Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov. A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world. It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it. A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

First full playtest of "Chain of Events" at All Day Disc Golf (www.alldaydg.com) in downtown Portland. It went really well, and got valuable feedback about content and cost, and a few suggestions about other places to try taking the game for demo/play testing. #discgolf #frolf #chainofevents

A way to think about "AI" is that it's like single-use plastic: Super-convenient, sold as disposable, designed to be used without much thought, and while it's easy to get annoyed with your mom for using it, the real problem are the dudes destroying the planet in order to keep shoveling it out

You can't tell me that in today's streaming media world that there isn't room for a canonical adaptation of Asimov's I, Robot. The framing narrative works and the anthologized stories would be interesting and topical with their exploration of the Three Laws and A.I.
