I used Microsoft products at work for about 35 years, and used them on my home computers as well. Over time, their stuff got bloated and somehow less intuitive. The constant need to upgrade hardware was annoying. When I retired, I switched at home to Linux. Two computers, reliable, no fuss.

note who in the media is trying to make a story out of out-of-context comments by barack obama (who hasn't been president in 10 years) instead of much-more-offensive, in-context comments by donald trump, who is president. they like trump and want to help him
Contrast that with the Obama clips from yesterday. It’s such an obvious “good vs evil” situation and yet we failed a very similar test 2 years ago….

thinking fondly again of the college girl at the donut place, who made a little muslim boy bounce giddily out the door after she told him his donut was free, and who waved me away and said "you're good" when it was my turn to pay and then, when asked if there was a deal that day said "i hate my job"

How did you find out the young man’s identity, @wsj.com? hmm?
A young man asked Abdul-El Sayed if he would disavow the Muslim Brotherhood. The tense exchange has turned into a highlight for the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan. Here’s what happened.

The political media is letting Trump and his stooges spread contemptible and inflammatory lies about Democrats without ANY fact-based pushback. Have you seen a single article that says "No, in fact XXX is not a communist?"(Yes, I've been sayin this for a while.) presswatchers.org/2026/07/trum...

the other thing is that conservatives resolutely do not see the purpose of education as providing social mobility but as reifying and deepening existing inequalities of status. they are as hostile to low income students getting admission to elite institutions as they are black ones.

"Democracy dies unless Maggie Haberman has access to senior Trump aides and McConnell/Romney Republicans respect us" is essentially the argument Times editors have been making since 2018. I can't tell if they actually believe that or it's a pretext for their decision not to change their approach.
This morning I re-watched my video argument with the NY Times' Patrick Healy, and it's clear that the Times believes if it says explicity that the Trump regime is assaulting democracy, that would undermine its work to investigate how the regime is assaulting democracy. What an absurd position.

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence. In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home. (Published Dec. 2025)

Could not be more pleased to share the culmination of my "sturgeon project" out today in Nature! www.nature.com/articles/s41... I and my co-authors estimate neck mobility in some of the first vertebrates on the road to conquering life on land. We found that the necks were surprisingly stiff!

Rep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.
