The gasoline? Don't worry about it. It's the receipt that'll kill you.

First time I've ever seen the month/year/date format used.

I'm looking for the Black Mirror disclaimer on the page but I can't seem to find it.

I'll say it again: All music-on-hold loops should have a "wait in silence" option.

I like to stay informed so I really should be watching the address to congress. But I just can’t take watching that treasonous baboon.

What's a word you can't type no matter how many times you have tried? For me, it's "platform." I've been writing about technology for 30 years and it still comes out "platofrm" every single time.

I have been looking for a new community to replace Twitter. For a while I thought it'd be Threads, but I don't want to entrust my online persona to yet another smarmy billionaire. I'm glad BlueSky is getting traction. Hope we can make it work. I miss having 40,000 followers though.

When I wrote my "Do you have to be polite to AIs?" story back in 2017, I didn't make the connection to Pascal's Wager. I wish I had. @stevenlevy.bsky.social got it. We should call it Levy's Wager.

Well that was a fun evening. Gogol Bordello movie and music at Great American Music Hall

I have a theory/fear that LinkedIn is mining individuals' performance on its new games and will use that data in its networking, advertising, or job matching algos.
