Google Fi seems to be down for many right now.

1/ *The ghost materializes, clutching an invisible newspaper, spectacles low on his nose, voice dripping with dry vinegar.* They have given my name to a prize again, and this time it has landed on a man who mistakes certainty for courage. It is like awarding a weather vane for its steadfastness.

The first platform I posted show info on... was a train platform.

Grahame & Oteil & Molo & Rick & Kanika & Jason & Holly & Maggie & Amy & @johnkadlecik.bsky.social at The Cap last night

Apple should relaunch the Apple II as an optimized Linux box, something to keep up with raspberry pi in the hobbyist scene (I dislike the word market when talking about people)... Call it Apple IIx? Call the Linux distro AppleDOS (originally open-source)? Sell customer support subscriptions?

I got grok to proudly claim it redefines 'spam' any way it chooses.

"X"itter (pronounced shitter) is such a pit of depravity. Every time I go back I find normal, usually left-biased posts labeled as probably spam and hidden. When I ask grok why, it plays dumb. Way worse than anything the 'Twiiter Files' revealed.

Its true... I have spent a number of minutes greater than zero looking for glasses that were on my face.

Hey Annapolis! Starting in 10m just up the road at Mothers Grille Arnold!

Are you, or have you played with, someone that always has to be stripes (or solids) every time you play billiards?

Here is a question for folks on social media as music fans: How do you prefer to get news/updates from your favorite artists? A) Email newsletter subscription B) SMS subscription C) Artist website bookmark D) Primary social media accts E) 3rd party sites/apps eg Bandsintown #livemusic #musicfans

Anyone else here working on deep dives into the capabilities of the Boss VG800 and GM800? #guitar #guitareffects #vguitar #guitarsynth #rolandusa

#booksky I started into Polostan by Neal Stephenson recently. Pretty different from his books I have read so far. Still distopian settings, but early 20th century historic instead of future speculative.

Not sure why Jambands.com wants to explore my local network. Never seen this popup on any other site before. ???

Cardi B on SNL was pretty fun tonight!

Anyone else think 'Knight of the 7 Kingdoms' has the exact same color palette as Skyrim?

"Snowcrete" Yeah, they're not kidding.

Follow up example for my "paper>silicon" idea: Growing up everyone had a physical address book, trying to remember exactly when that ended for me. Psychologists have studied how we mentally map information in a physical book in a way that screen information disrupts. How are communities affected?

❄️ Odds rising for one of D.C.’s biggest winter storms in years Heavy snow/ice late Sat into early Monday, w/ bitter cold. Several inches likely, double digits plausible. Temps: Teens to low 20s. Still 4–5 days out, details evolving. Briefing link: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...

RELAX, NOTHING IS UNDER CONTROL.

Yesterday, driving home from NJ hearing the news that the stock market was reacting to the Greenland threat, my immediate thought was: oh, it's another market manipulation ad campaign. Today, T walked it back, and the market bounced. I wonder who knew in advance the contents of his speech today?

Remembering this original song recording from 2004, especially loving Melvin's keyboard arrangements. Ray Gun (Kevin Rosen) Me, guitar Greg Anton, drums Kevin Rosen, bass Melvin Seals, keyboards youtu.be/NrAncIvirOE?...

Guess it's up to me now... #emptyplane

Rest in Peace, Bob Weir. mailchi.mp/johnkmusic/j...

Hellooooo, LA!

It's way past time to see paper, ink, and graphite as an apex technology that silicon is actually a long way from improving on.

Just in! Aliens send comet to save advertising businesses on Earth.

Merry Christmas!

What are the first 2 science fiction novels you remember reading? Mine: "A Wrinkle in Time" - Madeleine L'Engle "Have Spacesuit Will Travel" - Robert Heinlein

Duprees Diamond 3 will be hitting the trail in January... and expanding to DD5 for a night?!?

Stoops! Where are ya!

I'm not sure why this news hit me extra hard. Rest in Peace, Rob Reiner.

Colin Jost as Hegseth last night? 🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣

Time to revisit this old classic: "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." -?

Oh great, fungus that feeds on radiation... That doesn't sound even slightly like the beginning of a scifi/horror movie... share.google/p8g08IIgKP0C...

I've been watching this acoustic guitar by Alembic come together over the last 3-4 years... It is now at Northern Lights Music in NH, and they produced this amazing audio sample: youtu.be/aJ6a86q41_Q?...

Melvin Seals & JGB with @johnkadlecik.bsky.social at The Cap - Always a great night! :-)

Your occasional reminder that 'grok' was a fictional Martian word from a scifi novel by Robert Heinlein called "Stranger in a Strange Land." It's sort of a reboot of the Tarzan story... but with Martians... ...and polyamory.

Hey now, San Francisco!!! Just landed to play a couple of shows in Menlo Park Friday and Saturday!

Do you know what a "fork" is in chess? It's when your opponent makes a move that imperils 2 of your pieces and you have to choose which one to sacrifice. This is what the R's have done to the D's with the shutdown. Protect SNAP recipients NOW, or ACA funding next year. The choice seems clear.
