I love my husband so muchβ€”he got me a few outfits I wanted and the most thoughtful writer’s birthday gifts.

This cute t-shirt, socks, and lavender candle. These are my favorite. πŸ’™

A reminder that your US public library card likely gives you free access to Libby, an app that has ebooks & audiobooks galore!

It likely gets you other cool stuff, too. Mine gets me museum passes, language learning via Mango app, movies & TV via Kanopy app, &c.

Using the library keeps it open! πŸ’™πŸ“š

KILMEADE: Would you do a standalone military vote to get them paid during the shutdown?

I really hope the AI bubble bursts soon. So sick and tired of them shoving it into everything whether it makes sense or not.

It's a difference between how Linux and Windows adjust the system clock. There is a setting in Linux that will change it to use the same base as Windows.

Had to reboot into Windows to do a thing, and made a couple of Bluesky posts from there. Posts were getting zero interactions, I couldn't understand why. Turned out the system clock was wrong, and I was making posts into the past.

Windows, man.

These GOP Lawmakers Referred Constituents to the CFPB for Help. Then They Voted to Gut the Agency. Many of the same Republican lawmakers who have targeted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for cuts have collectively directed thousands of constituents’ complaints about banks, credit cards, lo...

Reps. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Rob Wittman, R-Va., and Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, all voted for cuts to the CFPB.

Yet collectively, they routed more than 1,000 constituent complaints to the agency, ProPublica found.

Department of Justice lawyers, from Main Justice to AUSAs in the districts, have ALWAYS enjoyed a sort of aura of truth and justice and trust. That was arguably always unjustifiable but Trump DoJ has absolutely pissed it away with compulsive lying.

Scientists Completed a Toxicity Report on This Forever Chemical. The EPA Hasn’t Released It. Agency scientists found that PFNA could cause developmental, liver and reproductive harms. Their final report was ready in mid-April, according to an internal document reviewed by ProPublica, but the ...

The forever chemical PFNA is so hazardous that the EPA struck an agreement with 8 companies to phase it out nearly two decades ago.

Now an EPA report on its harms sits in limbo, and the Trump administration won’t say when it will be released.

Reporters need to start asking all of them if they know what β€œantifa” is short for. Make them say it out loud. Then ask them if they are pro-fascist. Make them say that part too.
