Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth chastised Sen. Mark Kelly for incorrectly displaying his military uniform medals, not comprehending that photographs reverse images from left to right. Here’s what that says about Joe Biden’s cognitive state.

macOS upgrades are annoying AF.

St. Paul police are on the side of the Gestapo. They have flagged themselves as the enemies of the people.

I don't know exactly why, but I've never been a huge Alanis Morrissette fan. OK, that's not true. I know why. "Ironic" really put me off. It's a crappy song with crappy lyrics. But, damn, "You Oughta Know" is so good and the bass line is just an absolute blast to play.

The MLS shield graphic during the Apple TV broadcast is annoying AF.

The grammar checking in JetBrains software is the single most useless feature across their products.

The Vikings suck.

On the list of songs I know how to play on bass or keyboards, the two longest song names are by the Arctic Monkeys. No one else even comes close.

The tiny giants made of tinier giants drowned in the tears of Shastasheen.

"Well, yes, Mamdani and I have our differences. He's a socialist, they say he's a socialist, and I guess he says so too. A democratic socialist, but a socialist. Meanwhile, I'm busy seizing the means of production, forcing a cultural revolution, cracking down on the intelligentsia ...."

Le Mille Neuf Cents Soixante Quinze

Claude noticed in my old code: const actual = this; AND IT MADE A CONTEXTUAL JOKE: "Arrow functions saving us from const actual = this since 2015. But I respect the BSG reference. "All of this has happened before, and all of it will happen again" - including JavaScript's this binding chaos."

Noam Chomsky, huh. Boston colleges may need a house cleaning.

Damn announcers jinxing the Wild.

Steyer should learn that being a billionaire is prima facie evidence that you are incapable of public service.

He's always been a vile piece of shit. Nothing he says surprises me. What does surprise me is that people are still giving his vile ass a pass.

No, he's not earning his way. I had been eating there a second ago and he's hoping I left my food on the table.

I'm sure Fox "News" is all over the "Quiet Piggy" and Khashoggi comments today... Uh, well, maybe not.

Sometimes I make jokes to Claude. Today, I said "And should people set this at the song level or the setlist level? I am thinking the setlist level because no one I know of would change reference frequencies in the middle of a set except hardcore AC/DC fans."

Would it be a shame if "things happened" to Trump?

One of these days, the response to "Who are you with?" needs to be met with a "Why does that matter? It's a legitimate question and you want to use my affiliation to deflect from it." But we have no journalists in America.

Someone should do to MBS what he did to Khashoggi.

That Summers still is employed by Harvard speaks volumes about Harvard.

Also known as "Gen X Apocalypse"

I'm sure Trump will also release his tax returns tomorrow.

Your cowardice is showing, @amyklobuchar.com

Today in Adventures in AI-land, I had Claude bashing Anthropic's AI help chat tool when I had a technical problem with Claude's data getting corrupted. Claude advised me on how to get around the AI chatbot and get to a human.

Our wonder if our legal system is capable of judging when people have the right to riot and revolt.

I haven't been to a Starbucks since the strike began. My Starbucks isn't one of the striking locations, but it doesn't matter.

People often say they want a Presidential candidate they feel they can have a beer with. I want a candidate willing to hold an umbrella over a little dog while she pees in the rain.

I love how indignant some of these "wrong number" scammers get when I call them out as scammers.

FIFA's cozy relationship with Trump makes me want to boycott the World Cup.

Any day now, I expect Hegseth to start mumbling about our precious bodily fluids.

Beautiful steal by Randle!

I like the Wolves purple look tonight.

Walstedt has to be the most impressive thing so far about the season for the Wild.

#mnwild power play 0 for 7 tonight, 11 shots

I will be very excited to see Larry Summers in a jail cell with the cameras cut along with Trump.

Yet another high-sticking penalty by Anaheim. This is like the old undisciplined Ducks. #mnwild have now had 12 minutes of PP time in this game from high-sticking, then Ducks tried to put somebody other than Leo Carlsson in the box

10 of 13 minutes in this third period have been PP minutes.

Well, @amyklobuchar.com, were you in on this as well? I bet you were. If you were, it's time for you to go along with Schumer.

The Ducks are a piece of work. Dirty fucking team.

My CodePipeline stuff has been slow as hell all day today.

Some inspiring words on cinema in the streaming era from the Pope. Yes, THAT Pope.

I love how Peggy Flanagan's emails include snippets of Ojibwe in them, including her introducing herself with her Ojibwe name.

Every time a text comes into the family chat prefaced by "Guys", I know there's trouble brewing.

I also question why the Biden administration never released the files. But I know the answer: our system is designed to protect the wealthy and powerful, even at the expense of homeless teenage GIRLS who simply want money for braces.

If I were running for office against, say Tom Emmer (or insert Republican), all I would ever say or campaign on is: At least I don't protect pedophiles. No matter what darts are throw at you, you can respond, "If that were true, how is that worse than protecting pedophiles?"
