iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I’m so conflicted because I want to read the story and know what happens and I like the plot, but it’s literally just hard to read for me. I end up re-reading pages a lot because I zone out.

I’m going to say something controversial. I’m not super obsessed with Dungeon Crawler Carl. Like it’s good but there is always WAY TOO MUCH going on and it’s all made up things so it’s honestly hard to follow. It feels like a chore but I want to finish it.

Again, I literally beg any journalist writing about immigration to learn something. "H-1B visas are meant for high-skilled jobs that are difficult to find American workers to fill." No they aren't! That isn't a requirement of an H-1B! It is for the green card but not H-1B. apnews.com/article/h1b-...

The Trump administration is suspending tech giant Microsoft from a program to apply for green cards for workers who come to the U.S. to live and work using H-1B visas, accusing the company of fraud.

For over 20 years, civilians in Afghanistan risked their lives to help us. The bipartisan Special Immigrant Visa program was a promise & a recognition of their service. By dismantling this program, Trump is breaking that promise & sending many of these allies back into harm's way.

Democrats accuse Trump of stranding over 155,000 Afghans who aided the U.S.

A spokesperson defended the Trump administration's visa ban for Afghans, saying it’s “long past time to move past” the conflict and “look ahead to the future.”

And there it is. Essentially prohibiting international students from working in the US post-graduation. A $70k fee on a university for them to request OPT authorization for a student. $30k for a subsequent request. public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-20660.pdf

Trump admin's new rule adding prohibitively expensive new fees for "OPT"—temporary work authorization program for international students and new grads in the United States—is out. Would require colleges to pay $70,000 for year one. $30,000 for years two and three combined for STEM fields.

I am so happy my friend was brave enough to file for divorce against her POS husband. He now is charged with a felony and misdemeanor and with that she was able to get the TRO that a judge previously denied.

2. The fact that doctors cannot participate without losing their license means that less qualified people do. And you end up with what happened here. Pharma companies do not want their medication used for this so the inventory they have sits and gets old and then doesn’t work. It’s literal torture.

1. Yes I think there are certain people that have done things so horrific that can’t be forgiven and probably shouldn’t be in this world. But a society should not have the power to sentence them to death. The risk of executing an innocent outweighs the need to execute.

Household debt at a record high. Student loan defaults at a record high. Credit card debt at a near record high. Meanwhile, corporate profits are the highest they’ve ever been. CEOs are paid 325x more than their typical workers. U.S. billionaire wealth is up 30% in a year. It's unsustainable.

I just paid $176 round trip to be able to sit with my son on an 8 hour flight to/from Europe and I was fucking incensed. I’m traveling with a 4 yr old and choosing a seat, any seat, cost $44 each. Not a premium seat just any old seat. If I didn’t, we’d be seated separately.

She has to wait for him to get served with a warrant for child endangerment (soon, but still 4 weeks after the incident) which comes with automatic TRO. She had to get an ex parte temp custody order which keeps him away from the kids, but not her if she's home alone. I AM FUMING.

She's already served him with divorce papers, which is probably going to trigger him even more.

I'm making sure she gets a Ring camera, taser, pepper spray, locks changed once she can get a TRO, etc. His dad is a former cop so I'm sure he thinks nothing bad will ever happen to him. It makes me so fucking furious. This is how women die. All the time.
