Detaining journalists for doing their jobs is unconstitutional and inexcusable. Press coverage of protests is essential — especially now in Los Angeles.

I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today. I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children. Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us. One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.

At this point, Mac is pretty much only going to be for professional activities, with iPadOS for just about everything else. Kind of a remarkable change but also it makes me a bit worried about the price I might pay for future Macs. #wwdc25

I had cause to interact with UCSF again today, and I came away feeling the same way I always do: they're incredible. I've never had a healthcare experience that's been as good. Not just in the US, where people seem to think healthcare is something only the privileged should have, but anywhere.

Hearing about solidarity protests elsewhere in the country. Is there a roundup somewhere?

My two year old just bounded into the living room and asked, "can you play the Dugga Doo song, Daddy?" Yes, child. You can.

I enjoyed this and recommend it as an overview of the shortcomings both of "AI" as a technology and, in particular, of the vendors who are currently giving us the hard sell. I liked the recommendation that smaller, more ethically-trained models for specific problems may be part of the solution.

Today was the fourth anniversary of losing my mother. She was her own person, and the best person. I miss her every day. The world was infinitely better with her in it.

I am not an Elon Musk fan, but rhetoric about deporting him is really disturbing to me. He's a US citizen. Folks leaning towards authoritarianism want to strip people of their citizenships. We shouldn't want the same, even for the very worst of us. Either we have principles or we don't.

It's not about one protocol; it's about the open social web as a people-centered movement. Bounce lets you move from service to service, keeping your network in the process. #Fediverse www.theverge.com/news/678928/...

"Own your own home," they said. "Build equity, don't pay rent," they said. I mean, who doesn't love multiple random five figure repair costs so far this year?
