@atpfm @siracusa @caseyliss @marcoarment In light of the Bloomberg report about the Mac Pro likely going away, I think John is going to have to buy one of these: https://youtu.be/HtvZWAFl0AU?si=HS-H-QfpC2iHK8SY

This Spoon single from 2020 that never made an album is truly great. For some reason the chorus rattles around in my head all the time these days.
"What we need now's an accident/no one to blame and no bullets spent"

Cory Wong of Vulfpeck has a long form interview with Trey that seems like it could be pretty good. (I’ve only listened to a clip from Instagram so far)

I feel bad that my wife barely knows how to use our Sonos system, but the good news is that the only thing she knows how to do is put on Neil Young Radio from Apple Music. It’s a good mix!

Indivisible, 50501, and everyone involved in these big protests are doing phenomenal work. There is literally nothing to lose by continuing to push high turnout, nonviolent, orderly, protests with the simple message that dictatorships are bad and unAmerican, and Trump is trying to be a dictator.

Today I learned that there only 17 Olmec heads have ever been unearthed, which makes Bart getting one from Mr. Burns that much more impressive. #thesimpsons

It’s not a perfect movie by any means but the subplot in V for Vendetta with the late night host getting black bagged and executed for criticizing the regime is starting to feel too close to home.

I know we have a first amendment, but if we didn't I would forbid local tv news from reporting on crimes from outside of their broadcast region. Nobody in New Hampshire needs to be making Facebook comments on a NH tv station's post about a murder in North Carolina. It's toxic.

If anyone is looking for a fantastic contemporary yet traditional jazz album, RoundAgain with Joshua Redman, Brad Mehldau, Christian McBride, and Brian Blade has to be about as good as it gets. Incredible playing by all four.

Over on Whatever today, I write on the Pixel 10 Pro's "Pro-Res Zoom" and how that "AI"-generated zoom feature is not creating photos, but illustrations, some of which have not much to do with actual reality, and what that means for taking photos with the phone: https://whatever.scalzi.com/2025/08/29/pictures-not-photos-whats-going-on-with-the-pixel-10-pro-pro-res-zoom/

I know the conventional wisdom about Apple is that they are "behind" in AI (even at the company) but going slow and using GenAI judiciously now seems prescient to me. As limited as Siri currently is, no one wants a sycophantic AI-powered Siri that hallucinates answers. #apple #ai

mRNA COVID vaccines have saved millions of lives. No other technology is as flexible at dealing with an emergent pathogen with pandemic potential. We will likely be seeing many more of these pathogens as a result of climate change. Ending research is going to lead to untold numbers of future deaths.
