I am LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY at this meeting! Republican campaign consultants built their entire midterm strategy around making Mamdani into the devil incarnate and the face of Democratic Party, then Trump slobbers all over him today in the Oval!

@ohgodwhatnow.bsky.social my pro tip to avoid tech is selective embracement. If I see a article I want to read online I send it to @instapaper.com which then sends a bundle of articles to my kindle at 10pm, so I can sit in bed and read on a nice eink screen. Also RSS readers are the future (again).

Final session of a fun Another Bug Hunt @mothership.bsky.social game tonight. My character didn't die, technically, so I think I won right?

Quite an achievement last night. Talking in a panel for over an hour and a half on stage about Douglas Adams and his relevance to the world in which we now live, the madness of it all, and the idiots in charge, without once mentioning the B Ark.

With the Japanese edition of MÖRK BORG, we once more ran into the fact that not all alphabets or writing systems have gothic, blackletter typography. So we made new fonts.

I’ve seen many videos of these frog protestors and *not one* has been singing We All Stand Together by Paul McCartney and the Frog Chorus. They’re really missing a trick here.

The only safe place to use LLMs is in a field where you are already skilled enough to know you would never trust AI. So you might as well not.
We’ve got to start insisting on this Catch 22 being understood in all workplaces: AI only replaces workers too incompetent to notice it doesn’t work.

Most people are shocked to learn that ALL state-funded in schools are legally required to hold daily acts of worship.
We’re campaigning to change that – and replace worship with assemblies that all children can participate in.

Q: How many layoffs have you authorized?
TRUMP: It'll be a lot. And it'll be Democrat-oriented.
