In February, I started researching to write a near-future dystopian story to harness my anxiety & rage over the news. I'm really disappointed to find more & more news that indicates my predictions for that future are spot on. Maybe I need to write it into being, so my ragtag team can save us all.

Has anyone tried to sign up for the G Trends API and heard back yet?

My kiddo loves the Z-O-M-B-I-E-S movies from Disney. It's the premiere for the latest so we made themed snacks. Pink & green popcorn & shrimp for the OG Seabrookers then garlic crackers, Sun chips, oranges for the Daywalkers then grapes, blueberries and a cheese crescent moon for the Vampires

Saw this tonight and was completely blown away by this set, lighting, etc. Plus, I was a huge Glee fan so lovely seeing Darren Criss. Laughed out loud several times. Excited to see what they take home at the Tony's! youtu.be/U4o-Vg-DrL8?...

So relieved that United changed my flight for my upcoming trip to NYC and offered a refund. Had booked to fly into EWR before all this mess lately, and it was making me so nervous. Headed thru LGA on my preferred airline now!

Aside from the reminder of the passing of time (how is this 20 years old), this video always makes me crack up! www.pcgamer.com/games/world-...

Republicans ready to invoke the 25th amendment for Biden but make it Trump

Going to see Maybe Happy Ending and Gypsy when I'm back in NYC next. To gear up for seeing Darren Criss in MHE, should I rewatch all of Glee before then?! As a show choir kid, I loved that show. #broadway

Interesting that the "first woman ever to be elected to those positions" is mentioned when that is what they've been purging from records throughout government.

Oh geez! More AIO "fun."

Finally set up Apple TV so I can watch Lessons in Chemistry. Loved the book so hopefully this can live up to it.

Are we already at model collapse? venturebeat.com/ai/the-ai-fe...

What does the expression “a loose dog won't surf” mean? Absolutely nothing. But if you type that into Google, AI Overviews will not only confirm that your gibberish is a real saying, it will also tell you what it means and how it was derived. Oh AI...

Couldn't make it to the event last week when @scalzi.com was in town, but was able to pick up a signed copy of When The Moon Hits Your Eye from that JB Booksellers today!

At this rate the pattern seems to be ... Say something stupid over the weekend or late in the week for a sell off and then walk it back a day or two into the next week. 😒

Another one for the AIO hate haha

Here's a thought... How about we have policies that support healthcare for all and education and ensuring families can afford their groceries and utilities? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/u...

I think I have a new fav #musical! &Juliet takes good things from other musicals & makes them better. 💅Energy, costuming & female empowerment of Six 🕰️ History anew like Six & Hamilton 🎶 Popular music integration like Moulin Rouge but 00s pop & better comedic timing 📖 Bonus: nerdy English lit jokes

AIOs are just the best /s

Judge Wilkinson: "If today the Executive claims the right to deport without due process and in disregard of court orders, what assurance will there be tomorrow that it will not deport American citizens and then disclaim responsibility to bring them home?" storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Guy on a main road around here had two Trump flags along with the American flag. We had some major winds recently, so all were taken down. Only the American flag was put back up... Maybe seeing things for what they are or the cheap MAGA merch got wrecked in a storm. 🤔

For weeks, stupid Gemini tried to give me text responses when I asked it to open Spotify while I'm driving. Finally found where to revert back to Assistant and immediately it did what I wanted.

Obligatory poolside vacation photo. Really needed some sun and relaxation!

At this moment, TSLA is down over 8% in after hours trading while NVDA, Apple, Alphabet are that bad.

So the WI thing I suppose has people looking more into the first go around and "surprise, surprise" didn't pay! www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-am...

Senator Kaine when asking a question mentioned this is up for a vote tomorrow!

I was asleep from like 2 to 7:30am but have had it on at least in the background all the other time (like 15 minutes after he started). From what I've seen, he continues to talk about the issues (plenty of fodder!) and hasn't been just reading random documents or books. Amazing!

While I've been happy to actually hear from the legislative branch doing something, if Booker keeps going that's to stop them from voting on this resolution, right? www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Just before 1 am ET (just before 6 hour mark), he read a letter from someone with Parkinson's and he started tearing up thinking about his father. That fueled an impassioned few minutes I wish everyone would watch with better audio than me recording my TV. There's even more after that.

Tune in to show support!

Major storms all night. My kid is asleep in the basement now so I guess we will just stay here all night. String of them doesn't stop until after 1am 😕

My Pixel has automatically turned my Google Assistant to Gemini since I never opted in. Still haven't opted in and not happy about it.

Finally one of these firms is standing up to this!

So will these 60% of Republicans stand up and speak out of no one in that group is held accountable? www.axios.com/2025/03/27/t...

My 7-yr-old keeps saying "papes" now after watching Newsies (which should probably be a mandatory rewatch nowadays). I tell my husband our kid is going to school and is gonna be like "Hey teach, get me some papes!" 😅

So when some of the responsibilities of DOE were meant to go to HHS how does that look now? We need some investigative reporters to keep track of all the things they say are continuing but moving and what actually comes of that as more moves/reductions happen. Probably @wired.com ?

Umm I get that this is effed that Musk is getting the briefing but also ummm ... Are we going to war with China?! That's a big effin deal too

Columbia Journalism Review tested eight generative AI search tools and found their answers were wrong 60% of the time, and the paid ones actually fared worse than the free ones. Meanwhile, millions of people trust the way they present total bullshit with confident language.

He sounds really subdued. Looks like reading off a teleprompter aside from maybe the "legendary" comment. Health issues or just realizing he is nothing more than the mouthpiece for all the others pulling his strings?

Was interested that there's a special announcement so turned on the WH YouTube stream... Asked about Dept of Ed, Trump talks about "all these states that are doing it so well," naming Indiana, Idaho and Iowa. I'm like hmm 🤔 School vouchers... They all have or should have them this year 🙄

At the library and there's a ~4ish year old singing every line to Pink Pony Club. I love it and feel like that kid's parent is my kind of person.
