Aww yeah, this is the option I’ve been waiting for. I never ever ever want the audio output to change automatically if I’m already listening to something on headphones. It can be found here:

“We have no choice” is explicitly totalitarian. It’s anti-freedom, it’s anti-democratic. In a free society with a government of the people we ALWAYS have choices, many of them bad, and all with benefits and consequences.

A leader who says “we have no choice” is a tyrant.

iOS is set to filter out unknown senders, but this one got through to my main list because… it used the word “tomorrow” so it’s time sensitive? 🤦

Oh my gosh so my four-year-old just had a potty accident. As I’m cleaning it up, completely unprompted he says:

“Why did I have an accident?…
Why do people go potty?…
Why are people on earth?…
Why is there earth?…
Without earth we would be floating in space!”

“Let’s put on a different shirt.”

“Like what?”

“Just something a bit fancier.”

“Like what you’re wearing?”

“Sure.”

“So you want me to look like I’m from the 60s?”

Dialup AOL, still chugging along, is finally being discontinued next month. It’s the end of an era, even though nearly everyone already moved on long ago. I met my high school sweetheart and future wife on AOL, and we maintained a long distance relationship over IMs for several years before living together. We just celebrated our 17th anniversary a few days ago. You never know what technology will change your life.

We all know how WWII Japanese internment was evil, but we wake up every morning now, knowing thousands of decent people are already unfairly imprisoned in ICE detention. And it's continuing. 2025 is such a disaster and I still can't believe Americans are doing this.
