At an age when I hope my experience, shared, can help ease someone else's path. Worried about the world we leave to our children. Passionate about education, science and integrity.
I now get a Google AI summary of my own email threads. I don't want this, did not ask for it and it does nothing. It's an extra click to delete it when I have enough to click

Anyone else frustrated with business communication? I have to search emails, texts, teams chats, and teams meeting chats to find a simple conversation. Along the way, a stupid AI pops up claiming to be helpful. It is not.
This week I will post every stupid modern improvement that improves nothing

So it's clear that there are some people in the Epstein files that he was just trying to compromise. And they may very well be collateral damage abd innocent.

I don't care though because people REALLY need to pay better attention to who tf they affiliate with.

The current 1-year running mean for the temperature anomaly is just under 1.45°C.

According to the Climate 8-Ball, the 1-year running mean should bottom out at about 1.40°C by early Summer before making a sharp turn back up later this year, finishing the year above 1.52°C.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever.

Here is a blank sample warrant. Note who signs off on it; an "immigration officer."

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Saving to sort later. Hand counting would usually be smaller districts
Minnesota hand-counted 41 precincts. Machine-counted 361 in same area, same size.

Hand counts: normal patterns. Machine counts: 6-8% systematic shift + turnout anomalies.

When you actually count by hand, the algorithm disappears. I’m sure this is just a coincidence. 🙄

No coincidence in crime 😉

Garcia: Donald Trump is a liar and he's been lying to the American public and directly to everyone across this country about what happened in the 2020 election. He lost. He needs to move on. And now he's willing to break the law…

Read @joshtpm.bsky.social on defeating the threat to voting rights.

"The promise of the American democratic experiment now resides in the Free States of the Union. They cannot accede to the illegitimate actions of a renegade executive."

Me: take it very seriously, without lapsing into cynicism.

What. The. Fuck???

I think Minnesota could do a lot worse for a tourism slogan than "Minnesota: we treat Nazis like Nazis"
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?

HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

Imagine watching the president declare an entire African community unworthy of the American dream, while readily granting asylum to only white South Africans, and still believing this is about solving our immigration issues.
