So this morning did not start off well.

I think Dax (my dog) might still have health issues.

2 weeks ago he started urinating unexpectedly. We took him to the vet where antibiotics and anti-inflammatories were prescribed.

Things seemed to be getting better, but yesterday I noticed that he had to go potty sooner then usual, and this morning, he woke me up an hour early to go out.

Now I'm a stress ball. What if it isn't an infection? What if it's something worse like cancer?

FUUUUUCK!

Owning a powerful media enterprise is a civic responsibility. What a tragedy Rupert Murdoch—in his hunger for money and power—failed to grasp that.

The Scared Boys are afraid of people dressing in drag, but we’re supposed to be cool when they dress up like Army men carrying AR-15’s on our streets?

Last night the 11yo broke down the Google Slides middle school Chatroom for me:

1. At first they used a Google doc but the infinite scroll was too chaotic
2. In the slide deck each new slide is one “post”—some all text, some images, some both—
3. They use slides’ comments feature to “reply” to each other’s “posts”
4. This allows participants to easily flip between posts using the slide thumbnail navigation, so they can find the conversations they care about easily
5. He owns the file & if anyone spams it, deletes other people’s posts, or gets nasty, he can revert the file to its previous save state & remove the spammer’s access
6. He did share the file with me on purpose, I think because he was proud & wanted me to see what he’d made

Essentially they’ve created a chatroom with moderation in Google Slides, so they can get around the school’s ban on platforms like Discord. It’s kind of brilliant

This video shows why it does: youtube.com/watch?v=xwA4k0E51O

The FCC is asking for comments on their rules to keep local stations truly local.

You're not imagining it: many of the most powerful and visible people in tech have been radicalized into an extremist world view that is unfathomable even in other major industries. The impacts have already been awful, and promise to get worse. anildash.com/2023/02/27/tycoon

So, I wrote about *that* mask study. We need to stop giving so much air to bad faith actors. Their goal is to exhaust us and numb us into losing empathy and giving up. Masks protect ourselves and our communities. Let’s put that science into action.
