Started in #radio nearly 30 years ago, which transitioned to #podcast nearly 20 years ago. “Mac OS Ken” focuses on Apple news. “The Checklist by #SecureMac” focuses on security. Used to do a show about #StarTrek. These days, all I REALLY want to talk about are #bookbinding, #fountainpens, #postcards, and #stationery. Well… and #VR. And #AR. And #Apple and #podcasting and radio.

The image at the top is a collection of fountain pens on display. The icon is an electronics diagram of a resistor.

So - the states are expected to provide services formerly provided by the federal government, into which states and taxpayers in those states pay. Is the money being paid to the federal government going to be diverted to the states then? Or will President Smaug sit on it like so many gold tokens?

LinkedIn has helpfully pointed out a job it thinks would be perfect for me: music composer for a video production company. I’m slightly worried about my inability to read music or play an instrument, but I feel good about applying. Algorithm knows best.

The GOP plan for 2026 is voter SUPPRESSION. Georgia voters: Check your voter registration status at WeAll.vote/georgia and let your friends and family in Georgia know.

Feels accurate to think of LLMs / "AI" as enterprise-grade Lorem Ipsum

It must be crappy for the president when he realizes that foreign leaders won't simply roll over for him the way the Supreme Court, the GOP, tech billionaires, and the American media have.

Today is 30 days that the US military has occupied Los Angeles.

The fiscal hawks never for a moment think of the absurd amount of money being spent to terrorize civilians, children, harass families—all to satisfy the ego of an aspiring fascist. This is not freedom. This is tyranny. And unsurprisingly the NRA is nowhere to be found because they were never actually about anti-tyranny, they were always about pro white supremacy.
