Proud father and husband. I'm an I.T. Generalist with over 15 years experience. Canadian.

You're not an ant, go change your own oil, build a patio, cook a meal, paint something.

The point isn't that you do everything well, it's that you enjoy the experience and try.

USA promised to defend Afghans if they helped us against Taliban—then Trump backed out.

USA Promised to help Kurdish allies in Syria—then Trump backed out.

USA promised to defend Ukraine if it gave up its nukes—now Trump is backing out.

Trump has further turned the world against us. We are not safer.

I'm very sick of hearing news not referring to Israel/Hamas as a genocide. If we can't agree on the truth of the matter then we need not discuss it. And I cannot believe anything more from news organizations or people in general that are unwilling to agree on the truth.

I continue to be negative about generative AI assistants insofar as every time someone has written a piece of any length "co-written by an AI" it has all sorts of errors I point out the author hadn't even noticed were there

Most irritatingly is that MULTIPLE TIMES people have written drafts about my work that simply injected and made up history. If they had just published them, that history would be cyclically referenced in the future as if fact

That kind of thing just happens all the time now

Got to catch up with @jeffjarvis last week and, per usual, he had clear and pointed comments like "Mass media is dying and human media is replacing it." Which is of course why the fediverse and open social platforms are so critical. Was a fun conversation, thanks Jeff for making the time!

I'm sorry, but forcing people to install an app to track a package is just an asinine concept. And the permissions on it tell me it's less about me finding a package and more about selling my identity.

Ever look around and just ponder when it's all going to fall apart here as "we the west" embrace hate en mass?

This nation was founded on a simple yet profound principle: No one is above the law.

So today, I'm calling for three bold reforms to restore trust and accountability to the court and our democracy.

1. No more immunity for crimes a former president committed while in office
2. Term limits for Supreme Court justices
3. A binding code of conduct for the Supreme Court

Read more about how these actions would strengthen the guardrails of our democracy here: wapo.st/4c9ertE

Joe Biden: My plan to reform the Supreme Court and ensure no president is above the law

We can and must prevent the abuse of presidential power and restore the public’s faith in our judicial system.

Iowa's abortion ban will take effect beginning today.

The state now bans most abortions after about six weeks, before many Iowans would even know they’re pregnant.

Remember that Donald Trump said states banning abortion was "a beautiful thing to watch."
