Republicans ignored rising prices until Jon Husted started trailing Sherrod Brown. Now, six weeks before Election Day, the Senate GOP suddenly wants to look like it cares about affordability. Too late. Vote blue…and make their panic permanent. #USDemocracy #RisingBlue

In my seat on my way to #FABCON in Barcelona. Come talk to me about Microsoft Fabric, data security, data governance, patatas bravas, croquetas, and maybe cava, vermouth, and sangria, too.

Facebook really doesn't want you to see the new documentary exposing Elon Musk Neither do TikTok or Google or the eX social media site. Since they won't accept paid advertising, let's do some free advertising. Go see Musk in theaters October 9 www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

hollywoodreporter.com

The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)

YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

TRUTH. I very firmly believe that if you cannot pay every one of your employees a living wage, then you do not have a viable business model.

Do you have The Athletic app installed on your iPhone? Does it constantly sign you up for Live Activities (sports scores on the home screen) for teams you definitely don't follow? What's up with that!?

I just noticed that the Meta #Muse team specifically is using the name "Meta Superintelligence Labs" now. Was this always the name or did they actually adopt Trump's stupid re-brand of Artificial Intelligence as Super Intelligence?! #AI

That's right folks: #AI is now "SI"! "From this point forward, all of United States documents and hopefully the world's will be changed to use the much more accurate term 'super' as opposed to 'artificial,'" Mr. Trump said. "So it's super intelligence."

No dunk taken! I was specifically refuting Johnson’s claim in the video replied to that this was the most productive congress since 1949, which it obviously isn’t. They’re just straight up lying about objective facts.

Of course, the Bolivians already knew it was there; one of them already had it as a pet! At least we kept its native name.

a lot of folks are asking how someone can do something so "stupid" as hard coding a secret token, and i'm telling you that you are holding software developers and companies on way too high a pedestal if you still think there's secure, quality code being sent out into the world

This makes literally no sense at all. If we lived in a sane world crap like this would be disqualifying generally, not just for president! #uspol

Not having grown up in #Ohio I only vaguely remember the ship in the Scioto River in Columbus. But I do remember it. Kind of crazy that the Santa Maria has been rotting in a field for over a decade! www.columbusnavigator.com/san...

What Happened To The Santa Maria Ship In Columbus, Ohio?

The Santa Maria replica sat on the Scioto River from 1991 to 2014. It's still in pieces on a city lot. Here's what happened, what a rebuild would cost, and the last thing the city said about it.

I like the idea of Siri AI, and the way that Apple has walled-off personal data and compute. But so far it's not looking great in terms of usefulness and accuracy.

Stephen Foskett @stephen.fosketts.net · 15/09/2026

My first attempt at using Siri AI: I asked it to summarize my calendar today. It decided that I was recording a podcast with "Ben Shimmin" because the email was "bshimmin". Brad Shimmin is a co-worker. Siri refused to admit that it invented the name, Ben. It says it "assumed" that was his name.

It's worth remembering that the WOPR in WarGames had a lot of other options besides Global Thermonuclear War…

CHESS POKER
FIGHTER COMBAT
GUERRILLA ENGAGEMENT
DESERT WARFARE
AIR-TO-GROUND ACTIONS
THEATERWIDE TACTICAL WARFARE
THEATERWIDE BIOTOXIC AND CHEMICAL WARFARE
GLOBAL THERMONUCLEAR WAR

I did a somewhat deep dive into the recent OpenAI and Anthropic "hacks" for an upcoming interview. IMO, the AI companies are better off running with the "rogue AI" story because the real story is actually pretty embarrassing. Like making your Wi-Fi password "wifi" embarrassing. 🧵

I also got a #phishing email alleging to be from CoinTracking a few minutes later. Could their mail provider #Brevo have been hacked?

Stephen Foskett @stephen.fosketts.net · 09/09/2026

Now this one is serious. The #phishing campaign against #Trezor sent a legitimate email from their SendInBlue account. It's not a forgery. It passes DKIM. Looks like Trezor's mailing list account was hacked.

Given that the global Gross World Product is $180 trillion, I’d say the “AI will take over the world” crowd is vastly underestimating the TAM of their product. But the rest of us know this is all “supervillain marketing.”
