In America we have city cops, different cops for your county, cops for the whole state, cops for soldiers, cops for malls, presidential cops, cops for the stock market, mail cops, federal cops, cops we secretly send to other countries. Even your neighbors get to pretend to be cops. We’re very safe

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.

They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

There is so much good protest music out there, everything from www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvgr... to www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nitn... and so much more in between. It might depend on where you get your music.

Finance people, help me…

My home insurance in Arvada is $4.5k. The perk is it still has an extremely low wind/hail deductible of $1.5k, which you can’t really get anymore.

I could get a policy for $2.4k instead, but my wind/hail goes up to $9.2k.

Is the risk/reward worth the change?

An entire industry unanimously crammed AI non-features into every single device and service we used and repeatedly doubled-down despite lackluster response and adoption.

But it's YOU who is hurting the economy for not being excited about it. 🙄
