This Jan. 6 plaque was made to honor law enforcement.
It’s nowhere to be found at the Capitol.
House Speaker Mike Johnson,
a Louisiana Republican, has yet to formally unveil the plaque. And the Trump
administration’s Department
of
Justice is seeking to dismiss a police officers’ lawsuit
asking that it be displayed as intended. The Architect of the Capitol, which was responsible for obtaining and
displaying the plaque, said in light of the federal litigation, it cannot comment.
On the profusion of icons in the most recent MacOS. It’s hard to justify Tahoe icons.
Two from Tara Calishain: Claude

frequently.”

Just putting things in perspective. Looks like OnlyFans 2025 revenue was about $7.2B, OpenAI $13B.

I suppose the reason I am not a VC is that this sounds like far too many layers of risk and
potential for fuck-up to me: Notebook Lawyer.
When we received the draft closing documents from the startup's lawyer, I added
them to the first Notebook [Google NotebookLM] and asked for a legal review of the draft
documents against the body of legal documents we have signed over the years, and most

the issues with the draft documents and highlighted the most significant ones.
Huh. Microsoft rebrands "Microsoft Office" as "Microsoft 365 Copilot":

Via, by way of gaytabase
@dysfun@treehouse.systems who framed it as:
LOL, the way microsoft is going to get copilot sales up is by classifying
all of office 365 as copilot
and
i dunno, this just smells like straight up investor fraud.
