- Breaking News: President Trump plans to accept a luxury Boeing 747 from Qatar that he will use as Air Force One and will keep using after he leaves office. The plan — involving possibly the biggest foreign gift ever received by the U.S. government — raises substantial ethical issues.

- Just had our AC tuneup early because tariffs and... the capacitor was starting to fail. It's a little on the early side for AC maintenance but probably worth doing before possible parts shortages this year.

- Trump on possibly using the Insurrection Act to send troops to the border: "We have a country that is under siege. We have a country that really is under attack. In many ways worse than under attack because there are no uniforms. You don't know who the attacker is."
- Indeed, we're under attack by ICE gangs with no uniforms, no warrants, no limitations, no intentions to follow the law.

- Having spent a few decades in tech and having worked next to a bucket of these dudes, I wish I'd found more clever ways to counter their self-indulgent beliefs.
