Want to find some waste in public spending? You don’t have to look further than the rebranding of the Department of Defense to the Department of War. Billions of dollars will be spent on such things as changing letter heads, napkins, jackets, names on buildings etc. Such great use of money… 🙄
Pentagon officials fume over Trump's Department of War rebrand
Employees could find themselves changing Defense Department seals on more than 700,000 facilities around the world.

Watching The Dark Money Game on Max and connecting the dots to all the other reading I’ve done on American history and the evolution of the Christian right wing in the US. It is blatantly obvious to me that the US has been run by religious extremists and oligarchs for a long time.

Had the pleasure to be a panelist at Verge | The AI Frontier at Epicenter Helsinki yesterday. I got to talk about all my fav thing — how we can make AI better and actually start implementing it mindfully and purposefully. #VERGETheAIFrontier #EpicenterHelsinki #EthicsofAI #Trustworthytechnology

The Music of Star Wars (John Williams) at Musikkitalo in Helsinki was amazing. And we got to experience the worlds largest concert organs that in themselves also are a magnificent piece of art. ❤️

Where is the resistance? I am horrified at the lethargic response to the dismantling of democracy.
