Ha ha ha ha ha FUCK YOU. I’m so glad truth won out over obvious bullshit.
Interesting...

This was on my mind before the bad news on Friday, but Jen and I have seen it pop up a lot over the weekend: now that abortion is criminalized, how long will it take for data brokers to sell out women based on their period-tracking software? I put an app on Finn's iPad for this very reason, though I'm better at entering the information than she is. The Heath app on her iPhone is much more secure than this; by design all of the information stays local on the phone itself.
By the way: Not long.

From VICE, yet another chilling story: a data broker is collecting and selling location information of people who visited Planned Parenthood, where they came from, and where they went afterwards. I think we all need to be trained up on proper information security to circumvent the oncoming Big Brother state that's bearing down on us. Step one: leave the phone at home.

Hmmm. A scan of my Google News feed picked this up today: Café Hon in Hampden is closing this evening. The space has been bought by the Foreman/Wolf group, who run some of our favorite restaurants in the city. The last time we ate there was probably before Finn was born, and we were not impressed; the owner trademarked the word "Hon" and got a lot of bad local press for enforcing it. They were featured later on "Kitchen Nightmares" and nobody came out looking well. Hopefully the new venue will be worth visiting.

I've been looking for the collected Venture Brothers seasons on DVD for years with no luck, and suddenly they appeared on Netflix's DVD service (yes, we still pay to have DVDs sent by mail). I just filled up the queue with comedy goodness and bumped everything else to the bottom. By the way, there's a movie coming! I sure hope it's better than the Deadwood movie.
