To recap the current situation: Obama cut a deal with Iran to limit their uranium enrichment. It worked.

Trump withdrew us from that deal. Iran restarted its nuclear weapons program leading to the point they got close enough to an A bomb that the Israelis attacked. Also, Trump is not up to the task of handling this and it probably wouldn’t be happening if his incompetent ass and administration weren’t in the White House.

If you're in the press and not connecting these simple dots, quit.

I don't usually share Substack links, but this piece by former NYT columnist Paul Krugman, Distinguished Professor of Economics and winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics, is important. Krugman makes a convincing case that the President is planning the biggest heist in history.

Fitting for an admirer of Al Capone, no? America elected an actual gangster, 34-times convicted felon and criminal extortionist to run their country, and 40+% of Americans still approve.

I'm starting to really like 'vibe coding'...

I've now had several clients come to me to take over projects that another agency was working on because the other agency started using generative AI. Apparently there was a real drop in product quality. I wonder why.

Basically vibe coding is making me money specifically because I'm not using it.

Canadians using Twitter/X are being bombarded by misleading right-wing posts designed to boost Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and tarnish the reputation of Mark Carney.

The FT’s analysis finds a growing volume of that misinformation is coming not from Russia or China, but the United States.

Everyone needs a hobby. My friend's hobby is trawling through Spotify looking for publicly editable "Sex playlists". Then he adds Yakety Sax (also known as the Benny Hill theme) somewhere in the middle. Not my fess, definitely posting for a friend.

Two weeks ago I went to an Old Time jam. Two dozen musicians in a circle playing banjos, mandolins, guitars, an upright bass, a slide guitar. Teaching each other 200-year-old songs.

They gave me a literal block of wood and a xylophone hammer. I uncharacteristically ignored my terror of performing to cluck clock along. Transcendent experience.

Last night I bumped into a lady who was there. HEY YOU WERE THE GUY PLAYING PERCUSSION YOU WERE AMAZING!

It felt like I was Buddy Rich winning a grammy
