Lauren Weinstein
Lauren WeinsteinI was about to order a small USB-powered desk fan for $7.99 -- I need something small and quiet to blow on me while I do my radio reports -- my other fans are just too noisy. There was a selection box to order two, so I said what the hell i can use an extra one, let's see what the discount is. The discount was 50%. So two fans for ... $7.99 total out of pocket. Same as one fan.
Nothing makes sense anymore.
Lauren WeinsteinBefore Trump tackles crime in Washington D.C. generally, he should tackle crime in his own Oval Office.

Lauren WeinsteinI've recently been down the rabbit hole of this guy's #YouTube channel. He's a foreman for a firm in Mississippi that does install and maintenance work for traffic signals and related systems. The complexity of the tech running traffic lights, with camera-based car sensors, GPS synchronization, and so much more, is incredible. Inside those control boxes it looks like little data centers. One fascinating aspect is that they mostly (or perhaps all) have separate hardware that watches for conflicts to avoid the nightmare situation of lights being green in a way that could cause accidents, and mechanisms to force the lights into "flashing" mode when there are failures. Really fascinating stuff. Well, for me, anyway. - https://www.youtube.com/@Trafficlightdoctor

Lauren WeinsteinJew-hating Trump demands a billion dollars from UCLA to restore federal funding, claiming it's about antisemitism, etc.
Trump is as Jew-hating as they come. He's using claimed "antisemitism" at UCLA as an excuse to gain control over education and research and to wipe out civil rights and gender care. It's the same lying sh*t he's pulling everywhere.
Lauren WeinsteinTrump is excited because Tim Cook gave him a gold plated statue. In reality iPhones won't actually be made here. Maybe Tim gave him an ice cream cone, too.
