Trump’s politics are mostly noisy false equivalence: constant distraction, grievance, and blame-shifting designed to avoid accountability for actual governance — especially the kind that might help ordinary people with the real struggles in their lives.

The endgame isn’t every prompt running in the cloud forever. It’s most everyday AI work running locally on our devices — private, instant, and free from the shackles of token economics.

Create the chaos. End the chaos. Declare victory. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Battery costs have followed an impressive exponential decline, but not as fast as classic Moore’s law. Still, for a physical industrial technology, this is extraordinary.

The pace of the snow melt in the Boston area has really picked up. Spring is out there somewhere!

Closing out the week with a quick video good night from IDC's Boston HQ. Hope everyone enjoys a great Presidents’ Day weekend — rest up and recharge and talk soon.

MAGA are just a bunch of angry hacks that have immense amounts of confidence in total incompetence!

Notice the pattern. Venezuela sidelined. Nigeria pressured. Greenland ogled. Canada undermined. Not “energy dominance” — energy gatekeeping. Throttle supply, pick winners, keep prices friendly for a select few (Russia, Saudi, etc). OPEC behavior, minus the minutes.

Breaking: The war on Christmas has concluded for another year. Christmas survived. Again. Awaiting confirmation on whether Trump brokered the peace.

The automobile defined the last century. Data, compute, and autonomy will define the next.

I’m not one who gets mesmerized by celebrities, but I wish I’d had the chance to meet Rob Reiner. His work mattered.

Spent part of the weekend rewatching This Is Spinal Tap — a reminder of how fearless and original Rob Reiner was. His work (Stand by Me, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally…, A Few Good Men) shaped generations of film. 1/2

RIP Frank Gehry — a visionary who turned steel, glass, and imagination into pure art. The Guggenheim Bilbao, the Stata Center, and so many others will keep inspiring us for generations. What an extraordinary legacy.

I wish I’d lived in an era when the future looked this cool — when technology felt like optimism instead of exhaustion.

Boston is closer to Europe than it is to California. In fact, Boston is closer to Reykjavík, Dublin, and even parts of mainland Europe than it is to much of California.

The way we continue to erode the economic foundation of the working and middle class, you’d think today’s corporate elite are betting that AI agents and robots will soon take over not just our jobs — but our role as consumers and debt holders too.

If U.S. healthcare spending matched peer nations (≈12% of GDP vs. 17.6%), we’d spend $1.5 T less a year — about the size of Australia’s economy. We pay the most, cover the fewest, and live shorter lives. That’s not freedom — that’s inefficiency.

Candy CPI up 9.8% year-over-year. This #Halloween, I’m implementing “micro-treats” to teach fiscal discipline. One M&M per trick-or-treater — inflation’s real, kids.

Only 4 of the 25 largest cities in the Americas are in the U.S. The rest? Latin America dominates this map. A reminder that while the U.S. leads economically, LA leads demographically. - U.S. metros sprawl across multiple cities - LA megacities are hyper-centralized - Population ≠ prosperity

Fun fact: Living presidents can’t appear on U.S. coins. So Trump’s commemorative silver dollar might have to feature his old friend Jeffrey Epstein instead.

Healthcare used to be a benefit. Somewhere along the way it became a privilege. In 2026, Obamacare premiums will rise 18%. For a 55-year-old Arkansas couple making $85K, premiums will jump from $7k this year $30k next year. How can the wealthiest country on the planet be okay with that?

Filled up my tank today — the only transaction all week that didn’t come with a follow-up survey. Way to go, ExxonMobil 👏

This game of pretending only one side commits political violence is reckless. The U.S. is a well-armed tinderbox, and most of us don’t have 24/7 security teams. Stop normalizing violence. Stop excusing it. We’re all at risk when this becomes partisan theater.

What if AI could be the grandchild with infinite patience? Imagine an LLM trained just for seniors — answering tech questions calmly, step by step, no sighs, no judgment. Resetting the Wi-Fi for the 17th time? Still cheerful. Explaining Zoom again? No problem. Huge market! Real need!

Here's an idea -- if you don’t want to be mocked on late night television, maybe stop saying stupid mockable shit 24x7

The Hyundai engineer fiasco is so damn embarrassing. Imagine being a pro business president and letting something like that happen on your watch. If I was Trump, heads would be rolling inside of customs and immigration enforcement. No excuses.

Being an early adopter means bragging rights… and endless waiting screens. My FIOS Wi-Fi is blazing fast, but Apple’s servers are saying that my phone needs two days and my Mac eight hours to update. Patience is the hidden cost of living on the bleeding edge. #earlyadopter #techlife

In today’s America, the line between racist and opportunist has nearly vanished. Too many are willing to exploit hate if it wins them power, clicks, or cash.

I wasn’t raised to identify with any specific religion or political party. I was raised to think for myself — and for that, I will be eternally grateful to my parents.

Three days in and the conspiracy mills are sputtering… because Kirk’s shooter won’t fit in a neat left/right box. That’s devastating for MAGA, which survives on victimhood and simple enemies. No box, no scapegoat, no comfort. Just chaos in their own house.

Charlie Kirk’s death could turn the conservative youth movement upside down — either cementing him as a martyr against Fuentes’ Groypers or hastening a split into warring factions.

They jump to mislead in moments of crisis because outrage is currency. Fear and fury lock in loyalty, drive clicks, and shift blame. Truth comes later — but by then, they have cashed the checks and the damage is done.

Matthew Dowd’s firing from MSNBC is further proof that the media’s attempts to placate the president to preserve access will never work. Appeasement only erodes trust — it never protects journalism. Dowd’s comments were far less provocative than anything that Charlie Kirk has said publicly.
