ where President Bartlett is doing a photo op thing with some little kids. One of them asks him “what is the best part of being President?” and he replies “I’m doing it right now”.

It is two years before the election, and people are telling you very clearly what their red lines are.
Telling you to find better candidates.

7: Meh
8: Meh, but on a boat
9: Barely a Jason movie
10: Jason! In! Space!
Remake: Eh
Freddy vs Jason: Stupid but fun.

Cruelty is the policy
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
