weird how Hegseth went from ordering it to not knowing about it.

Kinda like how the DOJ didn't show the Comey indictment but then they did show the indictmen

If you have 45 seconds, could you listen to this audio and let me know which of the three clips you think sounds best? (First, second, or third? They're each about 15 seconds.)

I'm fiddling with my audio editing, and I've listened to them so many times I've lost all perspective.

It's crazy how two people doing something in a garage can get folks turn into something of a religion, where individuals are willing to pay millions for paper. https://mastodon.online/@9to5Mac/115616484841704061

AI has taken over the search on Google TV.

It goes to a screen about gemini and then there's no way to do the search. At least on mine doesn't.

Sooooo useful.

The United States government has ordered its employees not to speak at any events for World AIDS Day or promote them on social media.

I guess they think that if we ignore HIV/AIDS it will just go away.

It didn’t work for Reagan and it’s not going to work now.
1/ ⚠️ Breaking: At CDC, we've been told the US Government will not officially commemorate World AIDS Day this year. No explanation given.

So VS Live is in two weeks, and 10% of flights going into Orlando are likely to be canceled. This should be a fun experience.

Good thing everyone in healthcare decided to go to cloud providers

Insurance site - down

When was the last time a GOP House did something that wasn't screwing over the majority of Americans by giving the elite more income/power when the laws already favor them?
They're the largest group of lazy bastards ever to convene into a group. The Do Nothings. And this group isn't even trying […]

How about this: if you, the insurance company, fuck up and process a claim wrong, then you, the insurance company, have to pay the difference when your error is pointed out to you by the provider. That would, I think, be fair.
What would also be fair is a time limit: you, the insurance company […]
