The Airbus A320 mess is happening while I'm on vacation means I get to learn what happened and how they fix it later, without needing to figure it out in real time and report on it.

Good news is it is mostly software fixes. For those that need hardware it could be rough.

IMPORTANT: Stop calling the troops in LA National Guard Troops. They are not. When Trump activated them against the wishes of the Gov they became FEDERAL troops… like the 82nd airborne with no Law enforcement power! Don’t let them confuse you!

We honor the bravery of those who risked everything on D-Day—and remember why they did.

Freedom demands vigilance, then and now.

In 2021, device-management startup Kandji approached Six Colors to commission a new entry in our Report Card series focusing on how Apple’s doing in large organizations, including businesses, education, and government. We formulated a set of survey questions that would address the big-picture issues regarding Apple in the enterprise. Then we approached people we knew in the community of Apple device administrators and asked them to participate in the survey.

I love paying TurboTax a few hundred bucks every year to figure out how much money I owe the government, which the government already knows, but won't tell me because TurboTax pays legislators to keep the government from telling me. 😻

All voters look for showmanship, guts, and a sense that this candidate is fighting for YOU. I’m not sure why some Dem politicians think “we find acceptable middle ground with feudalists” is a better pitch
We are 18 months out from an election. Now is the time to (1) shore up the base, who *is* paying attention & is fucking furious, and (2) build the narrative playing field we want to be working on in September 2026. Stop playing scared.
