This is what the scene looked like at 2:48 p.m. when the first group of feds made their exit. They gassed people again at 3:27 p.m.

So during this attack, Bovino congratulated his guy who kicked everything off by shooting a woman five times.

but...that would mean

Let me introduce myself: Hi, I'm Sarah. In 2018, I dropped out of school. I scraped 15,000 university emails to invite everyone to an entrepreneurship conference I was hosting. Subject line: Lost keys on marshall st. (AKA the street where students go to bar hop). The rest of the email said "Tricked you! Come to this conference..." The business school hated that.

new insane linkedin post just dropped

A post on threads from user stephens_bens. It reads 'I'll always remember an interview with Steve Buscemi on Bulleye, Jesse Thorn asked him "As an actor with many decades of varied and outstanding roles across your career, does it ever bother you that one of the things you will most be remembered for is a 3-second gif in which you're wearing a backwards baseball cap and carrying a skateboard?" And without missing a beat, Buscemi replied "I'm carrying *two* skateboards." And you know what? He is.' Below that is a screen cap of Buscemi's famous "fellow kids" moment.

I never noticed this either.

Nick Davidov • @Nick_Davidov • 1d The comments to my recent post where I scared the hell out of myself and upset my wife by accidentally allowing Claude to delete 15 years worth of photos (now restored thanks to iCloud/recovery) opened up topics I rarely discuss publicly. Every time our married friends discuss how they handle privacy, shared budget, who pays for what, or who can access what, we feel we can't really chime in. Because we understand our marriage is very different. Here's how we operate: @msdavidova and I have always had a shared account with equal access to it. All of our money is our money, there's no "hers" or "mine" We work and parent together, and even if at a time one is working more and the other dedicates more time to parenting it doesn't mean any input is less equal. After all we both have the exact 24 hours in a day. We work differently, each has their strengths and we respect that.

This 100% transparency allows for an ultimate, no questions asked/no strings attached communication, genuine connection and trust. 100% trust means we can truly relax in each others company, have much lower levels of stress and anxiety (or can do more high-anxiety work without burning out), and, honestly, just brings us joy every day. I understand it is very hard to do so in the modern world. My wife and I lived and worked together for the last 18.5 years, we started early when we both were college students with next to nothing to our name (although she was making 2x of my salary). There were no messengers, no social media, we were already dating when iPhone got released, so it was super easy for us to start doing things this way. Now even a 16 year old who starts dating has like a terabyte of their private stuff digitized and it's almost impossible to let another person into this without the fear of being betrayed.

It is absolutely healthy to have boundaries. Every couple is different, and healthy relationships come in a lot of forms. That said, I like Lev Tolstoy's quote "All happy families are alike, every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way", and I do sincerely hope people can figure out how to get to 100% trust in their relationships. It is incredibly empowering for both. But again, if it really works for you both - don't change a thing. Tolstoy didn't have iCloud and Claude so what does he know.

Okay buddy, the problem isn’t that you and your wife have this amazingly trusting relationship. It’s that you’re a full grown founder engineer man and you have baby brain trust of AI

Eleven years ago, we set out with a radical premise: that the age-old profession of accounting could be transformed by the ever-advancing power of Artificial Intelligence. In 2015, we weren't just a startup; we were pioneers in a landscape that didn't yet understand nor trust that Al could handle the nuance of a general ledger. Today, it is with the heaviest of hearts, and also a profound sense of gratitude for the journey, that I announce the closure of Botkeeper. For over a decade, or roughly one-third of my life, Botkeeper has been ubiquitous for Al innovation in Accounting, and more personally, it has been my family, my friends, my identity, and my life. Together, we pushed an entire industry to undergo a revolution. We evolved from a tech-enabled service for small businesses into a sophisticated platform and partner to accounting firms.

the end of 2025, our "Infinite" platform had become the Al powerhouse we always dreamed of. It was capable of cleaning up years of messy data in minutes, autonomously reconciling accounts, and coding 80%+ of transactions with a staggering 98% accuracy. We were two months away from launching "Cassie," our voice-activated assistant, and our autonomous check-scanning technology. We didn't just build a product; we built the future of bookkeeping - a vision we instilled in our slogan since launching. People often ask why or how a tech company, having raised significant amounts of capital from marquee investors, closes suddenly. In our case, it was a "perfect storm" of macro-economic shifts that arrived more swiftly than we could course-correct. Over the years, we oscillated between Product Concept Fit, a term I coined internally, and Product Market Fit. As quickly as we iterated on our offering and saw early signs of traction, we were met with equally rapid market shifts. Our team and investors remained optimistic, as we were attempting to modernize one of the oldest and largest markets, leading as a trailblazer and innovator. Then in late 2025, we faced a series of unexpected industry consolidation that significantly impacted our largest clients and, in turn, our revenue and planned growth. The speed and scale of these changes altered our financial outlook in a matter of weeks, ultimately leaving us without a sustainable path forward and requiring us to begin an orderly wind-down of the business.

Never heard of Botkeeper, but apparently they were a decade-old startup that raised $90M to do automated/AI-powered accounting. And today it announced an immediate shutdown because of “unexpected industry consolidation”

@Nick_Davidov 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.

In 1927, Donald Trump’s father was arrested after a Klan riot in Queens On Sunday, Trump declined to disavow the support of white supremacists.

In light of Trump’s post yesterday, some history:

“On Memorial Day 1927, 1,000 white-robed Klansmen marched through the Jamaica neighborhood, eventually spurring an all-out brawl in which seven men were arrested. One of those arrested was Fred Trump.” www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix...

Pregnant mother dies after getting hit by car while riding e-bikes with family

Cole-Graham was riding an electric bike with her 3-year-old son in the saddle around 6 p.m. Saturday in the Playa del Rey neighborhood of Los Angeles. Her husband and other young son were riding along with them. Los Angeles Police say a car driven by an 87-year-old driver hit Cole-Graham from behind, throwing her onto the roadway. The car then continued forward, rolling over her, police say. Cole-Graham and her son were both rushed to the hospital, where the mother was pronounced dead. Police said hospital staff were able to deliver her unborn child, but the baby did not survive, according to family members. Authorities did not provide an immediate update on the 3-year-old's condition but said he was expected to survive.

apparently this was the second fatal crash THIS WEEK in LA involving an elderly driver who hit a bicyclist and then proceeded to hit the gas and kill someone
