TIL: PBS has a streaming service called Passport that you get access to for as little as $5 donated to your local station per month. It's good! Lots of great documentaries, some foreign language shows, usual PBS stuff.

Warning: fediverse scam alert

You've promised yourself that you'll sit down to just read a few toots and, two hours later, you've read 500+ toots, made six new friends, and installed Linux or BSD on your laptop.

What a scam.

One of the companies I consult with dropped a heads up in the Slack channel that someone was sending out requests claiming to be their CEO asking for Apple gift cards and not to respond because it’s a scam. I replied I know he only accepts Google Play cards but nobody laugh reacted so I’m sharing my joke here because I need dopamine

Someone in an online group I follow just posted this in a thread:

"I asked AI, and it said" -- words followed, and some were incorrect.

This person was demonstrating total trust in a system that is totally untrustworthy. The hype is working, and the result is going to be terrible.

CBS, soon to be owned by Larry Ellison and family, is wasting no time turning into just another right-wing media company.

Paying Trump's extortion, trial-ballooning a "Free Press" buyout, canceling Colbert (and soon Stewart?) -- there's nothing mysterious in this pattern.

Fascinating poster from the American Holocaust Museum. Thank goodness we aren't exhibiting any of these right now.
