I took “Visited” to mean I went to see or do something there but did not stay overnight. “Stayed” is overnight. “Stopped” is airport layover or stopped on road trip. “Passed” is drove through without stopping. Put “visited” for AK since I stayed on a cruise ship. tenpages.github.io/us-level/us....

If moving the rabbit ears on the TV didn’t work, you could try some aluminum foil.

Oh crap, I can post this here, too. Anyway — yeah. Signal boosting would be greatly appreciated. Trying to cast this net as far and wide as I possibly can.

Blocked yet another attempt at SQL injection on @fancons.com last night. It reminded me of a few years ago someone on a bug bounty site complained that his penetration testing attempts got him blocked…which, to me, is proof it’s working exactly as designed.

Me: "I'm finally catching up on my @fancons.com backlog! Only a few updates left to post..." [a million new updates are submitted within an hour] Me: "WHAT?!" 😫

I wrote section 230 to protect user speech, not a company's own speech. I've long said AI chatbot outputs are not protected by 230 and that it is not a close call. Given that the Trump administration is going to the mat to protect pedophiles, states should step in to hold Musk and X accountable.

Clowns will say it doesn't matter; we don't have the numbers to impeach. You get the numbers by FORCING THE ISSUE. You make NOISE, you DEMAND, you NEVER STOP YELLING. You do nothing? You get nothing. Ignore the clowns. Call your fucking reps and tell them to do their jobs and IMPEACH. reps.fyi

Fax your representative. This way you can send a PDF with “IMPEACH HIM NOW!” (and your other thoughts) written REALLY BIG!

This explains SO MUCH about Microsoft lately… 🤦🏻‍♂️

Well there’s a rather open-ended question that is inevitably going to make more work for me in some way… 😅

@joycewhitevance.bsky.social Is there a way my mother could get her copy of your book signed? I looked and didn’t see any upcoming signings listed anywhere. (If my last name is familiar, it’s because you knew my father.)

My sincere wish for all of us in 2026 is we all keep makin' art! Good, bad, stinky – it doesn't matter! Let's keep making things. ✏️💨

When my mother’s dog Fenway visits, this is what I see during every meal:

@shwood.com William Boyes’s proposed Washington monorail system just might be…[dramatic pause]…the world’s greatest con.

No idea. If some stranger gets upset, I just block them, move on, and never think about them again.

Last night, I noticed that my most popular web site was somehow my "CHiPs" site (which hasn't had any new content in 5+ years). Turns out it was 99.9% traffic from China. Turned on a Cloudflare rule to present an interactive challenge to Chinese traffic. (Orange is challenged, blue is legit.)

You've just opened up a STAR TREK-themed restaurant What are you calling it? BAR TREK - Like a sports bar, but all the TVs are playing Trek episodes constantly…except May the 4th, the ONE day we allow Star Wars to take over.

Dad loved playing Christmas music in the house on Christmas morning (and the weeks leading up to Christmas). After he died in April 2021, I found 5 Christmas CDs he had left in the stereo, ripped them, and made a playlist for our HomePod.

I’d rather listen to an AI-made podcast than Joe Rogan. …and I don’t want to listen to any AI-made podcasts.

Me when it happens

AI podcast startups are releasing “hundreds of thousands” of AI-generated episodes. The volume is so high that it’s “swamping” the industry. One company alone has published more than 200,000 episodes. machinesociety.ai/p/why-do-bra...

Apropos to a post I'm not going to quote: no, you are not fucking obliged to battle the fucking right on fucking social media, or go to where they are. Why make yourself miserable shouting at bots (who don't care) or trolls (who get off on your misery). Make your fucking social media enjoyable, FFS.

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

At @gallifreyone.bsky.social, @oldsixie.bsky.social got into an elevator I was in and said, “You’re tall!” At @dragoncon.org, Sylvester McCoy said I looked like his friend Stephen Fry.

It "rules" that AI slop can flourish and get paid out, meanwhile actual indie artists don't get paid by Spotify any more. I can't stress this enough, even Amazon, Google and Apple are better at paying out indie artists than Spotify - any service choose other than Spotify, will pay indies better:

I've done better on atProto than I have on just about every pure social media platform/protocol I've ever touched. I'd have to throw forums & music distro sites in to beat it, but that's apples & oranges. As such, yeah this place is where to connect now. Twitter & Meta platforms are DOA for reach.

These are the songs I’m listening to…

Remember: DO NOT LEAVE NEGATIVE REVIEWS OF A BOOK BECAUSE AMAZON DAMAGED IT!!!! This does NOTHING to affect Amazon, only the author who had nothing to do with the damage! Amazon has an extremely lenient return and replacement policy, PLEASE just use that instead.

I don’t get questions, but get this interaction EVERY TIME: Me: “I work for This Week In Tech, @twit.tv, it’s a tech podcast company.” Them: “Oh. My [son/nephew/grandson] does a podcast.”
