With all the resistance to Trump, I'm not hearing anyone talking about initiating reforms to prevent the current abuses of power. The closest is removing authorizations of force. Where are the proposals for constitutional amendments? Where are the proposals for institutional reforms of Congress?

Educate yourself on security of AI tools
Some notes on the insecurity baked into Perplexity's Comet "AI Browser" - the Brave security team reported serious prompt injection vulnerabilities in it, but Brave themselves are developing a similar feature that looks doomed to have similar problems simonwillison.net/2025/Aug/25/...
Agentic Browser Security: Indirect Prompt Injection in Perplexity Comet
The security team from Brave took a look at Comet, the LLM-powered "agentic browser" extension from Perplexity, and unsurprisingly found security holes you can drive a truck through. The vulnerability...

It's hard to support a movement when its supporters slap you in the face. If I were weaker, I'd say fuck progressives I'm joining MAGA. At least MAGA's bigotry is on full display. Unfortunately hey're blatantly using me for political oppression. But at least they're not slapping me in the face.

I started posting my thoughts on technology and things on LinkedIn. It's been a good way to scratch that itch to help people by writing. Today I wrote about how I approach creating a partnership with a stakeholder. www.linkedin.com/posts/activi...

Isn’t it funny how motherfuckers who “couldn’t breathe” while wearing masks during the pandemic, can all of a sudden breathe just fine wearing masks now that they get to terrorize immigrants, but don’t want people to recognize them in their personal lives?

Men! Stop the mustache! Just say no! The flavor savor is not worth the sheer ugliness of it. It makes my eyeballs sad.

We had 45 years of no mustaches and it was glorious!

You're never going to have a mustache better than Tom Selleck's so just give up on it already.

It used to be that Republicans believed in federalism where each state decided its destiny. You also had Republican political leadership who argued against expanding government power because over day the other party will have it. Those days are over. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...
Trump knocks California on its heels: ‘He’s pulling the trigger on everything all at once.’
In years of conflict with Trump, California has never seen anything like this.

It really bothers me when I watch movies and TV shows that take place in the UK and they drive on the wrong side of the road
Stay on the right side!!

It's been a long time since I thought about this bit. It used to be in heavy rotation.

This is the type of news that is reported under the radar. We need to speak out against the Israeli ultra-nationalionists that shout "Death to Arabs". They're a vocal minority that needs to be drowned out by even louder calls for peace, freedom, and understanding.

I have a question I'd like to crowdsource the answer to. If I were a character actor, what sort of characters do you see me playing? For example a character might be "the office nemesis". I'm curious what people outside my head think. Thanks!!

As part of my comedy education, I'm watching the original Night Court on Prime. It's humor is timeless except for an occasional celebrity's name that I don't know. It's interesting to see the 80s with an adult's eye. High waisted skinny guy jeans. Walkmans. NYC dangerous before it was cleaned up.

My biggest regret in life is that I don't have a good pair of skinny jeans.

About halfway through Dr. Death on Peacock. It really resonates given our Film Flammer in Chief.
