DC friends--I've been taking a step back from social media given all the things, but would love to see all of you at our Team Joyce fundraising concert at the Madhatter on Sept 30th. I'll be back behind the drums and it will be a great time for a good cause! Go to tinyurl.com/PinkNoise2025 for tix

As the saying goes, technology without humanity is dystopia.

Presidents Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama pressed forward with their inaugurations outdoors, is Trump afraid he'll be William Henry Hair-ison?
Breaking on @MSNBC:
Trump's inauguration ceremony is likely moving indoors due to freezing temperatures.

Weirdest thing I've seen at #CES2025 (so far)? A sucker/lollipop that plays music, conducting through your jaw.
But hey, I only really did the west and north halls today, so I'm sure this will get supplanted.

I had the privilege of hearing from President Carter first hand multiple times while at Emory, and he was as generous with his time and insights as you might expect for someone as decent and dedicated as he was. A true role model for those who actually want to impact the lives of others.

Well this is spot on. We need to be shouting from the rooftops that one party wants billionaires to run the country and the other wants to get money out of politics so we can actually do good work for one another.
Important from Sen Chris Murphy: He says Dems are not functioning as an effective opposition to Trump's accelerating authoritarianism right now, and that this is dangerously complacent.
I pushed him on this, and we had a long exchange. In these four screen caps:

Ok, I've decided we should call DOGE (the alleged Department of Government Efficiency that has no statutory authority or budget or anything else) "Elon's Canadian girlfriend". Because while he's obsessed with it, can't stop talking about it, and it's dominating his life, it doesn't actually exist.

The Dr. Oz pick has to mean Trump has made a $1 bet with someone that there's nothing he can do that the GOP (or mainstream media) will actually push back on.

The transition to the Tesla NACS plug is upon us and most automakers are reacting by issuing adapters to use different kinds of plugs.
Not Mercedes-Benz, soon enough. Its answer: EVs will have a NACS plug *and* a CCS plug. insideevs.com/news/741249/...

Both charging ports will be on the same side of the car under the same charging flap.
