"I have found some web results. I can show you if you ask again from your iPhone." Why has Siri gotten so much worse on my HomePod? Why would I ever buy Apple's pending home device -- the "iStupid"? Regret getting rid of my Alexa devices.

Maybe I’m dense, but the GOP talking heads say we’ve won the war and Iran’s military has been obliterated. How can they close the Straights? Just ask nicely?

I am convinced that Hegseth believes he flamed out of his military career as as a major because he’s a white man — with no recognition that he was, (obviously, at best, mediocre

When they renamed DoD, I thought it was just little men acting tough. I never thought we'd start an offensive war. It's not a "limited action" when we are sinking ships with no long-range capabilities. What are the Navy's current rules of engagement? www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

So what happens? We eliminate a functioning government and then expect the right thing -- by our standards -- to happen. How does the violence end? Who do we negotiate with? I was not a fan of the Iraq war, but at least there seemed like a plan.

I've been playing with Claude's planning mode. Their plan is a great thought process and documentation model for developers. The vast majority of devs don't think through that level of planning enough. We can learn from AI...

I have no idea if the strikes in Nigeria against ISIS meet the traditional bar for an offensive use of lethal force. I do know that Trump's anti-immigration efforts are specifically targeting Christians -- primarily Catholics.

As a former Surface Warfare Officer who boarded suspected Venezuelan drug boats, I am not sure what I’d do if I got a potentially illegal order to blowup a boat that’s not an overt threat and with no due process. Are officers resisting?

In the early 1990s I was involved in numerous LEO (law enforcement operations) missions with USCG boardings from a USN warship. We couldn’t board Venezuelan flagged vessels without their government’s permission. When we did board, the intel was routinely wrong and there were no drugs.

I am sure that DC would love more money for community policing — even in areas like Union Station. Rather than a military state that our founding fathers would hate, fund more healthy policing.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.
