Tell people at work to turn things off and on again but these are personal opinions. He/him

The year is 2035. You hear a voice coming out of your AI toothbrush with a microscopic camera.

"Your Bart Simpson t-shirt doesn't go with those SpongeBob pajamas pants," I say through your toothbrush. "To understand men's sleepwear, we have to go back to 18th century India."

Netanyahu: "I want to strengthen the settlement movement. We have established or renewed about 200 communities, including outposts and farms."

This is not a rogue faction. The Prime Minister of Israel is openly bragging about stealing Palestinian land

And yet, when someone says the same words- "Israel is committing ethnic cleansing"- they cry antisemitism

Considering a 4-hour detour because turning isn’t really my thing

[Pedro L. Gonzalez @emeriticus]

I went to Springfield after Vance spread the lie that Haitians were eating dogs and cats. There I met Christian activists involved in caring for the vulnerable, regardless of immigration status, who told me that these lies unleashed a deluge of hate aimed at them. That was Vance’s work. But what struck me most was how it didn’t deter them at all from their mission of looking out for other people. And when Vance got called out later for spreading those lies, he smugly said that he likes to make up stories to get attention. This is a guy who was willing to boost the most racist propaganda when he thought it served his political career and still does. Nobody should take Vance seriously when he briefly switches it up and tries to sound like he is against exactly the kind of poison he opportunistically spreads.

Russian jet-powered Shaheds target Kyiv along the Belarus border so their LTE modems can connect to Belarusian cell towers for control, according to Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhii Flesh.

STATEMENT | The E1 settlement plan is a red line even for Israel’s closest allies. Will they defend the red lines they themselves have drawn and take concrete action?

A Russian drone just came down between residential buildings in Kyiv's Obolon district, Kyiv Mayor Klitschko says. Floors two through five of a nearby 12-storey building caught fire. Ninth air raid alert of the day, with up to 8 injured in today's strikes across the city.

Radar recap of storms last night in San Antonio. Brighter whites on velocity (right) is where the core of the damaging winds occurred. At 2000 feet radar was estimating 85 mph winds. At the surface, winds of 55-65 mph were measured, and damage indicated 75 mph gusts were likely.

[Thierry Breton @ThierryBreton]

Meta to pay a mega $17 billion settlement to 47 US States — to enforce measures already covered by the 🇪🇺 DSA.

Which got me a US visa ban, as the DSA “mastermind.”

So now @realDonaldTrump — are the 47 States’ attorneys general censors too?

Should they seek asylum in the EU?

[toomas hendrik ilves @IlvesToomas]

Read this please. The US sanctions a former EU commissioner for an EU policy but it turns out states' policy is the same and Meta has to pay 17 Billion to the states.

Exactly 26 years ago, we witnessed one of the greatest overtakes in history

Mika Häkkinen overtook Michael Schumacher by taking advantage of the fact that Ricardo Zonta was being lapped

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I am grateful to Argentina, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Council of Europe, Czechia, Ecuador, European Union, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Thailand, Türkiye, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, and Vietnam for keeping Ukraine in the focus of global attention. Every gesture of support matters. We appreciate that on the 35th anniversary of the restoration of our country’s independence, you were thinking of Ukraine and Ukrainians.

[Bad Baltic @BadBalticTakes]

The bag is made by ErichKrause, a manufacturer of office supplies.

Despite the name, it is a Russian company that just picked the name of a real German artist and used his memory as their brand despite no connection.

They have a hub in Latvia, although their main presence is still in Russia.

Charlot, the largest school and office supply shop in the Baltics, should know better than to sell this bullshit here.

Crimea is Ukraine.

🦔Delta's CEO said AI will boost profits by 50% by setting a different ticket price for every passenger in real time. The airline uses an AI system called Fetcherr that generates a unique price for each shopping request. Delta told Congress last year it was not using personal data for individualized pricing. Its investor presentation described building toward offers for "you, the individual." Airlines are exempt from FTC pricing oversight.

My Take
This is what AI does for a company like Delta. It doesn't make your flight better or your bag show up faster. It watches how you shop and figures out the most you'll pay before you close the tab. Consumer Reports found Uber and Lyft charging 42% different prices for the same ride at the same time, and the House Oversight Committee found one case where two people got quoted $76 and $24 for the same trip. Delta is building the airline version of that, and every carrier will follow because the economics are too good to pass up.

Walmart told us this week that families are choosing between gas and groceries at $4 a gallon. Delta's answer to those same families is an algorithm that squeezes them for every dollar they have left. Airlines are exempt from FTC pricing rules, state laws are preempted by federal deregulation, and the CEO told Congress one thing while telling investors another. When people ask me where the trillions going into AI actually end up, I think Delta just gave us one of the most honest answers we've gotten.

LMAO. Hunter Biden just destroyed Donald Trump.

“My dad at 81 years old secretly got on a military aircraft, went to Ukraine, took a train for 16 hours to Kyiv as the first President of the United States to go into an active war zone. Donald Trump fits his fat ass into a food cart truck and brings his work wife with him instead of the guy that carries the nuclear codes."

This was the most interesting part of Carney's appearance this morning.
Asked what changes the Americans made that were unacceptable, he gave a clear and direct answer with concrete examples.
This was not a deal any PM should have signed with those auto tariffs on trucks.

With the way traffic has piled up on I-35 I am extremely pro-train.

Here’s why:
- trains are cool. Ask any 5-year old.
- traffic is lame
- people can’t drive good
- watching YouTube is more fun than reading bumper stickers
- I-35 will never not be under construction

[Kyle Vansice @KyleVansice]

A colleague on our team lives in far north Austin and recently switched from Mopac to commuter rail… he said his commute time has been cut in half and he’s much less stressed in the mornings / evenings.

The people deserve freedom and options!
