The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns.

Trump’s “PR” news conference tonight, will be nothing but lies and posturing how great of a job he’s doing, and how everything is Biden’s fault. Do yourself a favor and watch a Rob Reiner film instead.

Despite having forgotten a significant amount of the grammar and vocabulary that I used to know in the languages I've studied, I'm still passionate about language learning. So I spent an hour today listening to a Dutch news station.

I'm told that HHS has just terminated all funding agreements with the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Here's a letter HHS sent canceling one of the grants, relating to work on birth defects. Canceled because the project "emphasizes equity, diversity, and inclusion as key foundational components"

Never mind that I live with two non-cat-friendly dogs and two of my three cats stay upstairs behind a gate to avoid being chased/bothered/eaten. I still want more cats.

I'm probably just immature, but I still get a kick out of bad audio transcription. Today's best is Zoom transcription turning the word "garbage" into "Glorovich."
Like, what even is "Glorovich"? It doesn't even sound like a plausible Slavic surname. Where did Zoom get it?
