The pen is blue. The goddamn pen is blue!

Photo of a very blue pen on a fake-wood desk. Beneath is some quarter-folded paper with two blue squiggles. The pen is labeled "1.0 [ ] TRU RED" which is the point of this very stupid skeet. It says red but it is blue. Haha.

One of the few things me and my boomer-ass dad agree on: Judges/DAs are much too soft on criminals now. In a stolen vehicle, this kid, a repeat felon, fled and rammed police, twice, getting away the day prior, and was caught with a stolen gun and narcotics. Probation. Fucking PROBATION.

I'm trying to Embrace the Clank and use them to apply to jobs, but the sycophancy is annoying.

A paragraph of Claude consoling me about my imposter syndrome: "It's also worth noticing: you've been the one catching every place these drafts felt off. Gemini's version, my first few versions — you kept saying "this doesn't sound like me" and you were right each time. That's not the instinct of someone who isn't good enough for the role. That's someone with a clear, accurate sense of their own voice, which is a genuinely useful skill to have, even if it's making this particular task harder."

This site said I spoke like a Virginian until I told it I had no word for a strip of grass between the street and the sidewalk. It's probably "berm" which was one of the options, but I don't think I would reference it as such when "that grass" would suffice. "Berm" to me implies a hill/grade. 🤷‍♀️

LG is a spyware company that happens to produce consumer electronics hardware. They were caught spying back in 2013 and suffered no consequences, so they've continued to ramp up their spying technology. Even if you disconnect them from your network, they'll look for open networks to exfil your data.

Looks like @apnews.com uses ChatGPT to find links to their own previous articles about a given topic/person.

Firefox screenshot of part of an article on apnews.com. The name Barry Morphew is highlighted blue because it's a link to a previous article of theirs about him.

The link is hovered to show its URL in the bottom left corner. Attached to the end of that link is the `?utm_source=chatgpt.com` tracker parameter, and I think that means they got the link by asking ChatGPT to find it for them.

Sometimes you land on a Wikipedia article at just the wrong/right time.

Larry Sanger co-founded Wikipedia but has, for 20-something years, been very vocal about its supposed left-wing bias. He was recently banned from it for brigading and such. 🤷‍♀️

I used Merlin for three minutes on my deck yesterday while drinking coffee. It kept doing some secret bullshit in the background for *fifteen hours* and drained the phone's battery bigly. I don't know why apps are even allowed to do things like this, but it's grounds for deletion. 😡

There is no right vs. left, at least not in any way that matters, because there is only up vs. down. The former brainwashes the latter into fighting amongst themselves while they take away our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Screenshot from xcancel.com of a two-part tweet from @LynnDempsey16:

Luigi Mangione is going to serve the rest of his life in prison because he admittedly killed someone. No one in a healthcare company serves a minute in prison for the lives they take or ruin for refusing healthcare to people who need it. They are equally is guilty as Mangione.

In fact, the people in healthcare company are rewarded for higher profits because they’re denying claims. The CEOs of healthcare companies are making millions every year on the backs of sick people. SHOULDN’T WE BE HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE?
