It is impossible to overstate how stupid and horrifically bad this OMB memo is. This falls squarely in the bracket of, "Don't break things you don't understand."

Saw a headline that "Republicans are struggling" to explain DJT's pardoning of the Jan 6 domestic terrorists. But he said he would do exactly this. They didn't use the past few months to think about it? If you can't muster a backbone, at least contemplate your bootlicking.

I suppose banning TikTok might appear to be addressing the threat to people that have no idea how any of this works. To me, it's just a really quick way to teach young people concepts like "VPN" and "side loading". Security theater is exhausting.

This is pretty rough. I just wanted to play with mixing up different chord voices NGS and picking patterns in a simple song. I rushed it in places, and my voice is awful. But, it's an idea. youtu.be/_tJirtR9OwY?...

Jimmy Carter, while not my favorite POTUS from a policy standpoint, was probably the most honorable man to hold the White House. Today's a sad day in America, not just because we lost a great man, but also because it underscores just how far we have fallen. We used to elect people of conscience.

Guitar acrobatics and improvised Jazz Fusion in this one by Capital Culture. It's a special album. Good friends of mine. We locked in one weekend and they improvised for a couple of days. These were the magic one takes. #BandcampFriday #JazzFusion capitalculture.bandcamp.com/album/capita...

As I finish up my final grading I am reflecting on the sheer massive number of hours this year we educators have spent providing thoughtful and thorough feedback to work that was ultimately spewed from ChatGPT. There's a cheating epidemic in higher Ed right now, and it's not just tech-driven.

Two hours practicing with the band today, another two hours of my own practice. Plus some noodling ... Practically spent the whole day so far playing guitar. Good to get this in before finals week and the grading gauntlet.
