Since we've decided as a country not to support PBS anymore, I do want to make a plug for PBS Passport the online streaming version of PBS. It's $5 a month and we've had it for 8 years now. Nova, Frontline, nature, Ken Burns, local shows, old house, masterpiece, and more are faves in this household.

There are many reasons I dislike genAI, but this one feels deeply personal.

Hey uh so this is awkward but if I'm following any creepy men who have been outed as creepy men, it's not because I endorse them, it's because I forget social media exists for weeks at a time.

I know none of you will read this, but if you follow tens of thousands of accounts and follow me, I'm probably just gonna block you.

Today I dialed in to a BBS (not mine - no dialup access to it yet) and posted on it. It had been so long since I had heard the sweet modem tones in person.
