People routinely confuse "Rule of Law" with "Law and Order." The rule of law means the law, as written, spells out exactly when the law is broken and what the consequences are. No interpretation needed. "Law and order" is 'well behaved people obey the law.' They are different.

We all stand to lose more in an actual fight than anyone will have left to gain from "winning" a pyrrhic victory.

You want to know what decreases click-through rates from google to paid media sites? Paywalls. Not AI. It's the paywalls.

mRNA treatments (whether you think they should be called vaccines or not,) are a breakthrough, cheat code, that unlocks our own biology as a weapon against disease. I don't think people should be forced to take them, but lets don't throw them out and miss a huge opportunity.…

Is nobody else alarmed or bothered by the fact that the stock market seems to treat bad news as good news in anticipation of interest rate interventions, or quantitative easing? Seems hardly sustainable.

My least favorite trope in police/detective TV dramas is that they forgot to check in with dispatch with their location before entering a dangerous place. The episode turns on people not knowing where they are. Just radio in ahead and the whole plot falls apart. Sloppy writing.

Grok is god-awful horrible at knowing who said what in a thread and misattributes everything to the wrong people. It's really stupid. It gets it wrong nearly EVERY time. Makes me want to unsubscribe.

Naw, I'll wait for the A, or skip till the 11. Battery life isn't a problem for me on the 9. I don't play games. I block background data for apps, so they don't kill it. I'm not paying another $1k, while I'm still paying off the 9 pro for another couple months (at least.)

I'm a fan of GPT-5. I'm a software dev, so my perspective is somewhat limited, I guess. But I don't expect a model to invent new physics (today) and it's fucking bang on at coding... so... I'm actually pretty happy it won't kiss my ass.

The only thing all school shooters have in common is that they're marginalized by their peers. They're treated like shit and this is how they react. I'm not apologizing for them, but I am saying that demonizing people further is not going to solve the problem.

Solar is as close to "free" energy as we are could ask for. It's literally floating through space and we just need to collect it. It's stupid to pass this up.
