So instead of improving healthcare, forgiving student loans or subsidizing child care we decided to spend a few hundred billion dollars bombing Iran then paying them for the damage we did?

Now that Trump's name is being removed from The Kennedy Center, let us continue and remove Trump's name from the US Presidency.

In a spectacular failure of judgement, all four lawyers representing opposing sides in a lawsuit were removed from the case and fined after submitting court filings full of AI hallucinations.

Two of the lawyers have been barred for two years from that court. The best part is the AI tool they used is called First Drafts. 🤦🏾‍♂️

37 years ago today Tank Man stopped a column of 18 tanks as they approached Tienanmen Square in Beijing. Four tanks were seen in the iconic photo, but there were another 14 behind them. I hope to one day be half as brave. #China #TiananmenSquare #64余孽还是太多

I'm curious if there's someone out there:

- who's having or adopting a kid soon
- who's had a falling out with a family member or doesn't have much family support for whatever reason
- who'd appreciate some crochet baby stuff
- who's patient (might take a bit)

If this is you, please reach out. I had a falling out with my pregnant sister and am feeling quite sad about the lost opportunity to make something for a child. You'd be helping me and I'd love to help you.

boosts okay.

Just watched the 1969 film The Italian Job. I fondly remember seeing it when it was new featuring a classic car chase with 3 Fiat 500s. Still great. Didn’t remember the subtext of the Italian vs. British mafia or the earliest computer hacker played by Benny Hill. Worth a watch.
