Blather, wince, repeat.

My wife just discovered entirely by accident that there's a new government thing businesses have to register with: https://www.fincen.gov/news/news-releases/us-beneficial-ownership-information-registry-now-accepting-reports

Seems to apply even to tiny businesses that make no money selling books such as https://www.skaeth.com. 😛

Looks like if you have a corp or LLC you're going to have to register for it before the end of the year and there's fines or something if you don't?

Kind of ridiculous she only discovered it by accident. Shouldn't they have at least mailed something?

From eating rocks to putting glue on pizza, Google’s AI Overviews has given us a good laugh and plenty of memes over the past week, thanks to the many hilariously inaccurate answers it has given to several search queries.

However, these clearly wrong answers are not the problem we should be focusing on, argues @FastCompany. “It’s the errors that don’t call attention to their ridiculous selves that could do the most damage to Google Search and everyone who relies on it.” Here’s more.

"Slack needs your permission to send you notifications"

No, slack doesn't need permission. Slack doesn't need to send me jack or shit.

Law Dork - https://www.lawdork.com/p/washington-post-bombshell-washington - In a series of paragraphs that are up there as being among the most shocking I have read in my journalistic career, #WashingtonPost acknowledged on Saturday they hid #Alito article for 3 yrs and dropped it in the middle this holiday week, more than a week after NYT report, that they had known about the flag since at least January 20, 2021, and had not revealed knowledge of it until May 25, 2024. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/25/alito-flag-martha-ann-washington-post/?_pml=1 complicit #insurrection #democracy #MAGA

My father-in-law had a never-opened, 48-year-old GE radio in his garage. No pairing, no logins, no setup. It just works.

The elusive good night sleep. 😴

I get one of these once every 3 months, maybe?

I shall compound my interest and make today a rest day. Onward to binging Netflix.

The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner

52% into this novel and I am struggling 😅 but I am not at the same time. I just need someone to stop describing EVERYTHING

Was it necessary to describe how to do a google search on a phone? 😒😒😒 #book #books #bookstodon @bookstodon

So my sewer pipe (which has been an endless source of fun, let me tell you), runs through the power company's land and whoever cut their grass the other day was clearly daydreaming and mowed right over the pipe AND the bright orange fiberglass stick that was marking its location.

👍🏻 Via Kyle Griffin:

Rep. Jamie Raskin & Sen. Richard Blumenthal have intro’d legislation to enforce the Constitution's explicit language banning foreign #emoluments by prohibiting the President, VP, Cabinet officials and Members of Congress from accepting payments from foreign governments without first obtaining the consent of Congress.

Officials would be prohibited from accepting foreign payments without Congressional approval during the entire time in office and for two years after leaving.

I used to babysit a lot, and I was kind of famous for getting kids to try foods they normally wouldn't. I was never pushy about it, just included them in the shopping/harvesting/cooking process, and asked them to try a little bite of everything, and to remember that your tastebuds change as you age, so keep on trying stuff.

This backfired on me occasionally though. Once as an adventure, we went to a Japanese restaurant, and I ordered the kiddos some Katsu (who doesn't love something fried with dippy sauce), and got myself a plate of sushi rolls and sashimi. Well, since I always asked them to try one bite of something new, they looked at me expectantly, so I let them try a bit of each. Turns out they were all in for sushi, and those little nerds ate most of my plate, and then they always wanted to go. Kids, I don't have sushi money every day!
