I've been losing my ability to give a fuck for years and it's almost entirely gone. If I don't belong in the room and I can't be met on an equal plane in the room, I'm not coming back to that room. If there's not room for me how I am now, just no.

I waste so much time thinking people are going to care about my mental health in any way other than to be upset at how it affects them.

The FAA is closing the airspace around El Paso International Airport in Texas for 10 days, grounding all flights to and from the airport, for “special security reasons."
The FAA's notice did not provide additional details.

A heartwarming tale of how even if you aren't subscribed to Google Nest their cameras still upload and save "about three hours" of video which can be recovered in the form of "residual data" from "backend servers," surprising even the FBI who claims to have previously believed it was impossible
How Google played a key role in recovering the video from Nancy Guthrie’s cameras | CNN Business
A major breakthrough in the Nancy Guthrie case largely came down to Google’s technical expertise, a person familiar with the investigation told CNN.

chatgpt is much like an improv comedy group
1) you are the audience, giving it prompts
2) it produces things roughly shaped like your prompt
3) it is trained to respond with Yes, And
4) it has the factual accuracy of improv
5) it does not understand comedy

I was all worried I'd lost my Midwestern toughness because the past few days I was just so over how cold it's been and I felt like I couldn't do it anymore. Come to find out it's the first day over freezing in 20 days. This really has been a hard winter. Anyway, I'll take another day or two of 40s.

finally : another fact about Muppets is this - they had adult origins but also always embodied being a caring, empathetic person. Because swear words matter less than cruel intentions and actions. The people sweating swearing Muppets are the same people planning their alternative halftime tweets.

Ok for one thing, as a friend said - if you don't go watch the Muppet Show so it gets a full return I stg.... please do not let Kermit and Jim Henson down. But for also in 2026 are we seriously having to explain that the Muppet Show was for adults?!
