The other night, I had a nightmare and B had to wake me up.
IMMEDIATELY, I started peppering him with questions/concerns about the Toy Story universe (note: the nightmare was not about anything even vaguely related to Toy Story).
Here is how that conversation went:

I think about the Planeteers almost daily, that show really set the stage for millennial adulthood
They need to update Captain Planet with the Planeteers now being labeled "eco-terrorists" and the bad guys are CEOs and AI. The Planeteers are fed up and now have started using their powers lethally because Gaia is dying slowly due to how the planet is being treated.

Say what you want about Kendrick but the fact that people are figuring out what “40 acres and a mule” in 2025 is why any education to black history is important, no matter no big nor small.

I've *FINALLY* gotten two of my favorite nerd friends into BG3. I just gotta say - the only thing better than being blown away by that game the first time is watching your friends have that reaction.
We all need a little joy right now, and that's some of mine for the moment.

Threatening people under duress with retaliatory surveillance and abandonment for being too under duress to do the labor you want
Is a really common tactic and for folks who are marginalized
Please cut that shit out
Also stop encouraging it

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth.

Don’t Buy a Tesla. Sell Your Tesla. Refuse a Tesla at the Rental Counter. Yes—It Will Help.
Elon Musk’s car company is in a precarious spot.

There are some infosec folks who are playing semantics or splitting hairs or saying ‘let’s wait and see’ in defense of what the DOGE workers are doing. If they witnessed such sloppy cybersecurity in any corporate environment, they would be screaming bloody murder. Why the double standard? Why?

If you make yourself the target of a federal criminal investigation because you can't control your stupid social media posting, people will rightly consider you an unsafe person to organize with.
Nobody wants feds up in THEIR shit because you couldn't stop fedposting. People have real work to do.

If you can't find an online history for an organization (or, if it's a coalition, it's component organizations), DON'T GIVE THEM YOUR INFO
my god PLEASE do not sign up online for an organized general strike via a slick looking website claiming hundreds of thousands have already registered.
even if it's not a honeypot, it's still going to be a honeypot.
