I was just about to start a recurring donation to Common Sense Media, as while I am probably outside of their normal demographic for users, I still like reading the reviews on the site when evaluating media for my kids.
I was psyched to see a DEI page, and I followed the link, but now it just redirects to their mission. What was there before?
I'm pretty disappointed. I called and said I wanted to support them, but I couldn't until that DEI page comes back.
Sometimes you have to wonder when we lost common sense. AI doesn't offer you genuine relationships. It only gives you a slave that compliments you on every bad decision.

If everything is a priority, nothing is. There must be common sense used with how tasks are handled in the workplace. Everything is not an emergency. #priority #business #commonsense
personally, I would never give an outsider control of my PC, unless it was super duper important. i'm pretty good on the technical side, so if I really needed something done, most of the time, I could do it myself. so luckily I wil almost never use Microsoft's DAD (why the fuck did they name it that) but hey, there may be a time. though i've never had to resort to it.
also this document probably doesn't realize that the user is probably nieve, so will probably just believe the agent. "is this gonna delete or damage my files" agent: "yah dog, we're safe, everything's gonna go to plan".
then I can prosede to damage shit.
remember, you're not in control the minute you give Microsoft access, unless you have

A quotation from Judith Martin
Eating grapes with a knife and fork is not what one would call refined. It is what one would call ludicrous.
Judith Martin (b. 1938) American author, journalist, etiquette expert [a.k.a. Miss Manners]

Men have had their chance to show what a good job they do running government. How’s that working out for the average American?
I am a male. 60 plus years old..
I for one am excited about the change.
I love that women are finally getting their collective voices in government. Maybe some common sense for a change?

Today is #CommonSense Day and I am observing it ironically as a protest. Because it doesn’t exist.
What people think of as “common sense” is a mixture of experience and forethought. If you have no experience with something, you can use forethought to try to figure the best thing to do — but you are lacking some serious feedback that someone else will think “is just common sense.” (My father was big on this and I did at least once tell him that I did NOT grow up on a farm like he did.)

Daylight Savings Time Is a Joke — And It Needs to End, Yesterday
It’s November 1st, 2025 — the day before the clocks “fall back” once again. And as expected, my feeds are flooded with the usual debate: should we keep daylight savings time or not? Every year, the same tired discourse pops up like clockwork (pun intended). Articles, think pieces, Reddit threads, morning talk shows — everyone suddenly becomes an expert in the science of time. And honestly? I’m just going to cut through the bullshit and say what everyone already knows deep down: […]
Daylight Savings Time begins this Sunday.
It’s a small, sometimes controversial ritual. But maybe that extra sunlight is an invitation to stretch, breathe, recalibrate.
A small reminder that even with everything happening in the world, we can still turn toward the light together.

Spending $450M on giant statues while cutting science, health, and public services? That’s symbolism over substance. We should be building things that move humanity forward - not monuments to ego.
