It’s not much but with a busy schedule, I wanted a manageable goal.
Here is what I’ve been reading:

Your Ring camera can scam passing dogs and compare them to databases of missing dogs and that’s heartwarming and there are absolutely no sinister implications that’s why the guy in the button-down and Dockers is soothing

Ring just reminding everyone why they are evil and should never use them.
Recognition technology networking all of the Ring cameras together knowing that Ring already works with law enforcement?

Took a break from a longer book I’ve been reading to read the next Rincewind Discworld book: The Last Continent.
This is an example of a book where the B-Story (the senior wizards mucking about) is more fun than the main Rincewind plot, but I like that Rincewind’s stories can lead to that.

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

you know it's bad when they would rather us think that a rando staffer has unfettered access to the social media accounts of the President of the United States, where we also now know that world leaders direct message him
BREAKING: President Trump's racist post about Obamas is deleted after backlash. The White House had defended it but now blames staffer.
