The AI keeps telling me to stop exercising because vision goes wonky, which is normal for me. Exercise is the single best thing I can do (now that I’ve done the right drugs).
Most non-medical professionals know better than to give medical advice. This should be actionable under the same rules.

The Brompton has been ordered, and then I called them to say they could put it at the end of the queue so I have time to receive the gift cards. Turns out they’re short today, so this is helpful to them, and I’ll be able to change payment.
So thank you stupid credit card for paying for my Brompton!

Test ride the Brompton; it is perfectly nice as an analog bike. Rides like a wiggly Raleigh sports (complimentary); once I’m used to it, I’m sure that will feel like nimbleness.

After careful consideration, I will be dumping the Chase business cc as soon as the 0% apr runs out. The thing where they use _incorrect_ information to validate your account is lowkey terrifying.
I have a horror of being locked out of accounts. More than data breach for most tbh.

I signed up for my annoying chase credit card because the bonus offer was really nice: enough points to get $900 cash back (which would be taxed) or gift cards (which will not be). So I am going to REI today to test ride a Brompton, which I have wanted for years.
I am 98% sure I will get it.

For 2026, would like to see genAI masquerading as "local and handmade" get the boot from craft/art fairs and anywhere working makers earn their living, and for progressive movements to stop using it - you didn't need it before, and 100% don't need it now. Walk the walk as well as talking the talk.

I have a Teasmade, which is an alarm clock that makes tea, that I never used in this apartment bc I didn’t have a good place to put it.
I decided I should check it still works in preparation for my move and promptly broke the teapot, which at least validates that there really wasn’t a good spot.

Chase credit cards tried to validate my identity by asking what bank I last used to pay my card, but they did not accept the bank I used to pay the card in November, and only validated me when I told them the bank I used in October. (December I had no balance.)
Anyway. I am professionally offended.

Don’t keep your mind so open that your brains fall out, and also don’t keep your democratic coalition so open that your people fall out.
Members of a democratic coalition at least have to believe in democracy. Cmon now.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

I got a swag jacket with a surprisingly great cut from a company that laid me off, so I picked off the company logo and covered the spot with an iron-on patch of a cute dumpster fire.

Bluesky is the new place to go for high-level political discussions because half of the pundits, for lack of a better word, have credentials like "Guy who plays in a Portland post-punk band". "Professional video editor in San Diego". "Commodities trader in Nova Scotia". "Person named Sharon"

Regulating AI would be really hard, especially if you don’t want to make it so the big guys are fine and no one else can compete. Anything that would do any good would have shell of a time passing. So I’ve been trying to think of ideas, mostly as I reread and reread the NIST AI RMF.
