Mike Parsons @mmparsons.bsky.social · 28/09/2026@gruber.foo In re Watch privacy: After speaking with a lawyer friend, I am truly curious how Siri Recap will work in two-party consent states. Apple can delete and secure all they want, the act of recording itself is the crime. Someone is going to get hit with a wiretapping felony for using this. 000

Mike Parsons @mmparsons.bsky.social · 17/09/2026In HS, I was one of the better swimmers in NH. A "big fish in a TINY pond" situation, but I thought I was hot shit. My HS coach also coached a woman who was a 8x Olympic Gold medalist. She joined our HS practice one morning. I'll never forget how slow she made us look. She just crushed us. 000

Mike Parsons @mmparsons.bsky.social · 11/09/2026@liss.bsky.social @siracusa.social with regards to the Siri transcribe feature on the Watch series 12: I don’t know how that feature doesn’t run afoul of wiretapping statutes in 2-party consent states. Siri is about to be the proximal cause of a few million accidental felonies. 001

Mike Parsons @mmparsons.bsky.social · 03/09/2026He's pitching the same Third-Way ideas that have been trotted out every cycle since '92. Someone throws a new coat of paint on them and gets the media to cover it as "determined pragmatism" or somesuch bullshit. The only new thing here is that the messenger is an asshole. Excuse me, "pugnacious." 010

Mike Parsons @mmparsons.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I picked up "y'all" while living in the south, and it stuck. It's a much better solution than "yous," "yinz" (sorry Pittsburgh) or, even worse, the term that I grew up using in New England, "you guys." 132

Mike Parsons @mmparsons.bsky.social · 30/05/2026There’s two awful outcomes here. 1) Platner loses, with a decent chance this is the race that results in a 50-50 senate.
