This is today's item that is tickling my anger issues.

'People will think you're creepy and recoil from you, but at least the glasses look good and are great at shading your eyes from the sun' is quite the juxtaposition.

Apparently Alex Karp, CEO of EvilCorp, has posted an absolutely rambling, self-serving manifesto that, among other things, calls for mandatory military service and describes “software” as analogous to a marine’s gun.

That’s because they are war profiteers. That’s what SV is.

LAPD Deployed Drones to Spy on No Kings Protest Flight records show that Los Angeles police dispatched drones 32 times over last month’s No Kings rally.

DFR stands for drone as freedom restrictor.

Democrats are going to be dragged into the data center wars whether they like it or not

American manufacturers who record the interior of your vehicle and the space around it and sell your location and driving data to data brokers : but Chinese cyber

A quote from Albert Camus: He said, “In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. I realized, through it all, that in the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And, that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger - something better, pushing right back.”

It is the communities we build that will truly matter. I belong to the Democratic Socialist of America. I support local organizations doing amazing work both environmentally and socially. If we come together, we can be the light. No contribution is too small.

NYC study shows men are 2.6x more likely than women to bike to work. When protected bike lane coverage is high, women’s cycling rates rise significantly faster than men’s.

When protected lanes are limited or fragmented, women’s participation drops sharply.

Good bike investments give women choices.

Please help us spread the word.

Reading matters

Why does fiction matter?

Because stories can sharpen the way we understand other people.

A meta-analysis found that reading fiction has a small but positive effect on social cognition. Including our ability to interpret emotions, motives, and inner lives.
