Ugh. Who schedules a meeting first thing of the day? Blech. News will be delayed as a result.

I had a boss who said no morning meetings, so he called the 9:30 one a "workshop"

Didn't mind getting laid off from someone we nicknamed "Youssuck Shithead" (you can try to figure out his real name)

Oh, OUCH. He must have been bad! 

I don't mind meetings after 9:30, but before then I need time to figure out what is going on that day and what needs to be my priority. I try to figure that out the day before, but there are always last minute adjustments. I had two meetings back to back, so I'm just now getting ready to do MY work.

We have "core" hours for meetings. 10:00 to 3:00.

The manufacturing people are in house 6:00 to 3:00. Engineering folks are more flexible with schedule.

We know this, but it's good to have it laid out clearly: 

City Journal investigated the group behind many of the signal chats in Minneapolis and found one group, created on Dec. 1, 2025, that manages a "massive network" of signal chats dedicated to monitoring and protesting ICE. “Defend 612" is the beating heart of the city’s resistance to federal immigration enforcement," reports the Journal. (The group’s name refers to the Minneapolis area code.)

Quoting directly from the Journal article: 

In other Signal groups, members discuss how best to disrupt federal immigration enforcement. Members encouraged other participants to memorize the hotline of the National Lawyers Guild—“the nation’s oldest and largest progressive bar association”—for free legal services. One participant described getting arrested as a tool to divert agents from “vulnerable community members,” and encouraged other participants “to be super annoying and waste” law enforcement’s “time and resources.”

Members repeatedly referenced the “Simple Sabotage Field Manual,” an activist handbook that members used to generate ways to impede ICE. Members discussed throwing urine at agents, praising one such incident as “mvp” behavior. A daily update account called “The Report Card” encouraged participants to “annoy” agents with constant noise. They view “noise making and interrupting their meals and bathroom breaks” as essential, noting these tactics “serve a critical role in draining their morale.”


More groups are listed in this article that are training folks on obstruction tactics and street tactics. And who is funding all this delightful action? Would you be surprised at all if I said Arabella Advisors? Yeah, I didn't think so. But they have renamed themselves so they aren't 'as recognizable. Their new name is Sunflower Services. It's the same group, just with a new name. 


Kudos to Rick Moran at PJ Media for laying this all out.

Did Bill Gates put any pressure on the DOJ to not release Epstein files? I'm assuming he did, based on this: The Worldwide Humiliation of Bill Gates: From Tech God to Global Embarrassment

A program is trying to make the path to homeownership easier whereby "a portion of rent payments would go towards a down payment if the tenant should choose to purchase the home after three years." The builder is creating new entry-level homes, but I'm wondering if their definition of "entry level" comports with those of us who lived before the home ownership market went nutso. 

I really wish they wouldn't label it Trump Homes, but Trump just can't help branding everything with his name. It's puerile, but it's what he does.
