Bunnies for adoption!

Two of the baby #bunnies my friends were fostering are available for pre-adoption in #PaloAlto #SFBay. They're the little boys, Jeremy and Frederick.

Jeremy is the absolute sweetest baby. Even though he's the littlest bun in the litter, he's the most active and curious. If I had space at home and didn't have to worry about Murder Kitty's reaction to a rabbit, I would have already claimed him.

Frederick is also wonderfully sweet and less of a troublemaker than his brother. We had a nice goodbye cuddle before he left his foster home. 😿

They're both white with blue eyes. If you don't already have a bunny, adopting two gives them each a playmate and companion. Their 4 sisters will be available soon.

Their beautiful mama Mocha is also available.

Pic shows Mama Mocha with two of her now huge babies. The red-eyed bun is a girl but the one behind her is probably Frederick.

I'm in on the call for Palo Alto to divest from Musk's businesses. They're incredibly destructive and untrustworthy for all of us.

MobilizeUrge the City of Palo Alto to divest from Tesla and Musk Businesses · MobilizeA RESOLUTION calling on the pension and treasury systems of Palo Alto, California to divest from Tesla, and calling on all government agencies to cancel contracts and commit to doing no future business including procurements, tax liens, subsidies or other investment of public monies in Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, xAI, Boring Company and any other Musk-controlled business entity. Via DOGE, Elon Musk is using his immense wealth and concomitant political power to insert himself into the inner workings of the federal government without appearing on a ballot or being confirmed by the Senate. Nearly two dozen lawsuits have been filed regarding the legality of DOGE’s actions at the behest of Musk: * Cuts directed by Musk have directly led to the loss of at least $500,000 in critical revenue needed to fund Palo Alto's Environmental Justice Collaborative Problem-Solving Cooperative Agreement Program. (https://www.americanprogress.org/article/doge-cuts-by-city-state-and-congressional-district/) * DOGE and the Appropriations clause of the Constitution. (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mdd.576293/gov.uscourts.mdd.576293.73.0.pdf) * DOGE and the Antideficiency Act.

Sign this petition to call on the City of Palo Alto to divest CALSTRS and CalPERS pension funds from Tesla and Musk businesses.

#Facebook front office grabbed great publicity from its bold #billion dollar public #pledge to help solve the #BayArea #housing crisis, then after the cameras, clicks and likes disappeared so did it's phony commitment, as #Meta quietly cut the funding teat and #ghosted the topic.

Money did flow at first , as public entities provided matching funds, but #Zuggerfugger's #PaloAlto #SocialMedia #boardroom backed shills quietly cut and run, committing far less than a quarter of the publicly pledged total. The vast majority of money from Meta, a company lacking a corporate charitable arm, came back to their HQ, repaid as low 2% interest rate loans of up to $15m to developers, not actual donations.

5 years after the flurry of #publicity, the unfulfilled propaganda pipe dream went deferred, projects were few and far between, impacts largely lost and untold in a region still desperately in need of more affordable housing.

2/ ...and it just so happens that #PaloAlto released a long investigation into a newer and less well known North Korean crypto operation called "Slow Pisces" and/or "Jade Sleet" at the same time.

This time the #DRPK's crypto thieves pose as recruiters on LinkedIn and try to lure developers into doing various coding challenges hosted on #GitHub as part of a job interview. Doing a challenge leads to infection with custom Python #malware.

In mehreren Städten im Silicon Valley wurden Ampelknöpfe gehackt, sodass beim Drücken Stimmen abgespielt wurden, die Elon Musk und Mark Zuckerberg imitieren. Diese KI-generierten Stimmen äußerten satirische und teils provokante Aussagen über KI, Demokratie und soziale Themen. Die Städte Palo Alto, Redwood City und Menlo Park sind betroffen. In Palo Alto wurden die Sprachausgaben an 12 Kreuzungen deaktiviert. Die Behörden untersuchen den Vorfall und prüfen Sicherheitslücken in der öffentlichen Infrastruktur.
