I hope New England’s governors and members of Congress are talking to their Canadian counterparts. We get most of our electricity from Canada. It was 11 degrees last night in Hartford and -2 in Portland. www.cbsnews.com/news/tariffs...

I get that people are paying more attention to Trump’s actions on immigration, DEI, federal employees, pardons, etc. because they have real effects on people’s lives. But the TikTok reprieve is actually his most direct assault on the Constitution … and nobody’s taking about it.

We won’t have a President, but at least Gen X got the timing of jeans fashion right: Baggy in our awkward school age years, skinny in our prime dating and mating years, baggy again for our late middle age

“…peer reviewers often accept review invitations when they lack relevant methodological expertise… In response…many [authors] knowingly compromised the methodological integrity of their research...” We laugh it off as the “Reader #2” problem, but it’s bigger than that

Seems like WordPress/Automattic just made the mistake of not trademarking “WP” at the start and now regrets the oversight. At the same time, WP Engine is surely trading on marketplace confusion. No good looks here. www.theverge.com/2024/12/10/2...

It’s one thing to be sued by a tiny outfit like the New York Times. It’s another to be sued by Sony, EA, or Nintendo. Even with its deep pockets, a law suit by the gaming industry would be something for OpenAI to worry about. techcrunch.com/2024/12/11/i...

Can’t help feeling that Bluesky is a dream. A place I visit in sleep. My old friends are here. I feel younger, ready for change. But it ends, because that’s not the world. That world, that Internet, is past. The day intrudes, the day we have to face.
