🚨BREAKING: Bloomfield (CT) Public Schools attorney released records of dozens of students' private data (PII)—special ed status, test scores, race, etc.—in a bullying lawsuit. When flagged, they called it 'meaningless.' Families not notified. Full investigation: bloomfieldcommunitydispatch.…

Silence isn’t strategy. It’s contempt.
We invited both candidates for CT’s 2nd Senate District to a moderated debate. We later sent a rigorous 16-question written questionnaire on FOIA abuse, taxpayer-funded legal defenses, property tax relief for seniors, special-ed price gouging, and utility “public benefits” charges.
Rep. Maryam Khan: total silence. No debate. No answers.
Attorney Tim Knotts: answered every question—twice—on the record.
The Bloomfield Community Dispatch endorses Knotts. Voters in Bloomfield, Windsor, and northern Hartford should demand the same standard.
Full endorsement: bloomfieldcommunitydispatch.…
Full questionnaire is now public.
We sent both candidates for CT’s 2nd Senate District 8 core questions plus 8 follow-ups on audit failures, FOIA penalties, property tax relief for seniors, legal spending, special education costs, and utility charges.
Attorney Tim Knotts answered all 16 on the record. Rep. Maryam Khan answered zero.
Read every question and every response:

If a customer service issues can't be worked out online (such as having to upload private documents, etc.), that going to phone or email is essential. A businesses job is to serve their customers. #custserv

"Please choose joy. Wear the outfit. Order dessert. Watch the sunset. Laugh often and loudly. Light that candle you're saving. Dance in your kitchen. Celebrate the small stuff. Take road trips. Tell people you love them. Smile at strangers. Do things that scare you. Say yes to adventures—big and small. Life is short. Choose joy whenever you can.” ~Blue Iris

Corporate greed is Microsoft making $134 billion in profits last year, receiving $19 billion in tax breaks under Trump, paying a lower federal income tax rate than a nurse and getting rid of 60,000 workers.
“Corporations will create jobs if they get tax breaks” is a total scam.
The FOIC ordered Bloomfield Town Manager Alvin Schwapp to personally pay a $1,500 civil penalty. It found he denied a records request “without reasonable grounds” and that parts of his testimony were “not credible.”
Taxpayers paid it. No Council vote in the minutes. Officials cited “custom” and an unnamed “state statute.”
The documents: bloomfieldcommunitydispatch.…

Well, it's about bloody time! #GeminiArgon
We’re rolling out Gemini 4 Argon in Antigravity to paid Google AI Pro subscribers today. Demand has been incredible and we've scaled capacity deliberately to get here. We’ve rolled out a separate weekly-only Argon quota for Pro on top of the existing Gemini bucket for 3.8 Flash so you have the best of Gemini for all your tasks.
Can you imagine the damage that could be done if we phase an entire hour out of sync with astronomical time centuries from now before it gets corrected? What were these scientists thinking? The entire world could be destroyed in less than an hour! My word! 😱

Started playing @HogwartsLegacy on @amazonluna and now I'm hooked. I guess you could call me a #gaymer now? I even went and bought an @8BitDo controller, just so I can game on my TV. Who does these things? =b

Town of Bloomfield, CT cuts 224 seconds out of official Aug. 24 Town Council recording — the stretch right after vote to go into executive session, where Town Manager Alvin D. Schwapp, Jr is caught on live feed praising the mayor’s meeting management, saying “There is no f***ing reason for these meetings to go past 8:30,” & yelling at the public still in chambers.
Hours after a formal preservation demand and press questions, the entire video is set to private.
We have the original broadcast. They don’t get to erase the transition footage just because it’s uncomfortable.
