Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

Aides reporting to Musk have locked civil servants out of computer systems containing personal data of millions of federal employees. They’ve requested access to payment systems, too. All the inspectors are gone, so there’s no one to keep an eye on what’s happening.

Smaug, the gold-hoarding dragon. Fourteen Americans are wealthier than Smaug.

Smaug, the gold-hoarding dragon. Fourteen Americans are wealthier than Smaug.

This is Smaug, the dragon from “The Hobbit”. He stole a mountain full of gold. Forbes ranks Smaug as the 2nd-wealthiest fictional character, whose fortune is worth around $51.4 billion. Smaug only ranks as the 15th wealthiest American. Fourteen Americans have more money than a gold-hoarding dragon.

Drove around today to see the last of the snow and ice here in Midlothian, Virginia. It’ll be 60° on Wednesday, and I’m not sure we’ll get any more winter weather. It was pretty!

Today I refuse to stress myself out over the things I cannot control or change. I will focus my energy on creating peace and finding gratitude in the present moment.

I saw this post once that said something like “For people who don’t understand if they’re on the wrong side, look around. If you see people wearing Nazi symbols standing in the crowd you’re in, liking your posts, supporting your causes, you’re on the wrong side.” Makes sense.

I was going to delete my accounts, and then I read this. Something to think about, at least.

Today is National DJ Day. I have been on the air for over 25 years, full-time and part time. This cracked me up!

We’ll be seeing a lot more of this in the next 4 years, unfortunately.

Gluten-free crust, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, sweet peppers, spinach, turkey pepperoni and sheep feta. It was tasty!

Mottos are just words some marketing team came up with. Actions speak louder to me, so when Besos pulled the Harris endorsement, I canceled my subscription. This month a cartoon was 86ed because it showed Besos and other billionaires in supplication to Trump. Truth seems to be in peril at the WaPo.

Some believe it's only great power than can hold evil in check, but that's not what I've found. It's the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.

Heya, folks! Here's my thought for today. I try to put kindness and love out into the world whenever I can.
