From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Whether you know a lot or nothing about Silicon Valley, this is a must read piece by my friend and former Wired bud Steven levy @stevenjayl. He has seen the evolution of tech from its beginnings. He knows everyone. Few have as powerful a lens. It’s just seminal. www.wired.com/story/silico...

Tech got what it wanted by electing Trump. A year later, it looks more like a suicide pact.

A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean

So…what he meant was he ran into a domestic violence victim??
The police version of the crash, as relayed by a local Manchester reporter, is unsurprisingly quite different from what Giuliani's spokesman says. The whole thing is even more murky now, however.

When an insurance company is deciding whether to pay for your medical treatment, it generates a file, which should contain all records associated with your case, including documents explaining why the claim was denied.

You have a right to see this file.

I've been building around #WordPress to create a social network based on RSS. I want to get out of being controlled by billionaire-owned sites. I have a feeling we may need a good backup given where we are now.

Sick and tired of Republican Senators coming to me privately saying, “Mark, keep speaking up, you’re our conscience.”

I don’t want to be their damn conscience.

I want them to vote their conscience.

I never used to turn our AC on until we hit 78 inside the house, but this year I’ve lowered that threshold to 75, because if I can’t be happy I can at least be comfortable.

This book took me forever to finish because I needed to consult every third footnote and talk myself out of reading all the referenced sources right this minute. I had to stop reading it at bedtime because it was too exciting for good sleep hygiene.

Anyways, recommended!

Police pulled her over for a traffic violations. Turns out it was the wrong truck they pulled over. WTF. But they found out she was brought to America by her parents at age 4. Turned her over to ICE. A judge released her after weeks in jail. ICE still wants to deport her to Mexico. WTF 🤬

I love (LOVE!!!) what you are doing with WordLand, especially the cool and elegant theme for Wordpress.

I hope someone writes a simple little How To doc that someone like me can follow so I can quickly no drama create a WordLand blog.
