I am disheartened to watch @CityofNewarkNJ police flagrantly violate first amendment rights of the press covering events at a New Jersey ICE facility. @MSNOWNews @AliVelshi

@wonderofscience Here's a view directly into a Space Shuttle engine nozzle, which is on display at the Kennedy Space Center. (That's the shuttle Atlantis in the background to the left.) These machines are awe-inspiring even when they're not spewing flames.

@DamonStrong @HumansNoContext There are probably more live organists in NHL hockey than there are live goal horns.

@JakeLahut DeSantis treats the state's money as if it were his own money, and he thinks he knows better than the state's citizens, cities, and counties. The reeking stench of unaccountability and paternalism originates in Tallahassee and permeates the whole state.

@infosec_fox My desk is chaos, my office is chaos, but I know where to find stuff. I simply can't relate to defragging. As long as the OS knows where to find what it's looking for, I can relate to that.

And no, I don't want your credit card either.

No, I don't want to use your AI, will you quit pestering me about it at every turn?

Diversifying IT systems is easier said than done. The big enterprise IT mistake was failing to test the #Crowdstrike update before deploying it. And we don't know if Crowdstrike did a limited rollout before widely distributing it. @cnn @milesobrien

@marcorubio You're projecting again, Marco. Maybe you should go back to your little corner and read the Bible some more.

[A Fleeting Presence @pfmadden]

@marcorubio And what are you doing about it, other than spreading fear?

@NWSMiami The location shown as Miami is actually Fort Lauderdale. Miami is about 30 miles to the south.

I'd be happy to support @CNBC advertising if CNBC is willing to respect my privacy by not siccing trackers on me. Right now that's not the case. There's no reason not to show me generic ads if I'm unwilling to be tracked. #privacy

@DailyLoud This is a MIRACLE on par with loaves and fishes. It is PROOF that God wants us to have chocolate (even if it's white chocolate).

How dare you all question it.

@GovRonDeSantis @ALEC_states That is doublespeak, Governor. Laws that limit what can be taught in schools *reduce* freedom, not enhance it.

@thehill Musk is appearing alongside DeSantis for DeSantis' candidacy announcement. I would hardly call DeSantis fairly normal.

@ACLUFL There is a stunning lack of @ACLUFL visibility in the South Florida LGBTQ+ community as DeSantis illegally denies us our rights, including freedoms of expression and peaceful assembly, and freedom from government acts of prior restraint. Where are you @ACLU ?

@engineers_feed You sunk my battleship!

[A Fleeting Presence @pfmadden]

@thehill If signing this bill into law this isn't a conflict of interest, I don't know what is. But then again this kind of thing is to be expected in the Banana Republic of Florida.

@Evil_Mog Wait, you mean that jack doesn't have an integrated switch?
