A photo from last weekend's visit to Far West Fungi in Moss Landing CA. Cinnamon Caps I think. Not as pretty as your photo, but lovely nonetheless.

3-1 halftime für die Mannschaft gegen Curacao. A possession game for Germany - effective but not particularly entertaining.

Check out the trophies being handed out at a youth chess tournament at Bryant Park NYC this morning. The kids (and most were ~10 years old) looked to be having fun.

Wisconsin, what is up with you? I get Alaska, Idaho, and Utah may have low vaccination rates, but didn't expect to see Wisconsin in that that group.

Washington Post data describing vaccination in the USA and showing the Wisconsin "vaccination report card" with 93% vaccination rate pre-pandemic and 85% post-pandemic.

A magnificent Sunday on the California coast (Point Lobos State Park). Autumn is the best time to see the coast in northern California - not so much fog.

I installed the Perplexity browser Comet, and wanted to understand what they do with my information. It seems like normal stuff except for the "Third Parties in a Business Transaction". So if someone is buying Perplexity or Comet, my data is fair game?

Perplexity Comet browser privacy page "DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION". Categories include Company Group, Vendors and Service Providers, Third Party Extensions, and Third Parties in a Business Transaction (!).

Eye-opening coverage from WaPo about how sensitive citizen data is at risk - DOGE staffers are given over-permissive access to systems and and not logging their actions, which effectively covers up evidence of any actions by turning off audit logging. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

A paragraph from the Washington Post article "DOGE aims to pool federal data, putting personal information at risk" published 7 May 2025 that explains how DOGE staffers are not logging their actions and granting overpermissive privileges on sensitive computer systems.

Jen Easterly (former head of CISA) giving an amazing keynote at @cyberark.bsky.social IMPACT 2025 in Boston. AI is powerful, but can be used for malevolent purposes. With great AI power comes great responsibility.

Kudos to @liccardo.house.gov for a spicy and informative town hall in Mountain View CA today. The Republican reps may be hiding, but Sam is out there listening to his Silicon Valley constituents.

Is today's job growth report good or bad? The Washington Post and NYTimes seem to have different perspectives (NYTimes=positive, WaPo=negative).
