Microsoft just admitted that the thing that gave me the most grief in Teams, the transferring of at least some Skype contacts to it (or creation of equivalent ones) simply doesn't work yet and is supposed to start working at some point of time in the future.
Thanks, Microsoft, for wasting 2 weeks of my life.
Ryleigh Cooper was fired by the US Forest Service.
Jennifer Piggott was fired by the Treasury Department.
They voted for Donald.
They deserve every second of this.
The takeaway here is that if you’re over the age of 30, you’re basically dumb as a lead pipe.

This the same crowd that was trying to kill electric cars 5 months ago and are now shilling for Tesla. There are also the crowd vehemently to government handouts and Tesla would not exist without major Federal and State incentives for EVs and subsidies to build their factories.
The GOP is just short for Grifting Old People.
What does this remind you of?

Watch out for these toll scams - they're popular lately. Two things:
1) Look at the URL carefully - it's bogus
2) Look at the weird instructions. This is to get around Apple's protections. If you haven't interacted with someone ever before, links won't be clickable.
And of course besides other signs, there is the classic scam tactic of making it seem urgent; in this case at threat of unspecified "legal action".
It's not going to be true in every case, of course; but far more often than not, the more urgent a message (or other communications) makes something seem, the more likely that message is to be a scam.
Quickening slowly
The winter turns brown to green

Doomers, STFU.
I need a break.
I'm with you.
I do not give a fuck if someone knew from the beginning that something was not going to work.
I do not give a fuck if you already know that some legal/political/social action will not work.
I do not give a fuck so please do not tell me.
If you know something that's *better*, please tell me. I'll help spread it.
If there's something that *you're* trying, please tell me, and I'll join you.
And if you're in despair, share that, and we can comfort each other.
@jztusk My standard response to folks saying that a particular approach or tactic is useless (or harmful) is to tell them they are free to join some group using an approach or tactic that they prefer - or maybe organize such a group themselves.
It’s kind of a joke because I strongly suspect that those pearl-clutchers aren’t doing anything whatsoever.

#USBudget #USCongress #Resist #USSenate
This message should go to your Senators regarding the budget #ContinuingResolution. You will need to copy and paste it into the forms on their websites.
The House passed a stop-gap bill Tuesday to fund the government through September and the Senate must vote on it. The House has gone into recess to force the Senate to accept the bill with no changes.
Dear Senator --
For months Republicans have talked about how they were going to fund their legislative priorities, but here we are again, facing another Continuing Resolution.
In your negotiations in the Senate, constantly remind everyone that the Constitution Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7 gives the power of the purse to Congress, not the President. The President has no legitimate authority for meddling in the appropriations process.
The Continuing Resolution must include language forbidding the Executive Branch and DOGE from usurping budgetary power from Congress.
Stand firm in your efforts.

Today's example of overthinking occurred when a tradesperson who is working on the house next door was sat in his van outside my house. Illogically, his presence stopped me from charging my phone (the socket is near the window) and from bringing the bins back in. This was because I didn't want him to think that I was spying on him (I wasn't!).
I would say that this made me a prisoner in my own home, but it was more of a case of being imprisoned by my own mind...again 🧠
