I wonder why POTUS hasn't already asked his billionaire buddies at Alphabet to "do me one favor, though," and block Kimmel's YouTube channel. Is it because Paxton is a sloppy dresser? Are Alphabet hedging their bets by not complying in advance? ... or is it to identify viewers?

I listened to Claire Stapleton's audiobook ("Don't Be Evil") over the weekend. Pretty good on the whole. The vibe of "downfall from the feel of optimism" (still palpable when I started in 2011) to "just another megacorporation with all that implies" (when the book ends in 2019) resonated strongly.

"Mistakenly, we thought that by just introducing artificial intelligence and ingesting the design requirements that we had, that that would produce a high-quality product." Holy cow, Ford bought the AI hype, believing they could go "hey computer, make me a good car" and it would.

Bluesky is good many things. But it’s pretty bad at sharing pieces of writing that are not about political anger but it’s worth your time to take a few minutes – more than a few minutes honestly but it’s worth it – and read this. And then share it. Like I’m doing now.

It would be a shame if this interview that CBS wouldn't air -- which happens to be on YouTube instead -- got massive views because of the government censorship. You probably shouldn't pass it around, Brendan Carr might be unhappy.

“It’s pretty black and white. I mean, it’s on a plaque, you know, at West Point,” [Senator Mark Kelly] said, referring to the Loyalty to the Constitution plaque... “When the law and orders are in conflict, you follow the law.” How long before they remove that plaque, I wonder.

Don't change the pdf extension on some of the Epstein files to make them viewable videos! Not only disturbing, but also exposes you to criminal prosecution, if you retain them on storage media you own. open.substack.com/pub/annepmit...

About the Epstein File PDFs that are Actually Movies - DON'T DO IT!! DON'T VIEW THEM!

People have discovered that there are dozens - maybe hundreds or even thousands - of files in the Epstein files release that are actually videos or images, but “mislabelled” as .pdf files.

I worked on a software engineering contract at PacBell in San Ramon for a few months in the early 90's. Scott Adams was still working there, though his star had definitely begun to rise, and he was beginning to see a real income from it. "Dilbert" cartoons were visible in every cubicle. /1

It seems weird to me that Trump disliked the Time cover because of neck folds. I disliked it because it made him look serious and statesmanlike, instead of how he usually comes across: deranged, incoherent, and bloated, with dandelion-fluff hair and splotchy, poorly-applied orange makeup.

What did Kimmel say that Carr objected to? He didn't talk about Charlie Kirk, or his alleged assassin. He said the GOP was lying about who the alleged assassin was. He chuckled about them "scrambling," mocked their weakness and ineptitude. That's what set them off.
