Rewatched Pluribus and was struck by 1. How much the conversations with the Others reminds me of LLMs: the world’s knowledge, yet still limited, all in a charming but unsettling package and 2. How much I realllllllly want season 2 to come faster. #Pluribus #TV #AppleTV

I hate relying on Amazon healthcare but I gotta say, it feels like magic that I can message One Medical on a Saturday and two hours later have a flu antiviral scrip. (I’m also mad that this feels like magic. Shouldn’t this just be how all medicine works?)

Roughly a century ago, labor organizing gradually, but successfully, reduced the 6-day work week to a 5-day work week. On this labor day, I’d like to suggest that it’s time to seriously push for a 4-day work week. chromamine.com/2026/09/we-should-al… #labor #politics #ai

I can confirm that Opus 5 is pretty good at writing OpenSCAD. For better or worse, that was one of the last things that I was writing mostly by hand. I expect I'll still write a bunch of it by hand when the details are easier for me to express in code than plain language, but it has definitely […]

I thought Brand New Day was pretty good. I liked some of the other Holland Spider-Man movies better, but on the scale of Marvel films, I enjoyed this quite a bit. The surprise character reveal was a really fun moment that I’m especially surprised didn’t get spoiled for me in advance. #film #marvel

Just remembering this passage from Mark Bittman’s original edition of How To Cook Everything which was clearly written while he was depression eating an entire bowl of cherries.

Cherry
Sadly, I think most of us have missed out on the really good cherries; this is the fruit of romance, of fairs, of paradise. Yet none of the cherries we are able to buy come close. Yes, there's an occasional one or two in the batch that makes us pause and think, "Oh. Now I remember why I love these." But these days the fact is that a bowl of cherries is a lot like life—fairly mundane, with some high spots.
