#Bluesky's decision to use #Google Forms to collect personally identifiable credentials and other personal information from users who wish to be "verified" can easily call into question Bluesky's entire security and privacy regime, which in this case at least appears to be utterly amateurish and uninformed.

All this talk about AI infecting the planet like cordyceps and the potential extermination ('scuse, enslavement) of the working class by the hands of the ruling class makes me think maybe it's time for a Butlerian Jihad.

An update from Memphis:
* Elon Musk’s xAI is building a second supercomputer
* That supercomputer is going to use a jaw-dropping amount of power that triggers federal oversight
* The agency in charge of that oversight is in the crosshairs of the Trump administration, of which Elon Musk is an unelected part
* Local leaders and press aren't doing nearly enough to address the concerns of pollution and energy use

Today I learned there is a vaccine for the cancer that killed my mom in development. In a stage 1 trial, it cured the cancer for people with Stage III and IV cancer. That made me tear up for what might have been.
Then I learned that legislators in some states are trying to ban RNA vaccines (which this possible cure is) and I really cried.

As they say, shots fired. HBO usually gets distributed via Sky in UK, so there's a good chance I won't be watching it regardless of any decision to boycott.

Wenshan Baozhong is a very low oxidation oolong. This "Competition Grade" sample came from the (Taiwan based) Eco-Cha tea club in 2020 or 2021. It drinks like an extra floral green tea. Oddly, even though it is low oxidation and little to no roast, you sometimes see aged versions of Wenshan Baozhong.

Seeing posts go viral by pointing out if the stock market goes down 50% on one day and up 50% the next day, you aren’t back where you started. $100 -> $50 -> $75.
We are so cooked if elementary school math is blowing people’s minds like this.

Workers at one of the nation’s largest baby formula plants say the Abbott Labs facility is engaging in🚨unsanitary practices similar to those that led it to temporarily shut down just 3 yrs ago, sparking a nationwide formula shortage.
The plant takes shortcuts when cleaning MANU EQP & testing for microbes.
The new head of the FDA division that oversees baby formula is a corporate lawyer who previously defended Abbott against a lawsuit.

"Those of us who have lived in countries terrorized by a secret police force can’t shake a feeling of dreadful familiarity. 'I never realized until this moment how much fear I carried with me from my childhood in Communist Romania,' another friend…told me. 'Arrests were arbitrary and every time the doorbell rang, I started to shiver.'"
