Today, @hbomax.bsky.social airs their new documentary "Thoughts & Prayers" on the $3 billion (!) shooting-preparedness industry and the way the US has pursued moneymaking rather than effective policy change to keep kids safe. @thepom.bsky.social reviews it here: www.the-pom.com/p/review-hbo...

To this day PR people ask me if Intuit really asked me to delete this part of the interview and shake their heads in sad disbelief. My friends what we sell here is our ethics policy
I have no issue with hard questions. Also, no issue with talking about free tax prep, Direct File, etc. Your POV is all good, even if it is counter to what we’ve said publicly (links below). My issue is that the interview deteriorated into something unintelligible to listeners. You asked a question and Sasan answered, then he continued to try and answer your follow ups as you raised your voice and spoke over him. There is ample opportunity in post-production to make the interaction sensical. That’s my ask - to delete that which takes away from the conversation, so listeners understand your question and the answer Sasan gave. Rick I’m sorry, we do not allow the subjects of our reporting approval over our work. This has been central to our very, very public ethics policy since the day we founded The Verge in 2011. I am going to treat your aggressive, explicit request that "At the very least the end portion of your interview should be deleted” as a new piece of reporting information and take it from there.

I was quite surprised to show up at my parents house to find this baby owl in a box. They found it on the ground in their yard along with two dead siblings. Luckily we were able to get this guy over to a wildlife rehab place. They report that it is doing quite well.
A baby owl sits on a blue towel inside a cardboard box. The owlet is mostly fluff but has some flight feathers on the backs of its wings.

@darrenpardee.dissky.com - thanks for the Folks dinner recommendation! We went last night. The tomato/cheese/bread was unbelievably good. Had to order a boring pizza due to the picky child, but it was still great.

Despite the politics of the city council, the Huntington Beach community continues to show that they reject homophobia and transphobia.

Excellent showing tonight.

Uline's owners are the 2nd biggest political donors to Trump, so found a non-MAGA alt rec'd on Reddi: EcoEnclose. For shipping boxes for original comic art, so I got EXACTLY the size I wanted. It's half the price once you add in shipping to my house from Uline. EcoEnc $120.32 vs Uline $238.38.

The Uihleins, Lake Forest residents and owners of the shipping products company Uline, are longtime conservative political donors. Uline, which was once headquartered in Illinois, moved in 2010 to Wisconsin — also home to Schlitz Brewing, to which Richard Uihlein is an heir. The Uihleins have long been active in Illinois politics. They supported former Gov. Bruce Rauner in his successful 2014 election bid. In 2018, they backed his unsuccessful challenger in the Republican gubernatorial primary, then-state Rep. Jeanne Ives. They’ve also supported U.S. Rep. Mary Miller (R-Springfield), who drew widespread condemnation for approvingly quoting Adolf Hitler in a 2021 speech; failed Illinois gubernatorial and congressional candidate Darren Bailey; and U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood (R-Peoria).”

Take a moment and donate whatever you can spare. Our local LGBTQ+ center has received 20k less in donations than last year (which was already down from 2023).

Grants will be interesting going forward. Please help as you are able.

Struggling with social cues as an autistic person isn't necessarily missing them entirely. It's sometimes being painfully aware that someone's annoyed with you... knowing you're making it worse with every word... and having absolutely NO idea why it's happening or how to fix it.

the entire democratic party needs to bury every clinton consultant at sea and just go pritzker mode. how much bigger a softball can they give you than a suit saying “we want your entire lineage in factories forever”

Trump has now arrested a judge for a decision she made in her courtroom.

His FBI director bragged about the arrest online but then deleted the post. They know this is unconstitutional.

There's so much power that comes from including kids in protests. This is what I did in 2017, trying to get our previous congressional rep to meet with us. He’s grown up knowing that he can use his voice for good, he’s an expert canvasser, plus he made some amazing friends.
