Thank you @merkley.senate.gov for staying on this. Keep tracking the money. He has perverted our presidency and iharming not only the citizens he swore to serve & protect, but also the free world. Autocrats everywhere are cheering him on. Grifting $1.4Billion isn’t even the worst thing he’s doing.

Anyone else wondering why Bezos wants us to be chatting with an Alexa who now has the voice of a 13-year-old trying to sound sexy? And why do all the voice assistants have to have perky “I can give you energy” tones? I want something that sounds human, but smart and competent.

Checked on ticket purchases for Melanie’s today, the day after opening day. In the general Toronto area, the highest number of seats sold for a showing is 7. Most of the showings have zero seats sold. Most of the seats in the seven are adjacent in a single row, so likely a group. Image has 2 1/

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Another #DataQuality challenge. I cannot tell you how awful it is to restrict a name field to 20 characters or less. This issue would impact Hispanic names as well. Over-restricting fields doesn’t lead to better data quality. 1/

Took my recycling bin out. Was going to clear more of the driveway. t’s too windy and cold. -25° no, yeah, no.

US Citizen. Led a good life. They don’t care.

I watched the video of another person being shot in Minneapolis. I don’t know how many more of these will need to happen to get anyone with even a smidgeon of authority to do something.

Extra funny.

I managed to do 3 technical debt jobs that I had been putting off too long: replaced my abandonware Nest thermostat with a new ecobee. Chipped out the ice mountain the city has left at the end of my driveway. Replaced the firetrap dryer vent stuff. Got rid of 90% of it that was flexible foil

Oh, nooooes.

“Then just don’t go to X if you are a prude” -amazingly clueless person said to me

Watching privileged co-workers telling our foreign teammates that they are silly to be fearful of travelling to the US for work right now — that if they are not criminals, nothing will happen to them. I’m always shocked by this take on safety. I shouldn’t be, but I am. It’s as terrible as

Corruption is rewarded.

SEEING IS BELIEVING DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite. 📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported. DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.

BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.

Imagine hearing your child, terrified at the door, asking you to please open the door, please And knowing when you do, you will also be arrested...unable to help your child, and will be torn from them anyway. And yet, who could not open that door. These vile, vicious bastard Nazis must GO

Do you love Space Data as much as I do?

My challenge medal showed up. I told you they were as big as plates.

This is me. #KarensTravelStories

I think it’s great that Purdue is adding this graduation requirement. I hope these programs have a significant amount of data literacy, responsible AI, and AI governance. www.purdue.edu/newsroom/202...

Whut?

I’m tired. I just saw an article about using “AI Bliss Detection in Data Quality” Hold on That says “AI Bias Detection in Data Quality” Carry on.

Shocking

Anyone else in need of a hot stone massage? Anyone?

I’ve done two row classes now. My upper body is so weak that I have to rest a lot. I don’t feel any stress on my legs, but I can’t up the resistance because my arms aren’t strong enough. That’s the point, right? Going from weak to strong? BTW, #Peloton just add a *real* new to running program.

Where was I?

This Amazon delivery guy carried this 75 pound package from the end of my driveway (100% longer than you can see in this video) because the city had built a giant ice dam at the end of my driveway. He wasn’t even a big guy.

You may have seen this video of a woman shooing away two ICE agents with a bat go viral. It's fake, an AI-generated video. Here's how you can tell and how to fact-check similar content:

Wondering if I could buy an Olympic gold medal to gift to TFG. I could send him one of my race medals. What would be the best Olympic medal to give him? Break dancing? Downhill skiing?

Like I’m not going to test my new rower today🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The AI coaching in this app has been so much better than other fitness ones I’ve tried. It’s data-focused based in all kinds of metrics and logs.

I didn’t want to go out and clear my driveway. But it’s more than 30cm/1ft out there and very fluffy. It was still over the top of my smaller snowblower. The forecast was 10-20cm I’m glad I cleared out the end of my driveway as the city had already built and ice dam at the end of it

Swedish Death Cleaning and found this. A touch screen and a keyboard.

Highly recommended.

I had a manager who had his camera off 100% of the time and I guessed that it was because he wasn’t really into the presentation. We could tell because he always had zero memory of what happened in meetings. Then one day he accidentally turned his camera on. He was hitting a bong, blissed out.

www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2... A horrible way to go. It takes a while to get to the parts about his strong H8 stamements. They left out is pro-r@pe stances. Stop using his content in your presentations. It’s always sad to see a creator go. I’m hoping his hate content goes away, too.

Now I can doomscroll for a bit.

This is why online reviews aren’t real. The front desk told me those rooms would not be renovated for at least a year. 🤷‍♀️

My swag from virtually running the Space Coast Half Marathon this year. The theme was Perseverance. That medal is the size of a plate.
