Microsoft would like me to read their new Terms of Services agreement. The agreement itself says, "ESTIMATED READING TIME: 55 Minutes; 14268 words." What the hell are they hiding in there?

I there are a couple activities I would really like to do again that I stopped doing during the height of COVID. Because I have #LongCOVID I worry about travel and going to the gym. Curious about what others with #chronicIllness are doing.

The GOP has figured out a couple things:
1. Their policies are hugely unpopular, and they could loose the House in the Midterms.
2. If they fix the Midterms via gerrymandering they win the House.
3. The party that wins the House in 2026 can certify the presidential election in 2028.

A Brazilian response to Trump Tariffs:
“If the Americans don’t want to buy, we sell to Europe and the Middle East. We aren’t just dependent on the Americans.”

So … how do you make that latte without milk?

If importing raw materials involves high tariffs then the tariffs are a major incentive to move production overseas.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting represents everything Americans value and authoritarians fear: fairness, curiosity, exploration of ideas, and above all, education. RIP CPB.

And no one listened to her.

Oh God forbid, we’d all be dead.

Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

He's about to do the same with Jobs data.

That picture of Lauren Bacall is my all-time favorite image of her.

This morning I saw three bicycle riders together. One rode a traditional touring bike, one road a newer e-bike, and the third road one of those wild art bikes that you see in the May Day parade. South #Minneapolis is so much fun.

I like BlueSky, but I’m still baffled by search. I want to search by subject or hashtag to broaden the topics in my feed, but I can’t figure out how to do it.

With all the options in social media, how does one choose where to spend their time? I’m an old fart trying to connect with people of all ages so I’m still on Facebook but I’m testing TikTok, Substack, this and Mastodon, Discord. It’s a whirlwind.

Sad, not sad.

Bagpipes drowning out Trump as he’s speaking. Can we make this a thing everywhere he goes

Aberdeen, Scotland:

The bollards are like the old video games where it was fun to aim for the airport tower. Wheee!

Why do these stories keep showing pictures of Ms Clark? She’s not the stalker—she’s not the one breaking the law.

It seems fairly obvious that Trump will use the shooting currently underway in Manhattan as a pretext for an aggressive crackdown in New York City.

My sister is like this, but she has been able to work 2nd shift all her life. We lived in what is now called the Rust Belt, but when it was industrial there was much more shift work. There was even 2nd shift day care.

I had no idea there were new Bloom County strips!

“And to hate all but the right folks is as American as Apple Pie …”

I was in a church discussion yesterday about who is a visionary and a mentor. The pastor asked if we have found ourselves in either position. I can say I’ve been a mentor—I can’t see myself as a visionary.
