Just set this up. Might eventually write something worth knowing about me here. Just as soon as there is anything that qualifies.

Hey so if someone else (or even your own brain) tells you you’re the only person masking and taking clean air precautions at the holidays, no you’re not. I am, too. There are lots of people who still care about protecting themselves and others so don’t give up.

I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

The easiest position in any company for artificial intelligence to replace is the CEO and the CFO. They certainly couldn't be any less heartless

BREAKING: Instacart is ending all price testing on its platform in the wake of this report.
EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.
It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.
Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.
And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%.
The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion.
Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024.
Nothing trickled down.

Maria Farmer’s 1996 FBI complaint has been unearthed in the Epstein files. It was the first time he was reported to the authorities. And they buried it.
“If the FBI had listened to me in 1996, there would’ve been no more victims.”

In one fiery Model S crash, witnesses heard screaming, including a woman saying, “I’m stuck." Bloomberg obtained three 911 calls, including one made automatically by the Apple watch of an occupant inside the vehicle, on which people can be heard yelling and moaning. None survived.

I am outraged but not surprised that “60 Minutes” pulled a segment critical of the Trump administration.
This is the chilling effect of an administration that has made it clear that it expects censorship in exchange for regulatory favors.

Unlike many of Flock’s cameras, Flock’s Condor cameras track people, not vehicles.
The exposure highlights the fact that Flock is not just surveilling cars—it is surveilling people, and in some cases it is doing so in an insecure way.
