Watching the #Kaw all day via this #USGS stream monitoring station. You can hover over the timeline and watch the images change. Try it for just today! Also watching tornados in west-central KS. Getting a #hurricane's remains is fun in #Kansas! waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-l...

Oh gawd. Bill effin Gates is on #MeetThePress calling #AI a "new species." Shameless Epstein billionaire POS. No pushback, of course.

My car stopped working so I had it towed to the shop. Chewed wiring to the throttle! Oops. I forgot that #packrats / #woodrats are a thing at my parents' rural house, and I WFH, so barely drive my car. Now I need to figure out how to prevent this issue. BUT I am so *not* a

ech Giants Warn of AI Cybersecurity Apocalypse

Following a seemingly endless parade of rogue AI agent hacking incidents, OpenAI, Anthopic, and more than 100 companies have cosigned a letter saying that everyone else has mere months to prepare for AI-enabled cyberattacks.

The letter calls for a “collective response,” suggests that every organization should make cyber defense an “immediate leadership priority,” and calls on governments to give hospitals, water utilities, and local governments access to capable defensive AI, as well as to “impose costs” on attackers.

Axios notes that the letter doesn’t include any specific commitments, deadlines, or investments. Good luck!

Wow. Great news, but it's going to get... interesting. Probably get overturned by the #SupremacistCourt, and add fuel to the #MOLeg fire for wiping out #Citizen-ledDemocracy. I'm seeing "reforms" to the MO SC incoming, too. Keep fighting the good fight, people of #Missouri!

I hope the #MissouriLegislature feels ashamed of itself for pulling funding so soon after #Parsons launched MO as first-in-nation to fully fund the statewide program in 2024. I hope they also find ways to fully fund all of ed in MO. I think we also know these arses have no shame.

Trapped a #northernpaperwasp that insisted on coming into my room 2 days in a row and flying at me. 1st day let it go outside. 2nd day figured I may be setting up a pattern, so kept it trapped. Consumed by guilt! How do I atone? (Last wasp sting > mild serum sickness, so am scared, yes.)

I agree, and it's insane we let someone profit off the externalities create, then make *us* live with and pay for. Down with *any* industry that can't make a go of it if it has to deal with its own pollution! I mean, come ON! Why do we let this b.s. be the norm in the U.S?

Funny. We just *always* kept our physical media, mostly records, made our own digital files from them, and maintained our own server for personal use, even remotely. Never ever switched to a streaming service. We have a huge collection, & never needed a streaming subscription for breadth & depth.

For those who want to know more about the heretics down the road here in #Kansas. (Is that the right word? Not Catholic, and official news releases from the Vatican are hard for me to parse.) But yeah, the adherents don't seem great. St. Mary's was a hive of militias in the '90s, I remember.

Meanwhile, in #KansasCity citizens have *no* control, no say, no oversight over this occupying force, nominally called the "city police," yet must pay for that dept's bad, bad, bad behavior. Can't catch actual criminals even when they are already dead (see I70 shooter) but harass/kill everyone else.

Does Kansas City’s 2026-27 budget increase the amount allocated to settling police-related lawsuits?

The Kansas City Council approved $6.5 million for lawsuit settlements against police in its 2026-27 budget.

Anyone else grow up in a town with a #NewDeal era band shell in the park? My area of #Kansas had so many wonderful public pieces of infrastructure thanks to the various building programs. I'm feeling nostalgic for them all. Beautiful work, that I guess was only ~50 years old at the time!
