watched the new John Candy doc, & I highly recommend it. Candy's films were an integral part of my childhood, & they still bring me joy. Moreover, he appears to have been a genuinely decent person, a rare thing in the entertainment industry. I still miss John Candy.

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to
"help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Bluesky would NEVER send a DM like this and make you scared. This would come through email and would have a more professional email than this.

Can we please get this Shona → English translation paid for? $2935 to go.
(We're out of time to fundraise for the Kiswahili book (Dunia na Watu Wake), but if anyone has $5000, that would fund it - I could get you in touch!)

Please, let's fund the translation of Zvinobvinza. It's been a long seven months.
Many thanks to the first cis white man who we see talk about the project.
At this point, we can't translate the third book unless someone can donate $5,000 (reach out directly) but we *can* close up these first two.

Did you know a former White House climate advisor flipped a GOP stronghold in Virginia by running entirely on putting a stop to more AI data centers?
For @heatmap.news I profiled John McAuliff and a campaign that will be a roadmap for all future anti-AI politicians moving forward.

I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class. That led to other theater work, to Sid Caesar, to Mel Brooks, and all the rest. All because of one free class paid for by a government that felt the arts were worth teaching.
you ever think about the works progress administration? I sure do. I wish that was a thing now. I would be so glad to contribute my labor to like. A random ass local bridge

Today the fix that randomly came to mind was actually valid. After changing one word, I then backed up the entire project (including offline/to HD) with a unique dated filename iteration based on this single change.
