Hard to believe that blocking online advertising and canceling paid subscriptions would damage a free press. Inconceivable, really. Don’t they know information wants to be free?

As a child in the 70s my parents would warn me off of doing one terrible thing or another with the caution that it would be added to my “permanent record.” They were right, of course, except that “permanent” is now spelled “Palantir” in the 21st Century.

Came close to telling a boomer I know “just fucking retire already”. They keep twisting the dials and pushing the buttons on systems they don’t understand and turn to me to fix the resulting mess. Hell, I want to retire already and I’m 58.

Random reminder to everyone “terminated” for whatever reason, in whatever industry: remove your corporate email address from every personal account you have. From personal experience of a corporate manager utilizing a suspended corporate email to access a personal account.

The Administration position appears to be that lethal force can be deployed against anyone who shows open carrying (lawfully) up in public. I am sure this will have no unforeseen consequences.

Something tells me that upgrading to Tahoe at the start of a month of multiple trips is a bad idea. As stupid as I am, I’m not that stupid to tempt fate with an upgrade right now. Plus Tahoe seems…not quite ready for release?
