Woke up to more news about another bridge in Kyiv getting hit. I don’t know what to say at this point. They do this to scare us and make us all flee, but it’s hard not to give in to the fear when your city is falling apart around you. It’s only early October. ☹️

McDonald's is now reportedly pressuring franchisees to use AI to price food. Its CEO raked in $20.6M last year, over 1,000x the median McDonald's worker pay of $19,020. And they remain one of the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients. I'm not lovin' it.
