“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas”
Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.

I've done a lot about Google Search and I honestly could do more about TPUs, but there's not a ton out there about the buildout. That being said my Signal is ezitron.76 if you work at Google, especially in Google Cloud or Capex 😀 I have so many questions 😀 please tell me stuff 😀
Ed, you’ve looked at NVIDA very closely lately and given really good information. Is there any plan to do the same scrutiny on Google and its ai efforts? Google seems to be the only mag 7 company that isn’t circular financing NVIDA and seems to be the company Altman is most concerned about now

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line.
Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding!

I told Schumer and Gillibrand that a "promise" of a vote on ACA funding from Rs is worth NOTHING. You cannot trust them on ANYTHING. No deal without funding the ACA.
If they cut this deal and ACA funding is cut, they will be responsible for the deaths of people who can no longer afford insurance.

And if you donate, please donate money (if you can) - food banks get a LOT more bang for your buck.
As my friend the ED of a food pantry says: Every $1 you give can provide as many as 3 meals.
