What's your personal great white whale of an unsolved mystery? The thing you desperately hope is solved before you die because you need to know the answer? Mine is the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum heist. Where the hell are the Rembrandts. I need the full story

The guy promised to build and demanded total control of a robot army.

SpaceX shares are down by half from their June peak as investors worry Musk may have oversold them on its future prospects.

I hate the phrase "use case" for no real reason. I just hate it.

His mother informed organizers that he had diabetes and epilepsy and had been denied meds for both. It’s murder.

I heard about this earlier today. He was denied his meds, taken out on a stretcher on Saturday and was DOA at the hospital. The Trump regime is running death camps.

Pro-wrestling executive Linda McMahon issued a letter today (in her role as US Secretary of Education) demanding that universities justify their existence and explain policies to the Trump administration by the end of 2026. Not sure what the endgame is, but it sure feels like a trap.

Yikes. Just got a call to set up a sleep study ... but uh, it was for my niece. She has the same last name & we see the same neurologist so I immediately figured out what happened ... but mmmm gotta watch my insurance claims to make sure nothing is screwed up there & also wow HIPAA. ANYWAY.

This feels similar to the discussions about ALPRs and networked doorbell cams, where people want some softened version of a thing that is corrosive to society by design. Glasses that can surreptitiously record people should not exist.

Is It Possible to Make Smart Glasses That Aren’t Creepy?

As more big companies invest in glasses that record audio and video and pack AI on board, privacy concerns are only getting louder.

Twin Cities friends, note that Earthbound Farms is a subsidiary of Taylor Farms, and their products are carried by the food co-ops.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

Someone local rescued a feral kitten that looked like Dorian Lord (our tabby) dressed up as Little Moop (our Maine Coon) for Halloween and I can't stop thinking about it. Literally looked like Dorian had slapped on a fluffy tail and ears lmao.

I hate wildfires I hate hate hate them. they take away the sun and the air and they took away my classmate who died fighting them when he was 18 and they take people's homes and the forests and I feel sick to my stomach with worry every time I see news about another one

I am closely monitoring the fires threatening the Spokane region. Eastern Washington, PLEASE listen to local authorities and do everything possible to stay safe and look after your friends and neighbors.

Did I post this yet? I had a little photo essay up at this link: tinyurl.com/y9p3ny7d (Just an FYI but this is not really the space to attempt to defend a certain three-letter cult masquerading as a modality.)

I need to raise the usual $400 for insurance premiums! With Help Hope Live, you KNOW the money goes ONLY to medical! I cannot access funds w/out proving a medical expense. I submit receipts, letters, records, etc. They are a 501c3 & donations = tax deductible. helphopelive.org/campaign/159...

Annnd more water coming into the roof again. Basement is flooding. We cannot catch a break and the water damage is going to kill me like it did mom. We tried every program. There is no help. We tried fundraising. We tried it all. We have not and never will recover from the 2020 disaster.

A crude pothole graffiti tactic got Portland’s attention. Please don’t copy it, officials say

Nearby apartment dwellers had a bird's eye view of the graphic murals.

I was even told to be careful about the color of my mobility aid. Um, the goldilocks one I got (light enough to carry/many terrains) is hot pink. Got that before the subpoena. Mobility aids are protected but also ... I do not want to mess up ANYTHING for the case. I want that evil man convicted.

I finally found appropriat(ish) footwear for court that I can actually wear with my neuropathy (not great for other issues but I only need them while testifying). I cannot tell you the stress it has caused me. You can be severely discredited or even in contempt w/the wrong clothes!

McLean Hospital deserved all the heat Patrick Clancy gave it on the stand IMO. F McLean forever and ever.

Do y'all think about how our homeless comrades like @liminalclown-e.bsky.social & many more, I can think of my bestie @maliktunde.bsky.social too before he blessedly got housed, struggle to stay clean? Health & basic dignity, as well as the ability to be regarded well by others, they're robbed of.

I would LOVE love for that to happen so you can eat and stay off the streets and be hygiened and less stressed 💜💜💜

I just realized an email I received years ago was actually a wishy washy apology for some coercive bullshit decades ago. It was definitely a result of metoo & a reckoning going on in Portland activist spaces at that time. Took me years to realize that's what it meant. Autism, you know.

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.

When a friend keeps accusing you of something you have never done -- and have not given them any reason to think you ever would! -- they are likely PROJECTING. Happened to me recently. Let that friend go. I'm not getting accused & interrogated daily for some shit I did not do.

i think being unable to simply dislike someone because they were mean to you and live in that is a symptom of too much time online. someone doesn't need to be axiomatically bad and deserving of cancellation for u to just like "nah i don't fw her"

Just an FYI, but uh, if you discuss your legal case with ChatGPT or other Ai, you could be fucked. This video explains it and provides some advice. youtu.be/GA22jQQmEP4?...

It has been too hot to get out and get photos, but soon soon ... I wanted you to know that the goldilocks rollator -- lightweight but also great on many types of terrain -- has been life changing! I got it with HHL funds. AND awhile back, with mom's tiny life insurance policy ...

Heat index here is 120F. Rage that it never had to be this way.
