I do some things slightly better than poorly, but where I truly excel is at failing tasks successfully.
(Instrumental audio version because I can't find a clean version of "Carry the Weight" online.)
You can't make the US safer by making 10 million+ traumatized young men in poverty and desperation. That has the opposite effect.
If you create a society where the only safety and companionship and brotherhood that people feel is through violent self-preservation groups, then the outcome is inevitable.
Now understand that most people in jail in the US are not convicted criminals. Most people in jail in the US, are poor people in jail pre-trial, just like this woman.
They're disproportionately Black. Many are 100% innocent.
Most of what cops do, is fine/arrest poor Black people, for minor charges.
Cops don't care if the person is really innocent or guilty.
Cops don't care if many innocent people plead guilty two crimes that they could not possibly have done, just so that they won't be in jail for 6 months to a year and lose everything.
Sigh.
New boss: “You’re good at writing notes.”
Me: “Thank you, it helps me to remember so I have been writing summaries for many years.”
New boss: “You should try CoPilot and see what it can do.”
Me: “Well I enjoy summarizing my notes, and it helps me to learn and remember.”
New boss: “Let me show you something I did in CoPilot.”
Ugh. Writing it myself helps me LEARN and REMEMBER. Why are these AI zombies so intent on changing a process that is helpful to me? Feeding notes through CoPilot won’t benefit me when it’s the act of writing that works for me.

Nearby Glasses is here to warn you when smart glasses are nearby.
I hope it's useful for someone.
The app is now open source (AGPL-3.0), the app is free and rather simple

It's also downloadable outside the Play Store. iOS port is in the making. F-Droid is an option, will have to look into that

Posted into Headlines @headlines-PBSNewsHour
As national Democrats search for a unifying theme ahead of the fall's midterm elections, a California proposal to levy a hefty tax on billionaires is turning some of the party’s leading figures into adversaries just when Democrats can least afford division from within.
