I’ve been meaning to watch it!!

My father in law used to run the NYC Marathon annually, and I had visions of trying to run it in his memory, but I’d never qualify. I keep wanting to run across Manhattan at least when we’re visiting but it’s so hard to carve out that much time.

We must require ALL data centers and other extremely large corporate users of electricity to generate their own electricity at their own expense If we don't do this, we are either idiots and/or masochists.

An official NASA portrait of astronaut Sunita Williams wearing a full white Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) spacesuit. The bulky suit displays an American flag patch on the left shoulder, a mission patch on the right, and various controls on the chest pack; she holds the gold-visored helmet. With long dark hair framing her smiling face, she poses confidently in front of a large draped American flag against a cloudy Earth-toned backdrop, symbolizing American space exploration.

A color photograph of NASA astronaut Sunita Williams captured mid-stride running on a treadmill in zero gravity, secured by a white harness and bungee cords attached to her waist and shoulders. She wears a navy blue sleeveless top and shorts, athletic shoes, and gray socks, with her curly dark hair floating weightlessly. The busy ISS module around her features blue handrails, equipment racks, cables, monitors, and various floating items.

She qualified for Boston on Earth with a time of 3:29:57 in the Houston Marathon.

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.

Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.

The system is rigged.

I just got an email from UCLA Extension about their summer classes and it is BLEAK. Most of the offerings are about AI, data engineering, and content creation.

I wish there were *paid* internships and fellowships created exclusively for stay at home moms hoping to re-enter the workforce. Bonus for being remote/mostly remote, maybe hybrid to allow for networking.

Fire Season has the potential this year to be a major tragedy between the decimation of the Forest Service and FEMA. I don’t say this lightly, my entire family live in an extreme danger area, my own house is in an area with some risk.
