Sharing something my wife sucked me into that is actually very cool and can help families on tight budgets.

This pic of groceries is all from an app that was developed to avoid food loss and waste, called Too good to go. It’s two bags worth, one prepared food bag, 7.99 and one bakery bag for $5.99 from our local grocery store. Where else can you get all this for $14 + tax?

How it works - you select your neighborhood stores or restaurants and type of item or grocery bag offered in the app at selected times. Then compete to secure the purchase with everyone else on the app for that same store and item or grocery bag. First and fastest to secure the payment in the app at the scheduled time wins. Prices for the bags we’ve purchased range from $4.99 - $10.99 max.

Caveat, you don’t know what is actually in the bag other than the type of grocery items (i.e., Meat bag, Dry groceries, Bakery bag, Seafood bag, Produce bag, Prepared foods, etc.) Also, perishable items will have an expiration date within the next 2-3 days. One thing we don’t eat that is commonly included is anything Tuna fish. 😀 Not worth the risk.

However, on average our experience with the selection of stores, restaurants, and goods has been good, if not great. Lastly, in general, the pickup times are at the end of the day, usually between 7pm and 9pm, not optimal for many people, but you can invite friends on the app to pickup the items for you.

Some stores we frequent available in the app include H-E-B, Whole Foods, Balanced Foods, La Madeleine, local BBQ restaurant, etc.

Hope this helps some folks and may the odds be ever in your favor.

Dude, you’re all hat and no cattle. You tell people what they want to hear and walk away. Example being property tax relief. Placate the people while continuing to stuff tax coffers. You had your chance and sold us out, overselling our natural resources while rolling out the tax abatements and sticking Texans with the bills. I’ll write someone in rather than vote for you.

Well worth your time to listen to Ms. Perlroth’s podcast about today’s cybersecurity threat landscape. I’ve listened to season 1 multiple times as they’re packed with details. Her episode with Anthropic’s Mythos model is a good example.

A few months ago, I flew to Ohio to knock on the door of an American hosting laptops for North Korea. I didn’t expect much. But to my surprise, she told me everything: how DPRK operatives found her, what they asked her to do, how much they paid, and whether she ever questioned the work.

She is one of an estimated 75–200 Americans serving as “laptop farmers”- people recruited to host corporate laptops in their homes so North Korean IT workers can appear to be logging in from the United States.

Balanced thread with a good video on tracking down GPS blocking if you outlast the ads.

[Scott Tilley 🇺🇦 🇨🇦 @coastal8049]

Something is interfering with GPS, but “we found you” is not earned yet. EKS is plausible, but active classified NRO HEO/SDS objects occupy similar geometry and appear omitted. The NRO is not above spectrum abuse. Without direct RF custody, this remains theory, not attribution.

Why the previous repost is necessary. In what world does it make sense to put public laws behind a paywall. As the saying goes, democracy dies in the dark.

New paper: every law in America is technically public. But not really, until now!

With @DenisPeskoff at UC Berkeley, we built a corpus of ~every publicly accessibly city and county law, and released a huge chunk of it!

2.2 million laws, you're (probably) covered in it!

I didn’t know Anne Murray did a rendition of this song, but it’s sexy as hell especially when you add David Sanborn sax on top of that voice.

Do people realize that the ~33 senators up for election in the midterms will be the ones to either fix Social Security or allow everyone on SS to take a mandatory ~24% cut in benefits? Per the Committee for Responsible Federal Budget, this equates to an average $400-500 monthly benefit cut. The last time there was meaningful SS reform in SS was 1983?

I haven’t heard any of the candidates discussing this topic. They only attack one another, people need to wake up, get engaged and start asking questions.

The S&P 500’s current Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio varies depending on the exact methodology (trailing, forward, or cyclically adjusted). Here are the most recent figures as of mid-May 2026:

Key Variants:
• Trailing P/E (most common “current” P/E): Uses reported earnings over the past 12 months.
• ~26.4–32.0 (sources differ slightly by update timing).
• https://t.co/jaU1PUeBWW: 32.04 (as of May 13 close)
• WSJ: 26.40 (trailing 12 months, recent data)
• GuruFocus: ~26.7 (as of May 12)
• Forward P/E: Uses expected future earnings (next 12 months).
• ~21–22.7.
• Example: ~22.68 or 20.98 in recent updates
• Shiller P/E (CAPE – Cyclically Adjusted): Uses average inflation-adjusted earnings over the past 10 years (more stable for long-term valuation).
• ~39–42.
• https://t.co/jaU1PUeBWW: ~42.3
• Other sources: ~39.5–39.7

Texas gas prices have jumped quickly the last few days. However, if you thought the lowest grade gas would be the cheapest, you would be wrong. 14 cents cheaper for higher octane 89 vs 87 gas. The sign in front also showed 1 cent cheaper @4.19 vs 4.20 at the pump. Watch the pump!
