This is most perfect moment to share the first lines in the script for my call center job when I was a teenager. "Hi this is Earthlink technical support, can I get your username and password, please?"

Car seat belts but you’d have to go back 70 years for their intro. I remember passengers throwing a hissy fit as recently as this century about being forced to wear them.

Don't put it off, seriously, it was a transformative trip for me. We did our best to find a balance so we spent half of the trip in Tokyo and the other half in a small island in Okinawa. And yes, the fooooood!

Wait, they killed Mr. Peanut during the super bowl? @eboninflight.bsky.social and I just discovered what we thought was an official Bartholomew Richard Fitzgerald-Smythe (aka. Mr. Peanut) costume in the rafters of a local bar. I knew I should have taken pictures.

“The Nothing is the main antagonist in The Neverending Story. It has the power to destroy Fantastica piece by piece by absorbing it, as the result of humans no longer believing in the world of fantasy…” Pictured is G'mork whose mission is to kill Atreyu the hero #fantasy #reality #story #symbolism

“G'mork is the secondary antagonist in Michael Ende's novel The Neverending Story. G'mork's primary mission is kill Atreyu the warrior, who intends to stop the Nothing from destroying Fantastica.”

As a POC I can empathize with this. NASA web pages I developed that were mandated historically significant by the National Archives disappeared a few years ago. It damages culture to erase stories of success. @drlucyrogers.bsky.social, I’m glad you have this and wish there were more.

Key points included: Implement clear protocols for when humans intervene. Use real-time monitoring systems to detect anomalies or deviations from expected behavior. Ensure systems can fail in a way that minimizes harm to users, data, and infrastructure. #ai #infosec #ml #failure #risk

We had a meteorologist in DC who also did the entertainment news. @eboninflight.bsky.social and I would write in for free show tickets each week and eventually became friends with Kyle. A personal achievement was seeing our front porch on TV during the snow report. Go meteorologists! #weather #news

@mcuban.bsky.social You have asked two very different questions with very different answers. Given the bureaucracy, 30 days is no time to make change through traditional means. One of the answers is to send a barrage of targeted media to individual decision makers. Make the message inescapable.

Craving Vietnamese summer rolls? They aren’t difficult to make, just be sure you’ve got good crunchy ingredients to complement the protein and softer components. These contain avocado, cucumber, lettuce, jicama, mint, and tofu or salmon. Prep time is 20 mins, build time is 2 minutes per. #cooking

This is an image of ingredients to make Vietnamese summer rolls. A cutting board with a knife and sliced avocado, jicama, tofu, and cucumber. A spoon is pictured on the top right. Cooked salmon and empty bowls are located to the left of the cutting board.
