Lots of reporting suggested that, this time around, Trump and his lawyers would avoid the sloppy legal work that plagued his first administration so they’d fare better in the courts. I see no evidence of that in this round of executive orders. This is poor, slipshod work obviously assisted by AI.

Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.

I recommend creating a Family on Google, and then splitting it with one or other people. I’m doing this with friends and it works without issue. (Was working bi coastal)

Other social networks (X, Threads, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok) are specifically designed NOT to send traffic to news publishers.
Traffic from Bluesky to @bostonglobe.com is already 3x that of Threads, and we are seeing 4.5x the conversions to paying digital subscribers.

Who's got some good board / card game recs? Been playing more often over the last year.

Nothing too major - I'm talking things like Azul, Ticket to Ride, Codenames, The Chameleon. Party or strategy games that aren't too difficult to pick up!
