It did occur to me that one explanation for where we are now is that a few decades from now, the AI successfully sends a terminator back to the present day to kill the leader of the resistance.

As the US guts its foreign aid programmes, China has put forward an alternative path that focuses on financing infrastructure projects rather than humanitarian aid. Many African leaders have said these projects are needed to lift their countries out of poverty www.ft.com/content/23e5...

I wish I could sleep that long. I'm lucky if I get 5.5 hours

Gemini is present when I do any Google search on my end. I'll get a few insights, but with any good researcher, you want to investigate further.

HAHA. The monitors at the Housing and Urban Development building were hacked this morning and displayed an AI video of Donald Trump kissing Elon Musk’s feet, alongside the message: β€œLONG LIVE THE REAL KING.”

I used a Chrome extension called Sky Follower Bridge to find out my contacts of followers in X who are in BlueSky and follow them there. Once I did that, I said adios, X! It's fairly easy to disable. After 30 days, your account and data gets deleted, unless the Muskie is pissing on it.

Took me awhile. I am deleting my X account. My only reservation was that our local NWS posts there, but it seems less and less these days.

Cataloging friends, consider cueing up a local authority record for "Gulf of Mexico" for when the #LCSH is changed. If you're in a consortium, start those discussions now. #critcat

Not surprised. They are walking a fine line of how the organization is perceived both internally and externally, coupled with declining membership due to demographics. If they plan to be around another 15+ years, they have to do something.

Talk about picking your battles. Was he smoking? I always get a kick of folks who are on oxygen, but will still smoke.
