In Chicago again. In 24 hours we managed to have dinner at Le Colonial (Vietnamese), coffee at Paris Baguette, lunch at Robert's Pizza, check out the Frida Kahlo and Roman sculpture exhibits at Art Institutes, and dinner at avec. Bit of a whirlwind there. Ready to relax all day -- oops no - Beyonce.

Macmillan's Flatiron imprint isn't pulling "Careless People" from shelves. But its author isn't allowed to promote it, according to an arbitrator's ruling yesterday. Perhaps the controversy will ultimately boost sales. www.wsj.com/business/med...
She Promised Not to Speak Ill of Meta. Then Wrote a Tell-All. Now, She Can’t Talk About It.
An arbitrator ruled that a former Meta employee has to halt publicity push for her new book; publisher plans to keep promoting it.

Elsewhere, a worker at an intelligence agency says that unidentified outside staffers arrived to sweep the office of anything they felt was related to DEI. That included a plaque, confiscated from a supervisor’s desk, which read, “Be kind to everyone.”

1. Create Bluesky bots to ping and repost information from government accounts.
2. Aggregate those bots into a starter pack.
3. Create a more useful collection of government information without rewarding Musk.

The NTSB says it will no longer email news outlets or reporters with notifications of upcoming press conferences, including those on plane crashes in Washington and Philadelphia.
Instead, all notifications will be made on X.
We're filing a FOIA to find out more about the change in policy.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

I did not have "sponsored ads for racist tchotchke on a major social media platform" on my bingo card for this year, but here we are I guess. Apparently we've made it back to 1975 in just a week. At this rate we should be in the mid-1950s by Tuesday.

Been listening to a lot of Dead Meadow this week. Was trying to figure out how, as a lifelong DC area person, I missed out on a damn good stoner rock band that originated here, but the timeline makes sense. It happened during the time I was working & commuting and had no life.

Didn't feel up to heading into DC for the final Shmoocon today, I'm clearly coming down with something.
But I'm also not too sick to make a hearty and delicious ham & cheese omelet.

It’s over 1,000km from Berlin to Paris
There’s now a direct daytime train between them, that takes 8 hours and costs just €59. Leave at 10am, arrive 6pm.
And… it’s just 1% the carbon emissions of the equivalent flight

When I'm a little bit down in the dumps, I simply remember that I've seen Richard Cheese cover "My Neck My Back" live, twice. That gives me a little giggle, then I go back to mild depression.

As the title says. Installed 2024.45.25.5 and the truck went unresponsive.
So just be aware of this when you press to update.
