but I've noticed that the heat from the audience somehow seems to waft onto the stage, making it hotter at the front than in the audience!?

I’ve now lived so much longer than I would ever have expected to that I feel I’m living in the future. This is when I imagined Neuromancer happening. And now the creators of today’s AI warn us that it threatens humanity.

Spent all day in Vancouver riding around on a rented e-bike and I gotta say: riding around a city on an electric bike on good protected bike infrastructure is just about the most fun you can have with your pants on.

Wow. An activist was running GrapheneOS on his phone, and when the border guards seized his phone and demanded his password, he gave them his "duress password" instead, triggering a complete wipe. This case is probably going to set a precedent. techcrunch.com/2026/07/24/u...

Housing first wins. Period. No if, no ands, no buts. No lengthy, opaque bureaucratic process. No farming out outreach to shady NGO’s. No work requirements. No mandatory drug tests. Just get them in housing. It makes dealing with all their other problems infinitely easier.

I sincerely hope for the best case scenario that you describe. Because I can think of lots of things Bluesky could do to trap people on their servers and keep them from escaping, or lock external people like you out of their service. I really hope none of those things happen.
