This hotel room doesn't have a fan I can run to mask sounds from the hallway, but it does have a smart TV that allows me to cast the audio from a white noise app.

America today is a country where regulators won't allow private companies to air interviews of the opposition on TV, but declare that taxpayer funded propaganda is fine.

My greatest frustrating has been with policy wonks who persist in thinking we can just keep doing normal policy analysis ("calling balls and strikes") in this situation. The President of the United States is both lawless and out of his mind. That preempts all normal discussion.

I finally heard Ella Langley's Choosin' Texas. It's pleasant enough to hear once. Otherwise it sounds like Temu Kacey Musgraves.

One thing that always annoys me about car navigation apps is their tendency to direct drivers away from main roads onto side streets to save a few tenths of a mile. I don't want to increase car traffic in some sleepy neighborhood. Yesterday's unnecessary detour alarmed me when I saw the route.

An absolute chasm of a pond along a back road near the Massachusetts/New Hampshire border.

Under a new rule, if your degree doesn’t make enough money, you won’t be able to get a student loan.

There's no denying a lot of time has passed since events we dinosaurs still consider "not that long ago." On the other hand, old now feels more vital and in touch with modern life than old back then. So it balances out.

Meta and X have been quietly downranking external links for ages, but we're now entering a new era of open hostility toward the open web. It's a great time to build your own website, free from any billionaires demanding a tithe for things that have always been free.

It's worth playing with iOS 27's new Custom EQ settings if you have compatible AirPods Pro. I plugged in my AirPods case, left it next to my phone for 15 minutes, and the firmware version updated. I thought the sound quality was decent before, but it's amazing what a few simple sliders can do.

You're watching a sand bubbler crab hard at work. And bubbler crabs have one job: make balls. Lots of balls. With your mouth parts. They're filter-feeders/detrivores, combing through damp sand for microscopic food & the balls let them organize the "cleaned" sand so they don't nom it twice.

Tree House in Sandwich is a great place to watch some weather roll through.

A view of Cape Cod Bay looking east. No rainbow, sadly.

I'm not sure if this is an actual weather front passing overhead. The clouds look amazing.

I'm old. Here's an accurate account: we all experienced the profound trauma of watching thousands of horrific deaths on a random Tuesday morning. We were gripped with fear that other attacks were planned. Racists capitalized on that fear for years, to turn us against each other. Many of us resisted.

A beautifully shaped iceberg with a large green underwater base, our red sails boat standing between 2 parts of the iceberg, the whole scene wrapped into thick fog with just enough light entering. Photography, no ai.

I'll never relate to how some people choose to interpret the idleness of others as laziness and assign them something to do. The choice to simply exist and enjoy the moment is an affront to those who resent the circumstances of their own lives.
