Trillions of dollars and sometimes all I think we’ve done is made it impossible for humans or machines to view web pages.

The Cayenne is not a small car, but still I cannot see over the hoods of “light trucks”.

“All em-dashes in these slides were human-generated.”
Photo of a man at a podium, standing in front of a giant screen containing a presentation he is making to an off-camera audience. At the bottom of the screen, a footnote says "All em-dashes in these slides were human generated." A headline reads "Em dash disclaimers are now showing up in presentations" (essentially narrating what the photo already shows us).

Tired: “we can have summers like this!” (Record heat) Wired: “we can have winters like this!” (Also record heat!)

A little irritated that, despite endless advertising and the appearance of availability, you can’t actually order cars in custom colors. Not without buying at least a dozen Cayennes or something first.

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...
So let me say it as clearly as I can: Without basic scientific research, supported by the kind of farsighted public investment that allows large-scale, undirected, curiosity-driven inquiry, the scientific pipeline will run dry.
In daily life, people may not feel the effects right away, or even in 10 years. But we will feel it. And when someone we love needs therapies that could have emerged but didn't or when other countries now
investing in science can launch new science-based industries or run their societies on vast resources of fusion energy or reap the benefits of quantum computing power or advanced medical breakthroughs, America will wish it sustained its leadership in scientific research here and now.
Sally Kornbluth is the president of MIT.

Inconvenience? I just had to dig seven pages deep to find the unsubscribe for one of the four TV subscriptions I need, I'm measured & optimized against in my supermarket, lamps, music, games, and travel. Every service I love gets enshittified to buy billionaires yachts worth 100 times my house.

“Depression can be seen as a category that manages and medicalizes the affects associated with keeping up with with corporate culture and the market economy or with being completely neglected by it.” - cvetkovich. this is a strange book but I like a lot of the themes in it.

I want more cars that don’t require the entirety of AWS to turn on (and monetize me) and come with a million cameras. I’d pay extra for something like an R1S with zero connectivity abilities and zero cameras.

Open up this picture fully. Then look at the surface of Mars. Then look up to the top right. Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky. Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos. That's Earth.
A forlorn landscape of layered rocks in the foreground, with hills fading into the background haze. At upper top right, a small crescent moon, and a bright star.

Drove into Boulder, bought a Judas Priest CD at a shop for $5, had some Audrey Jane’s, drove the Cayenne home with the album blasting. Life is alright.

Due to (mostly) planned maintenance on the Cayenne, been driving the M2 and Celica a bit more the last few days and enjoying the weather. The manual transmission is lovely. Hydraulic steering is wonderful. Engines that need to rev a bit are so much more engaging.

Had to stop by the BMW dealer for some fluids I thought I had but didn’t, guy behind me in the parts line was surprised to come across someone who worked on their own M2 comp. Chatted a bit about beater JCWs and all. Good day.

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

Turns out the goal is not to have the lowest mileage Porsche but rather the highest. I remember stumbling across a for sale listing for a 997 with 250k, one owner. That’s it, that’s how it’s done.

@ericmbudd.com something I feel you might have a lead on, like 10 year ago some Pearl design studio had some national park style global warming art hanging in Ozo for a bit, like, “come learn the history of snow!” I’d love to track this down again if it exists?

“My point is that translating your language through AI is a lost opportunity to cultivate the sweetness within you. With your own words, connecting to the words of others, we can use stories for what they are for, which is to link ourselves with the stories of the people around us.” Excellent.

Meredith has always been a G, but it's still exceptionally weird and very refreshing hearing from a tech exec who can see through all of this AI bullshit for what it is at its foundation: a backdoor surveillance tool.
