Iโ€™ll bet this was a really cool place to be back in the 70s!

Iโ€™ll express disappoint that we didnโ€™t get rain up here but Iโ€™d never blame you for it. You can take the thanks for it raining now, though ๐Ÿ˜‰

Yeah, fond (and not fond, at times) memories. I felt this when I got the Microsoft email that the were bricking it.

I will no longer purchase HP printers because I donโ€™t want to give them remote access to my printer. I donโ€™t need any intrusions into my home network.

Screenshot of a request for feedback form from Square. It asks how their Help page was and gives a choice of 1 to 5, with 1 being worst. If you click a number, they thank you for your feedback but give you no opportunity to comment.

This is what happens when you automate โ€œsupport servicesโ€.

Note that there is no facility for telling them *why* they rated a 2 out of 5. It was because I spent the better part of half an hour trying to figure out how to mark a comment as spam, with their โ€œhelpโ€.

Trump Tariffs Hit Antarctic Islands Inhabited by Zero Humans and Many Penguins The Heard and McDonald Islands are among the dozens of targets of President Donald Trump's latest round of tariffs. But they have no exports, because no one lives there.

I, for one, welcome our penguin overlordsโ€ฆ.

HHS starts layoffs of thousands of workers across its agencies Layoff notices began arriving early Tuesday for thousands of employees of HHS and its subsidiary agencies, with as many 10,000 workers potentially expected to be hit by the cuts.

Sadly, this does not appear to be an April Fools post, although itโ€™s is April and it is clearly the work of fools.

Colorado man declared dead by Social Security still fighting to restart payments: โ€œIโ€™m at my witโ€™s endโ€ Alex Vukovichโ€™s Social Security check disappeared from his bank account in late January after the federal agency mistakenly placed him on its list of deceased recipients.

The Social Security Administration snatched Alex Vukovichโ€™s January payment right out of his bank account and hasnโ€™t made February or March payments โ€” because the government insists he's dead. (He's not)

Myanmar Is in Ruins. And America Isnโ€™t Coming. A 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit Myanmar on March 27. Buildings pancaked in Mandalay. Temples in Bagan shattered. Entire villages buried.

Our hearts are with Myanmar today. Also filled with tremendous sorrow and shame for our country that USAID isn't there to help.

Trump Leads a โ€˜Machineryโ€™ of Misinformation in Second Term (Gift Article) President Trumpโ€™s first four years in the White House were filled with falsehoods. Now he and those around him are using false claims to justify their policy changes.

The @nytimes.com highlighted @cip.uw.edu co-founder @katestarbird.bsky.social's recent 2025 UW Faculty Lecture where she described how a โ€œmachinery of bullshitโ€ has become "intertwined with digital media."

That's not something you get over.
