Texted a photo of this burned-out outlet to my electrician and he called me and told me completely deadpan “oh just wipe the black off and it’s fine” and I was like “wait really??” and he started cracking up and was like “no dude sorry, I was kidding, it’s ruined,” and now so is my pride

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

I hate it when Greg’s essays end.
And I’m still waiting for a creative writing class. I learned a LOT about how a first paragraph can entice the reader from this essay.
The first paragraph does not have to be:
He was lying face down in pool of blood. The knife was nowhere to be found.

The plot of the current series we’re living through, now and its ninth season, is more convoluted and weird than The Crying of Lot 49.

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

I worked for Frank Gehry. Because of him, I went to The Simpsons Halloween party, had a key to the Disney Concert Hall, met amazing artists. Frank was wonderful to me. When I left his office, he said you'll do big things, just try to stay out of politics. Sorry, Frank. Your memory is a blessing ❤️

DRAM (memory semiconductors used in PCs and other computing products) prices about to climb. Consumer availability will drop.
This will crush consumers and companies who buy PCs.
It will also impact sales of PCs by the PC companies.

This is like if Tyson stopped selling consumer chicken. RAM is about to cost as much as a brand new pc. The cost of everything from tablets, to phones, to laptops will skyrocket. All because AI data centers are consuming all the available RAM they can get.
