It took Slate Auto about seven months to grow its customer list by 50%, but new reservations appear to be outpacing any cancelations.

This is a metaphor for the tech industry overall circa 2025

Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.

Prediction: iOS will be SiriOS and/or Android will be GeminiOS by 2029, probably earlier. The desktop icon metaphor barely made sense on computers and porting it to smartphones was a lazy-but-effective solution. Will only happen if we users actually prefer it, which seems likely to be the case.

HUGE. Judge Xinis grants the writ of habeas corpus and orders that the government "SHALL release [Kilmar] Abrego Garcia from ICE custody immediately."

HOPE WALZ: “What world are we f*cking living in? I draw the line at Gus. You people are f*cking disgraceful.” She says MAGA loyalists are now driving by their home and yelling “R*tard!” at her family and her special needs brother after Trump called GovTimWalz the R word.

I cannot recommend enough that you watch this video. @hcrichardson.bsky.social is extremely informative, not inflammatory, and lays out the national situation brilliantly. youtu.be/tPKtdmDxxNM?...

A bit of a rant post today. A company called #micron, which owns the brand #crucial, makes ~1/3rd of the RAM (memory) currently used GLOBALLY. Today, they announced that they will no longer sell to consumers, and will instead sell exclusively to 'enterprise' partners....

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election. As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

Trump makes the outrageous claim that “most” immigrants, which include over 25 million U.S. citizens, “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.” As insulting as the “deplorables” comment, and on Thanksgiving day no less.

I have said many times that the US is in more trouble than it realises. But oh my, this is terrifying. How many millions think the same way!!

Some #Canada geese I shot on the New River in #Radford #Virginia. This was a part of my self-care #photography day a few days ago, and is one of my favorites. If you zoom in, you can see the actual geese. I think that the overall feel of the photo is what I like most.

From my self-care #Photography walk a couple days ago. Two #fawn grazing and watching the photographer to make sure he doesn't get too close.

Quiet part, meet out loud.

An Eastern Gray #squirrel on my #photo walk today. I know squirrels are boring, but I find them cute.

I took a little time for me today. Decided I would do some #photography before work and after work for a couple hours, and I seem to have got a couple good ones while I was out there. Here is #Momma #deer under the tree, and the kids off playing.
