“Here’s what my boss sleeping with my wife thought me about leadership” is a wild thing to post on LinkedIn. I’d have considered it over the top even as a parody.

Disability Rights New York has filed a class action lawsuit against Nassau County seeking an injunction to stop the enforcement of mask bans.
This is exactly the kind of action we need to see happen against discriminatory & ableist mask bans.
Law enforcement should not be the arbiter of who is “sick enough” to legally wear a mask. Many disabilities are invisible - and police are NOT doctors.
For more on the Nassau County mask ban and why it’s discriminatory - as well as why everyone (disabled or not) should be allowed to wear a mask - read my article here: disabledginger.com/p/nassau-co…

I've seen a few blind folks posting their positive experiences with the Ray-Ban Meta glasses, specifically the AI. Wanted to post a quick counterpoint.
It wasn't as useful as I'd hoped--I couldn't get it to OCR or summarize menus for example--but I was mostly happy using it for last mile visual help. "What's this piece of paper, what are the cooking instructions for this pizza, what brand are these dishwasher pods, etc."
Except a few weeks ago, Meta AI just stopped responding. I can ask it for the time but that's about it. I've connected a calling app but it refuses to call out, and of course visual/image-based help is dead too.
This issue has persisted through multiple app resets and factory resets of the glasses. AFAIK everything is updated, too.
The cherry on top is that I just pecked out a bug report using BSI on Android, and submitting that seemed to hard-lock/crash the app with no indication that the report even went through. So who the hell knows if I actually did the thing.
I'm not too upset since I have the disposable income to spare, but I'm regretting the purchase a bit now and can't really recommend them. Real bummer--I got a decent amount of use out of them when they worked but now they're just an expensive headset.
Great glad you got it sorted! Yeah it basically won’t do PII at all.
One time I tried to get it to read the CVC off the back of my credit card to pay my electric bill and it refused. That became some fairly colorful product feedback :)
Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cellular phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker function and begins to talk.
Everyone else in the room stops to listen.
MAN: "Hello"
WOMAN: "Hi Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"
MAN: "Yes."
WOMAN: "I'm at the shops now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's only $2,000; is it OK if I buy it?"
MAN: "Sure, go ahead if you like it that much."
WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Lexus dealership and saw the new models. I saw one I really liked."
MAN: "How much?"
WOMAN: "$90,000." ;
MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."
WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing... I was just talking to Janie and found out that the house I wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking $980,000 for it."
MAN: "Well, then go ahead and make an offer of $900,000. They'll probably take it. If not, we can go the extra eighty-thousand if it's what you really
want."
WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you so much!"
MAN: "Bye! I love you, too."
The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths wide open.
He turns and asks, "Anyone know whose phone this is?"

Just putting a this out there: I think $DJT is such a naked pump-and-dump scheme that (provided he doesn't win) it'll be a big part of his final downfall.
It was up 15% yesterday, on NO news, which reeks of a pump and dump. Market makers can prop up the price with a few big buys and get out, leaving naïve investors holding the bag. If that's _the plan_, that's textbook securities fraud, and a criminal conspiracy.
He can start selling his 60% stake in 4 weeks.

Autism and ADHD are NOT trendy. They're more common than we thought, and particularly manifest differently in women, so all the people that were missed as kids are connecting the dots on why certain things were so much harder for them in their lives than most people. And that lets them come up with actually effective strategies.
It's a very, very good thing that lots of adults are figuring this out. Life is much easier with proper language and connecting to other similar folks!
Completely agree with minimising swiping on the share sheet, get close to what you want and swipe from there.
Other thoughts, disable apps you don't need, try to move stuff you do need closer to the beginning of the list.
also, the problem with the item chooser is it can only choose items that are visible on the screen and the share sheet has multiple pages. Actually, that's another suggestion, touch close to the right edge then three-finger swipe to the next page.
Today in Techbros failing to understand consent:
The Microsoft overlords parachuted into management of the 5e, 5.5e and dnd brand are automatically updating character sheets made using DnDBeyond.
Just a simple tick box of "would you like to do this?" And they'd get a lot of happy compliance but, they don't get consent and won't care that you just don't change someone's character sheet without permission.
It. Is. Not. Done.
