Random: I think a lot about how we keep assuming this massive wealth transfer from boomers/silents to millennials/a few Gen X. But boy we really have not paid attention to assisted living and nursing homes ranging from $4000 a month to $10,000 a month that isn't covered by Medicare.

Day 1 at #TechMentor is here and I’m kicking things off by diving into "Become Immediately Effective with PowerShell" with Steven Judd, Jason Helmick, and Sean Wheeler.

If you’re at TechMentor this week, I’d love to talk device management, PDQ, automation, and (of course) all things PowerShell.

Meta's trying to suppress Sarah Wynn-Williams book because it exposes what an amoral man child Mark Zuckerberg is and how Facebook "doesn't give a fuck" about people. Sarah, who is a friend, knows what she's talking about. She worked at Meta for years. Buy her book! www.amazon.com/Careless-Peo...

A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

Trump & Musk want the exact power this slush fund bill would give them.

They want every member of Congress, every governor, and every CEO to come groveling before them to get their funding turned back on.

Then maybe, MAYBE they won’t fire as many veterans in your state.

Whoa, this is so cool. Congratulations 🎉
Remember as a kid we used to go over to Weardale for the day and find crystals in the rivers from the mining spoils and hillside.

We found this geode. Took it to the Hancock (Great North) Museum and they sliced it in half.

They kept the other half and this adorns the fireplace at my mams house.

What to do with old computers? Upcycle! The PowerMac G5 units were such amazing pieces of industrial design what better use for them in their final year than a coffee table! Looks great and works a treat! Inspired by a visit to @retrocollective.co.uk

I would add the scent of opening an AD&D Second Edition box set.
THE SMELL OF THE MIDDLE OF A VIDEO GAME INSTRUCTION MANUAL.

THE FEELING WHEN YOU FIND ANOTHER PERSON WHO LOVES SOMETHING YOU LIKE.

THE SUCCESSFUL ACTIVATION OF YOUR NES/GENESIS/PLAYSTATION ON A QUESTIONABLE GAME.

THE SMILE ON YOUR FACE WHEN YOU GET A POSITIVE REACTION FROM A FRIEND.

RECALL JOY!
