It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov Can we get something like this in Illinois? I don't see the federal government moving on this any time soon.
If you are a resident of California, the state now has a portal where you can demand deletion of your personal data from 500+ registered data brokers with a single request form, for free.

Absolutely stupid to change this -- how much time does it take to actually verify the postage and put the postmark on when they get it?
This is a good visual. Looks like in order to ensure we have proof that we mailed something on a specific day, we will have to stand in line at the post office and request a manual post mark.

Man, it’s bad enough with Alexa. You’re here to be my on-demand jukebox (a job you suck at) and tell me the weather. Our relationship ends there. I don’t want a “morning routine”, hydration alerts or for you to pipe up every time it rains (I own another more effective device called a window.)
"Would you like some toast? Some nice hot crisp brown buttered toast. No? How about a muffin then? Nothing? You know the last time you had toast. 18 days ago. I mean what's the point in buying a toaster with artificial intelligence if you don't like toast. This is my job. This is cruel, just cruel."
Also, this just in -> the latest bizarre AI fever dream is AI-controlled trivets, staplers, and coffee cups on wheels. So we'll be chased around by inanimate wheeled objects clamoring for our attention.

Canada is not treacherous. Canada is the nice upstairs neighbor who turned us on to Rush, dropped off Nanaimo bars and is doing its best to talk us out of Trump’s worst impulses
The @theatlantic.com claims that Canadians will use "treachery" to make America and its media look "silly".
No, we are a democratic people who hate thugs and their pusillanimous enablers.
Deal with it.

Thoroughly proud of everyone at 60 Minutes for refusing to abandon their journalistic ethics, doing the story and releasing it after CBS tried to kill it, knowing there’s a good chance they would get fired for doing so.

Just going to point out that I appreciate that a Federal org is using Bluesky (and pretty much every other platform) to get the word out about these recalls to as many people as possible.
Just great to see an agency still doing their work as intended without injecting politics into it.
