As I've said before, FDA recalls are broad for even the suspicion of contamination. This is what they're supposed to do and it's a thankless task. The goal isn't to terrify people, but you need those things off the shelf.

I'm glad Paris put this round up together for folks. Been waiting for it.

Alt: a man with a beard and long blonde hair is holding a sword in a forest. The camera zooms in towards him. He nods affirmingly, a small smile growing upon his bearded face.

😭💜💜💜 it was so wonderful to see and to feel. We don't get enough Oliver background that isn't possibly him over exaggerating and name dropping haha

And OF COURSE they were doing "Oliver", about a little orphan boy finding his place.

I used to yearn to be a genius; now I'm glad I'm just a regular doofus who enjoys poor quality things. So much easier to stay above the waterline of mental health when a ton of stuff pleases you.

This might be my favorite line from my grandfather's FBI file: "has made 'strange remarks' in the past; for example, 'I want to live in England because it is a good place and I like their form of government.'"

A gnarly scan of a typewritten document: "[] stated that the employee has made 'strange remarks' in the past; for example, 'I want to live in England because it is a good place and I like their form of government.' However, [] stated it is his opinion that such remarks as the one quoted above were made in a 'pop-off' manner..."

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

AI data centers are driving electricity costs up across the board. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

AI Data Centers Are Sending Power Bills Soaring

Wholesale electricity costs as much as 267% more than it did five years ago in areas near data centers. That’s being passed on to customers.

I’m going to speak to community management & handling user feedback.

To those pointing out the periodic uproars from various user cohorts feels performative: of course it does. The last decade of corporate internet has conditioned users they need to “act up” to be acknowledged by organizations.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America
