So then I said, "Yes, Chicago is a great city for shopping, but, I'm sorry, I can't help you get a visa."

Jon Corbly. Eastern North Carolina, the flat part, pretty close to sea level.

this is actually how they cleaned and ran cables in the particle colliders with ferrets before they became too long*

* the colliders, not the ferrets

#NATO members do not work for Donald #Trump. They are not American vassal states.

Another example off Trump's stunted emotional development rendering him incapable of comprehending any relationship not based on power and domination. Ask his father and ask Epstein.

Yahoo has decided it isn't irrelevant enough.

No one believes #search companies aren't manipulating results to boost revenue. #AI

Yahoo turns to AI in return to its search roots

Internet trailblazer Yahoo is exploring technology’s next frontier with Scout, an answer engine powered by artificial intelligence. Scout seems insightful, based on its response to a question posed by The Associated Press about why one of Silicon Valley’s brightest stars faded away a decade ago. “Yahoo’s journey illustrates how a company with an early advantage can disappear without continuous innovation,” Scout explained. Scout eventually may see things differently if Yahoo CEO Jim Lanzone can leverage AI to expand upon a worldwide audience of 700 million users that have stuck with the company’s services, despite a history of folly that nearly destroyed a brand once synonymous with the internet.

There's no clear evidence but something I've long suspected is that users of VPNs and Tor (.onion) have less anonymity than they might imagine and potentially face greater scrutiny by NSA and Russia/PRC/Israel who have snooping tools we don't know exist. https://www.wired.com/story/using-a-vpn-may-subject-you-to-nsa-spying/
Using a VPN May Subject You to NSA Spying

Where's my stuff?

Who knows.

#UPS failed to hit a delivery date to me -- actually very unusual here -- and now says the package is being held for pickup. I didn't ask for that. UPS tracking doesn't say *where* the package is being held for pickup and their customer service seems to be limited to canned answers to questions UPS wants to answer.

Politico: It's 3 times harder for blue states to get disaster funding under Trump

The president has approved just 23 percent of blue state requests for disaster aid, compared to 89 percent for red states.

"...There has never been such a sharp partisan disparity in the approval of federal disaster funds since FEMA was created in 1979, according to a review of 2,500 natural disaster declarations by POLITICO’s E&E News.

The denials have blocked Democratic-led states from getting a total of $250 million in disaster aid that would have been approved by every previous president including Trump in his first term, E&E News found...."
