Amid a contentious feud with Pope Leo XIV regarding U.S. military interventions over the past several months,
including the war in Iran,
the Trump administration has
⚠️ended an $11 million contract with the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami.
The contract through the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) gave funds to the organization to provide housing and other resources for migrant childrenwho entered the country without parents or adult family members.

New research reveals repeated flooding is altering Florida freshwater resources
Heavy rains causing repeated river flood intrusions into Florida's freshwater springs are changing the function of the clear natural resource. Findings from University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) researchers Paul Donsky and Matt Cohen reveal that these intrusions can cause flow reversal, worsening already present problems.

How does it work for you? ⚡️ Consulting Collective (noun): when a small group of independent consultants or freelancers share clients, resources, and revenue on specific projects while maintaining their independence on others. Like the Avengers, but for client work. The solo consultant life is lonely and limiting, because you can only take on so much work, you have no backup when you’re sick or on vacation, and big clients often want teams, not individuals. But going back to a traditional agency or corporate job means giving up your autonomy + flexibility. So, consulting collectives are the clever middle ground no one’s talking about.

I never thought I’d be doing this at my age…
That’s what my friends Karen and Chris told me recently. She’s a retired teacher; he’s a retired firefighter. They are a Canadian couple from Alberta who, over the past few years, have travelled the world, spent time with their family, and helped over a thousand individuals and couples build an online business that removed financial anxiety from their lives.
How did they do this? They got involved in an online business a few years ago and helped others do the same. They had a mentor to guide them from day one. But on top of that they had access to and support of other experienced people on the team. They were able to take advantage of a huge library of training resources that showed them how to get started and keep going in an effective manner. And they had the flexibility to work on their new business based on their priorities and schedules.
The results speak for themselves.
If you’re wondering if it’s possible for you, message me to learn more.

Started my rewatch of Resident Evil: Apocalypse today (I'm rewatching all the Resident Evil flicks and the Netflix show in chronological order) and got about halfway through. Apocalypse is super 2004- super early 2000s. The effects, the acting, all of it. Jill Valentine has the look, of course, but they made her so ridiculous, so over the top. And she's always smoking? 😂🤣

Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
As the city is locked down under quarantine, Alice finds out that the people that died from the previous incident at the Umbrella Corporation have turned into zombies. She then joins a small band of elite soldiers, who are enlisted to rescue the missing daughter of the creator of the mutating T-virus. Once lack of luck and resources happen, they begin to wage an exhilarating battle to survive and escape before the Umbrella Corporation erases its experiment from the face of the earth.

One thing I've noticed in recent years, not solely from government, is the assumption that processes are naturally parallelizable - ie they can be scaled with resources - whereas in reality this can take significant amounts of work to make true.
There's a lot of pre-cloud business processes - and licensing arrangements - that still work with the assumption of "one big computer".
