Transcendental meditation has been a rich people/Hollywood woo-woo thing for decades. I'd put it in the harmless but off beat practices like hot yoga and juice cleansing.

I don't disagree with you. He owns a shitton of cars, dated a 17yo when he was 39yo, and has the privilege to frequently shrug at real life issues and pretend to be a passive human being while hiding away in his wealth and luxury.

I saw this comment and strongly agreed

Charlie Kirk built his brand on division, outrage, and fear, especially around guns, race, gender, and “culture war” politics. He’s spent years telling his audience that mass shootings are just the “cost of liberty,” that gun deaths are “worth it,” and that armed citizens are the solution, not the problem.

But today, that rhetoric came full circle.

No one deserves violence, not children in schools, not worshipers in churches, not innocent people in public spaces, and not even those who have spent years justifying it.

But we can’t ignore the boomerang effect of spreading hate, radicalizing followers, and shrugging off preventable deaths as a political tradeoff. When you pour gasoline on the fire of American extremism, it eventually burns everything, including those who lit the match.

Kirk once said gun violence is “part of liberty.” Today, he’s living the consequences of the world he helped shape.

Words matter. Hate has consequences. And the truth is, you can only normalize violence for so long before it finds its way back to you.

Well damn that made me spit my coffee.

 
 

I work downtown. I personally take the bus to work and walk.

While getting feedback from our paid intern's experience, one complained about having to pay for parking.

Because I naturally always support the interns, I pushed for that perk. Why shouldn't they get all the help they need? They're young, they have a busy life and they're trying their best.

But my coworker (who drives) said, "Theres street parking and they are complaining they have to walk 14 minutes over."

Now my internal "Fuck Cars" position is battling with my "Give the Interns everything".

I'm not the deciding factor. Just wanted to share this.

 

Summary

Alan Filion, an 18-year-old from California, was sentenced to four years in federal prison for orchestrating 375 swatting incidents between August 2022 and January 2024. Operating under various aliases, Filion charged clients for making false emergency calls that prompted significant police responses. His hoaxes included threats of school shootings and bombings, targeting institutions across the U.S., U.K., and Canada. Despite being questioned by the FBI in July 2023, he continued his activities until his arrest in January 2024, where he pled guilty to multiple charges.

 

A project called "Remove-DEI" shows the tweaks used to remove "forbidden words" from a database about childhood school readiness.

The updates, shown in Github commits, are to a database for the Department of Health and Human Services’ Head Start program. They show a project called “Remove-DEI,” which reveal some of the back-and-forth that is happening behind the scenes to align federal agencies with Donald Trump’s executive orders that forbid almost anything having to do with race or gender within federal agencies. The Github pages show software engineers discussing amongst themselves how to best remove all instances of “forbidden words” from a specific database, and the code updates they used to do it. The changes also show that, while thousands of government datasets are disappearing from the internet, even ones that remain are having parts of their utility deprecated or broken in a way that may not be visible to those outside the government.
