Gonna try something new in 2026. Going to try writing a story as a series of skeets, with minimal planning or plotting beforehand, posting more or less in real time. I guess we'll see where this goes.

PLUS he literally told the whole country that its citizens should expect no support from the federal government for anything, nothing at all, except wars to fight. I still can't understand how there aren't riots over this.

BREAKING: Not only did Donald Trump recruit a bunch of people who claim to oppose his disruption of reason and discourse to serve as his data mules, Again, But none of you are pointing out that his 48-hour deadline again shifted. See how he rots your own reason?

Looking forward to the April downward adjustment to the numbers. I think we all lived through March, what exactly would lead anyone to believe there was a jobs turnaround based on what we experienced?

It was hard enough to take anything Anthropic says about the "psychology" of its models seriously m, and that was before they leaked that their code generation tool is mostly loops and regex.

I was trying to put my finger on why Trump-style fascism presents differently. I think lack of uniforms. Past fascists LOVED military style uniforms. Everybody got one. But Trump et al have adopted poorly fitted suits and cheap ass accessories. Would love

Thanks to the leak, we can confirm that Claude Code is actually three rabid raccoons in a trench coat, propped up by a billion dollars worth of steroids and meth to keep them going.

I think one issue that isn't getting discussed enough is the form a search engine response takes and the all role in that. It's one thing to leverage the LLM to identify relevancy and surface candidate responses. It's another to generate responses based on what is found.

An abiding cognitive failure mode is the disbelief in the gap between lay understanding and expertise, coupled with tooling that has made it easier and easier to achieve results sans understanding. Our abstractions are choking us.

protest, I felt a bit deflated. It was rousing seeing so many people out there. But the déjà vu was strong. I've stood in the same spot on Boston Common several times, alongside many of the same people, for years. Yet, here we are.

Bigger, beefier inheritance taxes for the absurdly wealthy. Turn the NEA into what other countries have, funds to provide living wages for working artists of every discipline. Government-owned groceries in neighborhoods where capitalism refuses to provide. Everyone gets food stamps/SNAP. Everyone

This is not "talking to the past". It's a weak, biased, averaged out simulacrum generated by putting a bunch of semi-random text in a blender. Play with it if tou like, but don't pretend it grants much deep insight or access to the minds behind the source text.
