This is my second "holy shit" of the day.
Apparently #LinkedIn if silently collecting data on every extension you use every time you visit the site. Which it then uploads, with your identity attached to it.
This is absolutely horrifying. Literally, people should go to jail over this.

LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer

Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history. Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm. The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s privacy policy does not mention it. Because LinkedIn knows each user’s real name, employer, and job title, it is not searching anonymous visitors. It is searching identified people at identified companies. Millions of companies. Every day. All over the world.

It's got to be pretty embarrassing to be Attorney General and getting fired by a convicted felon.

As correct as it is for a court to point out A YEAR LATER that the demolition of the east wing was illegal, the correct reaction was to arrest the vandal on the day that the crime occurred. AS ONE DOES IN LAW ENFORCEMENT.

Took myself on another solo date to Cat’s Cradle to see Big Star Quintet! What a treat to hear this group of phenomenal musicians play some classic rock in an intimate venue (and All Ages! So awesome to see young people there!). It was cool to hear stories (esp. about Alex Chilton) from the guys, and having Jody - the last surviving member of the original Big Star lineup - tell his stories and sing some songs.

10/10 if you get the chance, go see them!

Wild that a company can just "decline" a recall on their death cheese like that.

The United States is at war with Cuba, but our weapons are aimed at further impoverishing -- and starving -- the population. Destroying the electrical grid will have that effect. It's all blatantly illegal, not to mention immoral. Big Journalism has kind of, sort of noticed, but doesn't really care.

“Karp’s message is loud and clear: My technology will take political capital away from one of your greatest enemies—liberal women with degrees—and give one of your favorite demographics to patronize—working-class men—more political power to transfer to you.”

These fucking women-hating weirdo assholes.

I used to think my nemesis was the finance bro. My mistake. It's the Tech Bro. Specifically, this kind.

Trump, the Ellison family and their cynical -- but rich -- acolyte, Weiss, are spitting on the graves of Murrow and Cronkite. They're neutering the remaining honorable journalists.

CBS was never perfect. But it once stood for integrity. That's done.

It's CBS "News" now.

Lunchtime walk. Grateful to have greenways just steps from my home.
