Team Sensible Shoes is in the owe on some incentives from Extra Life (those tanks won’t fight themselves), so we’ll be back at it on Feb 14 to make it up and then some. Romantic!
We’ll be raising money for @nilc.org and have added a new wheel! This time it might give us a monkey. Kids love monkeys.

Oh good. Now we're having to deal with idiots on the road driving two tons of metal being paid minimum wage to play a driving Sim with builtin minimums of a half second lag.
Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”
It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines
During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

There's lots of wasted taxpayer money by bullshit executives but for better or for worse food security of traveling (in)dignitaries isn't going to change any time soon. They can't just pop into a local restaurant and host country security isn't the same standard.
Not only did they bring a small private army, but among the waste of taxpayer money was BRINGING A FULL PLANE OF FOOD.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Historically, Wyden's oversight focuses mostly on privacy of US citizens. If I accept that's what's happening here, then it's just a question of "how are CIA activities most likely being used by this admin in a way that Wyden would be interested in, but he wouldn't just do full disclosure on?"

Deport the teacher. I hear South Sudan is lovely this time of year.
Kindergarten teacher called a prank ICE hotline thinking it was real. She called to report her 6 year old student to ICE to try to get them and their family deported.
6 years old.
She does not enjoy hearing her own words and actions played back to her.

The deep lore says that if your first words of a new month are "RABBIT RABBIT RABBIT," good luck will follow you all month long. Let's all do it, because we need all the luck we can get.

Any congressional offices want to be able to place a bowl of patriotic whistles around? I'll be in DC next week and can hand deliver on Thursday or Friday.
I did the math, 50 whistles is $5 for me to produce, so 175 is safely below any $20 threshold for gifts.
