@tml@urbanists.socialThe domestic (electric) regional trains in Austria all seem to be very new and shiny. Compare to the sad diesel regional train over the border to Sopron that I arrived in on Thursday. #ÖBB

@vrandecic@mas.toGoogle Calendar: I found an event in my calendar for this Thursday, without a title or description, but a specific time (12:20-13:05). It is my private calendar, so I know I created it. So I am probably going to miss something this Thursday, but I don't know what.
What I found interesting is that when I asked Gemini it was able to tell me when I *created* that event, a piece of metadata that is not visible in the Google Calendar UX in any way.

@cdarwin@c.imMultiple Republican lawmakers appeared split as the feud between Trump and Musk escalated into an all-out social media war on Thursday.
At the heart of the breakup is their disagreement over Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” which Musk has called a “disgusting abomination.”

@lmc@mastodon.socialapparently every first Thursday now there is a hoedown on the street outside my office and we are revitalizing downtown San Francisco with lots of cowboy hats and a mechanical bull 🐂 (I will not be trying it).
@davidaugust@mastodon.onlineWon’t someone think of the jackbooted thugs?
“…ICE officers themselves…facing inhumane conditions…showing symptoms of respiratory infections…can’t get proper testing for diagnoses…at risk of rocket attacks from Yemeni terrorists…lack body armor or other protective gear. …Trump…said…judge was ‘literally putting ICE agents’ lives in danger.’
…not quite true…judge never said they had to stay there…officials are ‘manufacturing the…chaos they decry.’”

@brian_gettler@mas.toIt's only Thursday morning and I've already had what's probably the most intense and productive week of writing since the home-stretch of my dissertation almost 15 years ago.
I basically wrote the entire first draft - and not a super drafty draft, at that - of what I'm thinking will be the second chapter in my next book.
I'm feeling great.

@lightweight@mastodon.nzoss.nzI think it's entirely fair to say that Chris Bishop, former tobacco lobbyist, is a dickhead. Good on ya, Don MacGlashan, for calling a spade a spade. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/562700
@thomastraynor@social.linux.pizzaOne call made my day...
Can we move the implementation from Friday to Thursday? Answer, yes.
Can we arrange for a special set of backups before and after? Answer, yes... after I pick up my jaw when it hit the floor. (Normally we ask for just one before we start).

@teledyn@mstdn.caOntario NDP, Liberals successfully stall Bill 5 after filibustering until midnight Thursday | CBC News
Bill 5 would create so-called "special economic zones" where the government can exempt companies or projects from complying with provincial laws or regulations. It would also replace the province's endangered species act, replacing it with an new law that critics say waters down protections.

The same year, Vance told the National Conservatism Conference that “we have to honestly and aggressively attack the universities in this country.” “We live in a world that has been made effectively by university knowledge” and to rebuild the nation along the lines of white Christian nationalism, the universities must be destroyed. Vance told the audience, “the professors are the enemy.”

@cdarwin@c.imImmigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced sweeping leadership changes Thursday
as part of an effort to dramatically ramp up arrests of illegal migrants.
The “leadership realignment” comes as Trump administration officials push for ICE to make
a “minimum” of 3,000 arrests per day
– up from the 1,800 per day quota the White House initially demanded in January.
As part of the shake-up, Kenneth Genalo is out as the head of ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Ope…

@JSkier@social.linux.pizzaThe weather was too good to not run outside, and skip the treadmill last Thursday! First time running outside at my work running route this year after returning to the work FT this month, and it was spectacular!
Not expecting to hit a sub 8 minute mile, especially with my health issues, but if it happens, I'll be elated!
