I love this idea:
“anytime a billionaire is asked for public comment on anything, someone with < $1,000 in the bank should get equal time to offer a rebuttal.”
“anytime a billionaire is asked for public comment on anything, someone with < $1,000 in the bank should get equal time to offer a rebuttal.”
In this week's newsletter I wrote about losing a parent (to bad politics) and good tv shows and the billionaires who pretend they're going to leave a city if their taxes go up by an amount that will never make their lives worse.

I loved the holiday trains in Chicago, and I hope at least one of my kids remember it.

So if Olivia is 32 now, broke up with Lizza last year, was together with him for a decade, and then was living with you for 4+ years before that, how old was she when you moved her out of her (presumably parents’) house in the suburbs to live with you?
Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a writing studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her a lot of Gift Certificates from Kmart?

Doing the math on this, you are bragging about being a creepy dirtbag. Cuz one of those birthdays were her turning 18? Is that correct?

Control of your own devices is temporary, but surveillance is forever.
Google stopped letting owners of early Nest themostats remotely control their devices last month. But it's still remotely collecting extensive surveillance data from them: https://www.theverge.com/news/820600/google-nest-learning-thermostat-downgraded-data-collection #privacy
Google is collecting troves of data from downgraded Nest thermostats
The thermostats may no longer connect to Google’s app, but they still transmit your data.

I only had a half day in the clinic today (which I didn’t know till I got in). So after work I went to the Y, ran on a treadmill, then did an hour yoga class.
I am feeling really short fused and I am doing everything I can to keep myself employed and un-incarcerated.

she is of course right that people need to stay back. you could die trying to help it. but you can hardly fault the people for trying through the night anyway when no professionals were there. they're all coast people, they know the risks. they decided it was worth it and i can't argue with them
