Most of this should have remained as part of my inner dialogue.

An increasing amount of my website work is fielding requests from clients to implement their ChatGPT results. Are these good strategies? Not always. Are these quality ideas? Frequently, no. Are the instructions I'm supposed to follow correct? Rarely. Does it increase my time required? Absolutely.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

The price of coddling conservative ignorance and malice is astonishing.
BREAKING: RFKJr directs that the US instantly stop recommending all vaccinations for children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

Great! Now, how do the rest of us cash in on licensing our scraped content to AI platforms?

I tried removing LastPass from Chrome and only relying on Apple Passwords for about 30 days now. The Passwords part worked ~ok~ and would be fine enough, but the lack of Auto-Fill for online forms has me adding LastPass to my extensions again. Major time-saver for me, esp. with web dev work.

Yes! I've launched an all-new updated website that should let me keep everything up to date much easier than before. Click on things and be sure to tell everyone about it over the upcoming holiday break!

In our house we play a tetris-like-game where the person who puts the stuff in the trash or recycling that prevents the thing from closing is the one who has to take it out. Nobody wins.

I look forward to the AI-generated websites, plugins, scripts, and themes that will include intentional and unintentional exploits that will unleash an entirely new era of malware and scamming on a scale we haven’t even imagined yet.

Had a great time seeing Trey Anastasio last night! Pretty much a Phish show with a few of his own mixed in, and it was great.

Automatic filename/slug formatting in Google Sheets
I like to save my file names prepended with the YYYY year a piece was made, so I had Chat GPT whip me up a nice little formula, tweaked it until it was just right, and now doing the work is a little less unfun.

Everyone encountering "officers" with their faces covered should also wear masks to hide their identities.
There are basic issues of democratic legitimacy when armed and masked men are defying the wishes of neighborhoods and cities of America.

Kristi Noem is flat-out lying when she claims no U.S. citizen has been arrested in her violent crackdown. Do a web search on “immigration citizen arrested” and you’ll see. Here’s one of the many documented reports we found.

Companies that are partly owned by a President's children are insurance against waste, fraud, and abuse. The family ties ensure the quality of the product and integrity of the contract.
The company brought Junior in right after the election as part owner. They just won the largest drone motor contract awarded by the Pentagon.

This is going to be a visual version of The Algorithm for everybody. Everything we see, everywhere we go, will be tailored to our personal worldview.

I don’t know if there’s a more perfect illustration of the utter fucking nonsense that creative pollution by AI will produce than this choice to illustrate the power of Paramount’s new “localization” and “customization” technology by face-swapping Brad Pitt into the lead role of GET OUT

"The more people we kill, the more lives we save."
Trump on his lawless strikes on boats: "One shot, everyone dead center. And the only way you can't feel bad about it is you realize that -- you won't feel badly about it -- is you realize that every time you see that happen, you're saving 25,000 American lives."

If there is ever a Democratic administration again in my lifetime, I expect them to simply enact all of the things that have eluded our citizenry for the past several decades now that laws don't matter anymore:
- Universal Healthcare
- Declare Citizens United null and void
- Expand SCOTUS
- Universal Healthcare

Thought experiment, how much of the White House could the president tear down before anyone in power did anything meaningful to stop it? Like if he just kept going?
