I confirmed my place in the Anthropic suit payout, but noticed the only 2 books of mine used to train their LLM were the one book I did with a co-author, & someone else's that I wrote the foreword to. I feel vaguely slighted.

Are there any military history accounts on here? I read a lot of military history, and that's the only reason I'm still on Twitter, and I'd REALLY like to be able to leave.

Lame duck.
I just want to say this every time Trump says ANYTHING.
Journalists should practice making duck quacks without being seen, and quack at press briefings. Quack all the time.
Remind the Republicans in Congress that Trump is a LAME DUCK PRESIDENT.

Package Tracking is nice, but it can be overdone. I got four emails today for one package:
Seller: Hey! UPS says it's on the truck.
UPS: It's on the truck.
UPS: It's on your porch.
Seller: Hey! UPS says it's on your porch.
And that doesn't count two dogs losing their minds at the UPS truck.

A bit of clarity on the military's oaths, and what they mean in the context of "illegal orders". Quick read, but important. Nichols is right: everyone should read it.
This article is from @markhertling.bsky.social - a retired three-star Army general - and everyone should read it.

Every time I feel the slightest temptation to use AI, I think of a huge coal-fired power plant firing up and blasting huge clouds of smoke and ash into a blue sky... And I write something instead.

Samwise's ears still droop like a puppy's, even though he's a year and a half old. Not 'normal' for a Corgi, but not unknown. We accept it; it's cute, he's The Eternal Puppy (and acts it).
But lately...his ears are up on occasion.

My wife comes home from a well-deserved vacation in Ireland tomorrow. I don't think we've been apart this long since maybe 2005, when I went on a press tour of Bavarian breweries. I sure do miss her.
