George Retes, a 25-year-old Army veteran and father of two, had been planning his three-year-old daughter’s Minnie Mouse birthday party at the park for weeks.
Those plans fell apart last week when Retes – a US citizen – was detained by federal immigration agents. cnn.it/3GUP3hB

The National Guard has arrived in Los Angeles, but they were not requested by California. Both Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass made it clear that the state did not authorize or want federal troops deployed.

Some good news: California’s power plants burned 40% less fossil fuel for electricity last year compared to 2023, with battery storage doubled.

California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy
Are renewables reliable? A new study says California ran on renewables alone for a record number of days last year.

Apple doesn’t serve well-targeted ads based on text you type, describing exactly what you’re looking for, in the search box in the App Store, but a million gullible idiots believe they’re serving uncannily accurate ads based on snippets of random conversations secretly recorded from across the room.
Huh oh. As a committed anti-conspiracy-theorist for the "phones listen to your microphone and targeted ads based on what you say" thing I can tell this is going to be exhausting
I think probably 95% of speculation that your phone is secretly listening to you is overblown, but man the tech industry really does not do itself any favors with that 5% arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

The French Revolution, as a process, killed most of the people who thought it was a good idea to start it.
So did the Russian Revolution.
Both of them ended up in long-lasting tyranny.
Try treating them as lessons, not fairy-stories.
