Pretty sure I missed the Sunday school session about papal crime fighting. Must’ve been after the one about the CompStat on the Mount sermon.

Literally Taco Tuesday.

Your data is everywhere. The government is buying it without a warrant Data brokers buy up huge amounts of information from cell phones and browsers to sell for targeted advertising. But the government, including ICE, also buys the data.

No really, I am not kidding when I say that the data broker industry must be destroyed: www.npr.org/2026/03/25/n...

TIL there’s an emergency room in Brooklyn that’s now named after Home Depot. That’s one way to corner both sides of the nail gun market. 🔨😲

Woke 2? That’s cute. I’m already on Woke 5. We skipped doing a Woke 4 because of conclusions reached during Woke 3. I was there, for all of it. Awake. Increasingly awake. Frighteningly awake. Always awake. I never sleep. I can’t. There’s no time. Woke 6 is coming.

All of our NYU hospital experiences have been aces (except, you know, that bit about having a reason to go to the hospital).
