Got subscription bombed a few days ago. In the middle of all the subscription confirms was a ticket purchased on Alaska Air using miles. Glad I didn't mass delete the hundreds of emails or would've missed.

I’ve been getting a ton of emails from Boardy Boardman about connecting me with founders raising capital. Has anyone ever responded to this AI agent? Just curious.

Had a great time joining @jeremyalmond & @megancguy on the @reDeFined_talks podcast. We covered a lot—early crypto adoption, blockchain in treasury strategy, and what I’m seeing from students and startups at the edge of finance and tech. 🎧 Worth a listen. youtube.com/watch?v=T5zKvI6N…

Love this solution for aging in place. When I was at IControl Networks 20 years ago this is one of the use cases we evaluated. There was a wifi connected teapot that was popular in Japan. If parent made daily tea, kids knew everything was ok.
Today we're announcing Routines. A new project from Density Routines is designed to help older Americans live independently longer It's a radar sensor + ai agent that anonymously measures: > caregiver arrival (in home or facility) > unexpected absence > and real-time routine

So, trying to get tax refund issue resolved with FTB. They want me to fax them a bunch of supporting docs? It’s almost 2025 and FTB still requires faxes? When I asked if I could send by telegram instead, she suggested I go to Home Depot to fax. I can do on my computer, but WTF!!

Thanks Jeff Lawson for buying the Onion so we could get this great zoom in on electoral coverage. No other news source has gone to this level of detail.

Didn't think dominoes set in motion by Saban leaving Bama would reach Brent Brennan @SJSU but it did. Sad for Spartans but congrats to Brennan and Arizona.

The new golf Everyman? How popular would a Michael Block / @PGA_JohnDaly pairing be?
This old Michael Block commercial for his golf course is truly epic

I’m an early investor in @WagWalking but they are the worst! Have had dog walkers cancel 4 out of 5 days AND they keep charging. At least they didn’t lose my dog on the day they came but not sure how they stay in business
Hey ⁦@PsychoScorecard⁩ this is my all time card and only ace. Having a 1 - 7 on the card is a difficult straight… #psychoscorecard #holeinone

Everything bit of news out of #Uvalde law enforcement response gets worse and worse. The tactical team finally entered the locked classroom using the janitors keys after one hour and six minutes?!?! WTF!

So #Raiders and #Chargers could guarantee playoffs, rest players for next week, and make sure nobody gets hurt and won’t do it? How is this much different from resting all starters last game of season after clinching?

Ok, I take it back. This has been a great to watch…unless you are a #Steelers fan. Now they can do the take a knee thing in OT.
