If you hate the nasty iWork update alert panel like I do, run this in the Terminal app (on macOS).

```
defaults write com.apple.iWork.Pages TSADisableUpdateNotifications -bool yes
defaults write com.apple.iWork.Keynote TSADisableUpdateNotifications -bool yes
defaults write com.apple.iWork.Numbers TSADisableUpdateNotifications -bool yes
```

High speed rail in Canada is a good investment. It’s the kind of ambitious nation-building that actually makes Canada more resilient etc. No surprise, far-right Pierre Poilievre says he’d cancel it, saying it will go over budget. Spoiler—it will. Just like EVERY car highway does. But he likes those.

Kamala Harris promised to end the Ukraine war by defeating Russia.

Trump promised to end the Ukraine war by doing nothing.

Putin has been killing Ukrainians for 1492 days, and it continues because Trump lets Putin continue.

Mr. Art Of The Deal can’t close the DHS deal, can’t close the SAVE Act deal, can’t make an Iran deal. He’s given up on Greenland and forgotten about Venezuela. His deals with law firms and universities are being nullified by courts. His fake US Attorneys are being disqualified by judges. His tariffs have been nullified by SCOTUS.

He’s not just a failure as a President, he’s not even a competent dictator.

After several months of umm-ing and ahh-ing, I handed in my notice at work this week.

If anyone knows of a Canadian company looking to hire a remote senior web developer who will NOT be working on LLM-related functionality (or be required to use LLM-based development tools), please point me in their direction. I've got 15 years of experience and love getting my teeth into technical problems.

Boosts most welcome. Thanks! #getfedihired

Iran is quite literally manipulating the world’s economy in this war by commandeering a strategic part of its supply chain. Gasoline is already expensive and in short supply. In a few weeks, everything from fertilizer to silicon chip manufacturing must ramp down. Then, food prices will rise everywhere due to fertilizer and transportation costs. And they’re making it clear that the US and Israel are to blame.

They are so good at this game.

And can we talk about how good their drones and missiles seem to be? There is plenty of footage floating around now that show these craft evading the Iron Dome interceptors. I wonder if both the US and Israel were surprised by just how sophisticated Iran’s (cheap) missiles are and how many of them have penetrated the (expensive) defense systems.
