To be clear, RFK is not interested in healthy foods. He profits from fearmongering about safe, affordable foods.

Analysts seem disappointed reception was "lukewarm" as post IPO price didn't pop to reward IPO insiders. So the IPO was priced fairly. Congratulations. What am I missing?

The Politicization of Everything now includes milk.
I will take mine pasteurized, thank you…
I cancelled my Netflix subscription (temporarily) after it’s recent rate hike. However, new series are starting to arrive that will force me to renew eventually. To date: Arcane, Squid Game. The release of Three Body Problem S2 will be the clincher.
I no longer look to the US justice system for anything bigger than locking up routine petty offenders for excessively long periods of time.
Nostr is where Bitcoin Maxis talk about Bitcoin NGU. Not nothing, but there’s not much else to talk about.
To be clear a Chinese flagged and owned ship severed communications cables between Germany-Finland and Sweden-Lithuania. The CCP is directly committing acts of economic sabotage against Europe. There must be consequences.
Self disclosure: I use an MacBook Pro for work and an iPhone and iPad for personal use. I also regularly use a cheap Android tablet and 2 PCs running Windows and Ubuntu 24.04.

And just like that, my iPhone was upgraded from iOS 17 to 18.1.1. And Apple Intelligence is… missing. Oh yeah, my iPhone 15 Plus isn’t supported.
My iPad is supported, and come to think of it, I haven’t tested any Apple Intelligence yet. Does it even do anything useful yet?
London Grammar scored again with their August 2024 release of The Greatest Love. 
Let’s stop arguing whether #AI is good or bad.
AI exists. Today, tomorrow, and in 10 years. Let’s deal with it.
AI is a tool that enables the creation of new value networks and disrupt old ones. Let’s celebrate it.
Like all tools, generative AI can and will be abused. Let’s manage it.
I just realized my new iPad Air has no headphone jack.
Wow, that took me only three months.
One of the problems with countering #disinformation #misinformation and #pseudoscience is the asymmetry. It’s much easier to make up and propagate false claims than to refute them. And there are a lot more of them out there doing it.
The protection of personal privacy has always been an uphill battle. The new MAGA Party authoritarians have no intention of leveling the playing field on our behalf.
The risks of a nuclear accident in Ukraine due to Russia’s destabilization of the power grid is non-trivial. Yet the Biden administration remains as silent as ever.
