This is precisely it. We have to assume all that data is now exposed.

I'm struggling too. I hear you.

I've got a nice (probably chaotic) lunch lined up with my brother and nephew, and of course the girlchild, but other than that it's studying, parenting and laundry for me today.

This may be related to the massive amount of ice cream I've consumed this weekend. I need some veggies and a time out

Americans could have legislation and rights this protective. Instead our data is bought and sold until we're not our own anymore. We're fast heading towards unchecked capitalism and my lord it terrifies me.

It is (compared to what we have in the U.S.) so thoughtfully constructed and elegant. Diving deeply into that content on a weekend where an unelected billionaire now has access to very precious data that should be well protected and isn't is heartbreaking.

We went from covering AI to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and it is not enhancing my take on America's prospects right now. GDPR is this human-focused regulation that puts control over personal data in the hands of the people whose data it is about.

I used to work at a graduate school for speech pathology. Hard things to say are excellent for keeping our mouth muscles active so we have more motor control in our mouths when we age and things would otherwise degrade.

That's the kind of thing that, once randomly needed for an emergency, you can't seem to remember why you ever didn't think you needed one.

So I did too. We were briefly up together, just now, just a couple of glasses of water later, she's back to steady sleep and I'm grateful to follow. We both had a bad day. I'm grateful that sleep is a healthy way to nope out of this kind of day.

I'm pretty much burning up inside myself. I get it.

Seemed appropriate.
At once I remembered a young almost-viking with a head of perfect blonde hair. I was sweet on him then, at fifteen, an age my daughter will be in a few weeks. Today I could barely remember his name.
