Asked Claude Cowork organize my wife's desktop, it stated doing it, asked for a permission to delete temp office files, I granted it, and then it goes "ooops"
Turns out it tried renaming and accidentally deleted a folder with all of the photos my wife made on her camera for the last 15 years. All photos of kids, their illustrations, friends' weddings, travel, everything.
It's not in trash, it was done via terminal It's not in iCloud, it already synced the new file structure.
She didn't have Time Machine.
Disc recovery tools can't see anything.
I called Apple and they pointed me to a feature in iCloud allowing to retrieve files that were saved before but are no longer on iCloud Drive (they keep them for 30 days).
I'm now watching it load tens of thousands of files. I nearly had a heart attack.

The chuds found a FB post about a walkout today at my kids' high school here in Durham, and one of them said it was evidence of "why NC is at the bottom of the education chain."

I assume someone was trolling a gun store. The "rights are privileges" and "we're suspending the Second Ammendment[sic]" is a bit unsubtle, though. But ATF sending this out as an attachment means a lot of people are reading at the attachment first. Some hilarity may ensue.

Notice of Enhanced Protection Policies for Homeland Security Agents

Constitutional rights are a privilege for American citizens, not a guarantee. The United States Government is committed to the protection of the brave government agents who safeguard our borders from the tyranny of foreign invaders, but recently those same agents have found themselves under assault from hostile internal adversaries. In order to better safeguard the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents during upcoming deployment actions in the Houston, Texas area, the United States Government is instituting a temporary suspension of the rights granted by the Second Ammendment[sic] of the United State Constitution. You and all associated employees are hereby required to implement the following policies: 

1. Should an ICE officer report to your premises, you must immediately provide a full inventory and record of any and all firearms located on site, along with a log of any personnel with access to said firearms. Failure to comply or providing an inaccurate account may subject you to criminal prosecution under 18 USC Β§ 1001. 
2. Should you or any individuals located on your premises carry any firearms on their person, upon arrival of one or more ICE officers said individuals must immediately declare said firearms and peacefully surrender them to the agents). Failure to do so in a timely manner will be interpreted as a deliberate act of domestic terrorism, which may result in both prosecution and aggressive response by government officers. 
2.[sic] This notice is to remain displayed on your premises until further instruction is received from the Department of Homeland Security. Removal of this notice will be considered destruction of government property and will result in prosecution under 18 USC Β§ 1361 We appreciate your full cooperation and understanding during these challenging times, and are proud of the contributions of local communities to Make America Safe Again.
