What makes MCP appealing is the adoption of existing technologies, including JSON-RPC, to close a feature gap, mainly the need to fetch external data and call other tools. The ability to build extensions and integrations using existing technologies is the big win in my opinion.

1. Today, the Trump administration's HHS Dept., under RFK Jr., released a review of transgender healthcare. It has no authors. It pushes pseudoscience and conversion therapy. It does not follow a scientific process. My fact check of the Trump HHS review. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Leaked memo from the Shopify CEO about AI contains a bit about not learning AI prompting leading to stagnation. This is a viewpoint of someone not steeped in humanities. Honestly, USE of AI will LEAD to stagnation. If you don't regularly exercise your brain, you will lose skill. Every time.

Yup. The US Digital Service was formed from Big Tech SREs. Top level SREs really are elite level problem solvers and trouble makers of the highest order. Many are trans, queer, or at the very least, care about LGBTQIA people, and will end you if you talk disrespectfully about them.

It’s not time to impeach, yet. We need full adjudication that at least some of the EOs directed illegal actions — then file impeachment using them as a the basis. This is how we prevent this behavior in the future.

Social security is a set of trust funds with a balance of about $2.7 trillion as of December 2024. We are the source of these funds. It belongs to us. These funds should be protected so we can protect each other. www.ssa.gov/oact/progdat...
