I have been stuck. Every time I sit down to write a blog post, code a feature, or start a project, I come to the same realization: in the context of AI, what I’m doing is a waste of time. It’s horrifying. The fun has been sucked out of the process...Dustin Curtis on Svbtle
Tomorrow will mark the anniversary of my mum passing last year.
She loved the spring garden and azaleas and rhododendrons in particular.
Her garden (which used to be my garden) is full of rare and unusual double flowered azaleas and rhododendrons.
She also loved acers & has some amazing ones too.
I will always remember my mum for the absolute joy she had whenever this month came around.
One of the final things she asked me was to show her photos of the garden.
Love you forever mam xxx

In the last 40 years the only party that cut the deficit is the Democrats. That's true whether you believe it or not. Raise taxes on the top and the math "magically" works, but Republicans want to give the top more tax cuts.
This bill also removes a $200 tax on gun silencers that has been in effect since 1932.
Your gun silencer is cheaper but you lose Medicaid. How nice. Priorities.

⚖️ Montana just became the first U.S. state to ban law enforcement from purchasing personal data from brokers — and it’s a privacy milestone 🚫📱
Under this new law:
📍 Government agencies can’t buy sensitive data (location, biometrics, etc.) without a warrant
🔍 It closes a major loophole used to sidestep Fourth Amendment protections
📄 Agencies also can’t require people to waive rights through service terms
🧱 It sets a precedent for digital due process in a data-saturated world
This isn’t just a state law. It’s a model for what digital civil liberties legislation should look like nationwide.

#Trump didn’t make the numerous #trade deals he promised were in the works. Instead he says the US will send "letters" w/ #tariffs.
In reality he made 2 deals. 1 w/ %Britain which is not legally binding. The other w/ #China which is just a deal to keep talking.
Trump claimed Friday that the #US will set tariff rates for its trading partners within the next few weeks. He claimed his admin cannot negotiate trade deals w/ all countries at once because there are so many.

Trump Says US Will Set Tariff Rates for Other Nations in Weeks
President Donald Trump said he would set tariff rates for US trading partners “over the next two to three weeks,” saying his administration lacks the capacity to negotiate deals with all of its trading partners.Jennifer A Dlouhy (Bloomberg)
“I think we’re going to be very fair. But it’s not possible to meet the number of people that want to see us,” #Trump said during a meeting w/ business executives in the UAE.
Trump said #Treasury Secy #ScottBessent & #Commerce Secy #HowardLutnick “will be sending letters out essentially telling people” what “they’ll be paying to do business in the United States.”
The #US & #China paused most #tariffs for 90 days & sent markets into temporary & misguided euphoria on Monday, after last week's announced #trade deal w/ the #UK.
China’s state-backed Global Times said Friday the 90-day US tariff truce is too short & should be extended. Analysts say China seeks flexibility, as tariffs may return after the truce.
*Talks* continue in #SouthKorea, but #Trump's tariffs are likely to stay high beyond the 90-day pause.
So, where I would slightly finesse this is the thing about 'midterm unpopularity' is: it is important to ask yourself 'why are you unpopular, and why will it be better at the end of the parliament?' It's very rare that a government is well-positioned to be popular in midterm *and* at the end.
