I'm learning Danish, thus reading all the nyheder & online papers from Denmark I can. I'd never guess, based on such reading, that the country self-reports as the 2nd happiest in the world. Perhaps all the exposés of abuse, family crisis, endemic outrage, inverted priorities inoculate. Nordic noir?

Looking forward! "Now at 83, Wright is still the "Johnny Appleseed of Free Improvisation," as guitarist Davey Williams called him in the 80s, on the road as much as ever. He continues to inspire players outside music-school careerdom, playing sessions with visiting and resident players old and new."

As there's been no voter fraud committed by huge paid mobs of non-citizens ever; & this is known by all: the govt initiative to post armed ICE agents at polling stations must be political theater to rally the base, intimidate the meek, and force Dems to be seen as 'against fraud prevention', right?

For a certain kind of white man, there is no fear more primal than the fear that the people they have abused will gain power and treat them the same way.

AI data centers and the natural gas plants used to power them can be resisted. It takes bravery and community power. We look to Doña Ana County for inspiration in the continued fight against a billionaire takeover of our country. Small wins now will lead to big victories later. Keep pushing

No Kings march, Buffalo - from Niagara Square up Delaware. A good turnout given the cold & wind (it was snowing a bit!). Lots of creative and expressive signs, including "NOT TODAY SprAyTAN"... Saw a young man completely wrapped in the transgender flag, standing motionless for ages, bearing witness.

🚨 NEW — Statement from the family of Alex Pretti: "We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital... 1/
"We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man."

Jan-23-2026 "Among Hispanic voters who supported Trump, only 8% express outright regret and 19% are disappointed—meaning 27% total have soured on him, while 71% still feel positively about their choice. So roughly three-quarters of his Hispanic supporters are sticking with him." [Weareequis]

I'm sorry. As a technology writer, I'm supposed to be telling you that this bet will some day pay off, because one day we will have shoveled so many words into the word-guessing program that it wakes up and learns how to actually do the jobs it is failing spectacularly at today. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not. The difference between a human and a word-guessing program isn't how many words the human knows.

I'm sorry. I know that when we talk about "digital sovereignty," we're obliged to talk about how we can build more data-centres that we can fill up with money-losing chips from American silicon monopolists in the hopes of destroying as many jobs as possible while blowing through our clean energy goals and enshittifying as much of our potable water as possible.

Today I'd say the most perfect film I've seen is Kiarostami's 'Where Is the Friend's House?' True, it's very simple, minimalist, with low production values, so it sidesteps the 'dangers' of many movies. Yet its cinematic arc, casting, poetry, lens-spirit relative to its people & places - sublime.
