Next week the House E&C Committee is looking to run something of a shock and awe campaign, debating at least 19 bills that they say are related to "protecting kids online." Most of which are actually about censorship and control. Don't buy the framing. It's always the same damn thing.

Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

Breaking news from the land of “no shit Sherlock”
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

A simple belt finish on the Kiriba.

A simple steel (52100) at ~62rh in a simple traditional pattern.

Our little foster-monster Sammy is a really chill guy. Here he’s hanging out with big-sis Daisy in the workshop.

He’s “limited-mobility” because of a raft of issues but he’s a super-happy-hoppy-snuggly little guy.

Looking for a forever home soon.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Mise’ madness in the shop this week as I experiment with some alternative dimensions off of my standard (center w/handle) Nakiri template. Some a bit longer, some deeper, some both and full-tang?

Which one piques your interest? 🍽️ 🧶 🔪🔪🔪 #culinarysky
