#Copilot #Microsoft #CrapWare

No lie, third time today I have disabled #Copilot in Outlook for iPad. Microsoft keeps turning it back on. Of course they do. Microsoft is just an adware company now.

I've noticed there are a lot more bumble bees buzzing around my neighborhood this spring. The county where I live banned a bunch of lawn care products a couple of years ago, and I wonder if the bees are recovering because of it.

Today is the best day to begin #Impeachment proceedings against Donal Trump. The next best day is tomorrow. This will be true every day until he’s removed from office.

Very much this! I stopped into a Wawa with Ionna chargers on a recent road trip — gas pumps on one side, chargers on the other. Plugged in the car, grabbed a coffee, and swiped my CC when charging was done. A few minutes longer than “filling the tank”, but an otherwise normal experience!

So many people are excited about Ionna because they are doing exactly what those of us with normal brains have been wanting the whole time:

Make it a normal gas station which just happens to have fast chargers instead of gas pumps.

Tons of people have been asking for that!

It’s just remarkable that, as close as #Integrity still is to Earth, it’s just gravity and momentum that will swing the craft around the Moon and back to Earth in a week-and-a-half.

And there we have it. How do you turn the spotlight back on yourself after awe-inspiring rocket launch and a snoozer of a press conference?

Fire your Attorney General!

I'm sure most US Presidents in that situation, certainly the ones surrounded by functionally-adult advisers, would have prepared two speeches for such a day. Neither of them would have been about Iran.

But when #Artemis launched it all made sense. He had been basically out of the news cycle for the entire day. Something else dominated the news all day, and I suspect one of his minions knew he'd be bristling at that.

I spent some time with my dad yesterday wondering why #Trump would hold a presser on Iran on April 1. Was he implying the whole was was a joke in his mind?

First real road trip with the Lightning and we found a Wawa with gas on one side of the building and a wonderful charging center on the other. This is the way you do it!

Defense Secretary Hegseth intervened to stop promotions of Black and female officers The four Army officers were on track to become one-star generals, NPR confirms. Defense secretary Pete Hegseth's involvement in the promotion process is highly unusual.

Hegseth reminds us multiple times a day that he is emotionally the 14 year old son of an abusive, alcoholic father.

My parents got my brother and me a brand new Atari VCS (pre-“2600”, with the difficulty switches on the front) when we were kids. Adventure was my absolute favorite!

Microsoft just sent me an email to let me know that someone reacted to an email I sent earlier. This might be the stupidest use of email ever. It’s also exactly what I expect from Microsoft.

When questioned about the state of Iran’s highly enriched nuclear materials, Tina Nguyen’s description of Hegseth is priceless:

“Judging from his face, Pete Hegseth and I appeared to have something in common: We had no idea that this was a serious issue.”

These two paragraphs alone beautifully illustrate the way the US is now run by 14 year old boys with Daddy issues. They’re also worth my annual subscription many times over.

Today the sun got high enough in the sky that we briefly hit 12kW on our home solar setup. Longer days are coming, and the cost of the sun remains $0 per kWh!

Daylight saving time returns Sunday. For millions, it will be the last time the clocks change Daylight saving time begins March 8, and in British Columbia, it will be the last time residents change their clocks. In Washington, lawmakers are once again pushing bills to change the system.

Dear Humanity,

There’s no pre-ordained time when the work day or school day must start. Let’s just stick to 12am = midnight and 12pm = mid-day (aka #StandardTime) year-round, and adjust our schedules based on daylight at our location. This is all this silliness.

Hackers Remotely Kill a Jeep on the Highway—With Me in It I was driving 70 mph on the edge of downtown St. Louis when the exploit began to take hold.

To that point… 2015. Jeep. Gasoline, not electric.

Trump throws a temper tantrum after tariff loss The battle over the tariffs began on day one of the president's second term when he signed an executive order that let him impose a wide range of tariffs on virtually every U.S. trading partner.

#NPR nails it.

It was a week where a Royal and a former President were arrested for potential illegal acts, Trump was rebuked by the Supreme Court for his tariff overreach, and the Wall Street Journal admitted that tax breaks for billionaires were a bad idea.

It was a good week.

It seems that #zombo.com has succumbed to link rot. New owners are trying to do right to resurrect it, but for now the most perfect thing ever on the Internet is gone.
