California Culinary Academy. It was part of the Le Cordon Bleu that got sued and kicked out of North America after lawsuits. Still, ruined my life for years. I went to New Orleans for my internship and got kicked out from Katrina all in the same year. I had to pay $698 a month in loan repayments.

I was forced to resign my loan at a 17% interest rate 1 week before I graduated culinary school. They wouldn't give me my degree and said I would still owe the money if I didn't sign that paper.

Starlink restrictions deprive Ukraine of effective defence against jet-powered Shahed drones
Starlink restrictions are affecting Ukrainian interceptors used against Russian jet-powered Shahed drones, depriving Ukraine of one of its few effective defence options.

This should set off a siren in every defence ministry in Europe: there needs to be much more urgency about developing autonomous capabilities, not subject to US caprices, for early warning of attacks, countering ballistic missiles, communicating with forces or controlling offensive weapons.

1/ Russian warbloggers are applauding the Trump Administration for the apparent crippling of Starlink in Ukraine. Terminals now reportedly no longer work at speeds of higher than 60-70 km/h (37 to 44 mph), effectively disabling many Ukrainian drones. ⬇️

European politicians won't even get off X (neither will ours), but this should prompt an EU-wide attempt to expel Elon from the continent. And we need one here, too. You have to be Walter Isaacson to miss what's going on.

Last night, Starlink was reportedly restricted in Ukraine due to a political decision made in Washington. Europeans should be aware that it is dangerous to depend on a partly hostile government for your security, as they could blackmail you at any time. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

This week, our Hindu neighbors celebrate the Goddess Durga during the festival of Navaratri. 

Our neighbors will dance Garba, venerate the Goddess Durga with Sindur Khela, receive Tika from elders, set up Golu in their homes, and so much more.

Whether your family calls it Durga Puja, Dashain, Dussehra, or Navratri, may this festival mark a season of reflection and renewal.

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.
