Remember: Elon Musk saw a man distributing child sexual abuse material on Twitter, and insisted that the team restore that man's account on the service, and begin *paying that person to be on the service*. The person who distributed the abuse material is still on there, and Musk follows him.

File this under the naive things kids say!

A few days ago, I was telling #OhBoy to go play by himself for a while, since I had a bunch of work to wrap up. He said, “Appa, list all the work you have to do and then delete it. You are done.”

🤣🤣🤣

I just realized that in Safari browser, when you search for a word on a webpage, it also searches for it in the images of the page! 🤯

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

I was a software engineer till 2004, when I was actively writing code. Then MBA happened and the most code I ever wrote was in Microsoft Excel. And for the last decade and half in product management, the most I would do is read documentation to understand how something worked or sit with my development team to logically debug an issue (sometimes much to their annoyance!). But over the last few months I have gotten back to coding, thanks to ChatGPT.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages
