I was assured “its button is there, but it’s not doing anything.” I remain skeptical.

I now need a password, a dual authentication app, and a biometric log in to get into half the things I use at work.

Meanwhile, IT can't explain why copilot keeps turning itself back on.

What are we doing?

"A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly."

Local woman wakes up, writes an oatmeal manifesto about ridding the world of AI, surveillance, and weapons,(along with the corporations and billionaires who profit from them), makes oatmeal.

I have to drive a moving van 900 miles by myself. I think at least one of the people who made the decision to lay me off should be required to help me drive. Or at least pitch in for gas.

There’s nothing new about AI Companions. In the old days we called them imaginary friends and we expected kids to grow out of them.

Elon Musk grilled by senator over X Money plans Skepticism is surrounding X Money.

If Elon Musk’s track record operating X is any indication of how he’ll operate X Money, consumers, our national security, and the stability of the financial system may be at risk. I’m pushing for answers.

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.

Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.

Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.

Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

From the climate to the economy, Republican policies and lies destroy everything.

The CFPB has given $21 billion back to working Americans. It's the only federal agency dedicated to putting average people over billionaires.

I'm joining a coalition of AGs to demand they abandon this reckless plan and continue protecting consumers.

NASA and Mamdani are proving that Americans are desperate to see their money spent in ways they feel good about.

This, however, is not the same thing as simply spending the money on things we would feel good about but never know happened. People need to be able to see it.

Last night in library stress dreams: I dreamed that it was Christmas Eve day, and the archivists were overwhelmed. They had to take care of a gorilla, an alligator, and a classroom of 1st graders because they were the only staff still on campus.

Sometimes I feel unsure of myself, while other people go around in 2026 claiming to have invented the Afro

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.

The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

The whole point is that you’re supposed to be able to use natural language to make computers do stuff, I shouldn’t need training in prompt crafting or whatever.

I find your lack of fees disturbing. #starwars #starwarsday YouTube video by Columbus Library

The federal poverty level for a single adult in 2026 is $15,960

The federal minimum wage is $7.25

By the Fed's own standard, the full-time at minimum wage doesn't pass the poverty line now
