Baseball is a boring sport unless you have a tribal interest in the outcome which only comes from being born into it. You either love or hate the Dodgers and Yankees. Statistically you don’t know anything about the Brewers and never knew the Rays existed.

I’m pretty sure no other politician has ever had their own social media site that will shut down the day they die.

If there's one thing I value in all areas of my life is things happening organically. Bluesky is a liberal bubble, so what? It's better than being a Nazi bar. I don't feel like there's a need to cater to the other side. They can go to the hell site for that.

You either voted for Kamala or cancer. It was an IQ test. Did you pass?

To folks who follow me on Bluesky & appreciate the journalism I do. Can you please read the EPA story and post on social media platforms if you are so moved. This kind of work is important. But it only matters if people read it and engage with it. Here's the link. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

Yet another impeachable offense and yet another explanation of Trump’s foreign policy

This is the kind of deal the Democrats need to investigate immediately if they take Congress. An oil deal in Alaska which actually might be a gift to the Russians with Trump involvement. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

What I know from elders is mainly that if you want to keep living, don’t think about the past. Have a hobby or fulfilling work and don’t retire. Don’t waste your time looking at photos unless that’s part of a project.

When AI solves quantum gravity, people will raise their brows. When it solves faster than light communication, the rich will pull the plug so capitalism can prevail.

They don’t care about getting caught. The Supremes said he could do anything. This is exactly why you should never put anyone office above all others. Checks and balances. Idiots.

When told the aircraft had landed in EG, lawyers for Ahmed Soliman said they would file an emergency motion as soon as possible. This story is breaking and will be updated. prospect.org/2026/10/23/t...

6.1 Sol is garbage unless you’re using a high level framework like Ash that does everything correctly. Use opus 5.5 or Astra if you’re doing backend without Ash. I was a disbeliever but now I know that Sol is awful. I am awake.

I don’t believe in spec led development because decisions aren’t done until the code is. Sure, you can guess. You can recommend. But for any feature worth doing, you and now AI don’t know what you’re going to do or need until it’s done.

If only there was some form of document which enumerated the powers of the legislature.

Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

Treating certain humans as human has always been illegal.

#ResistanceRoots #Voices4Victory Today in history, 1960: The Greensboro sit-ins begin, with four Black students challenging the segregationist policies of F.W. Woolworth Co. They sat down at the Woolworth lunch counter and refused to leave when they were denied service. /1

This is enough detail even for models older than Opus 5.5. "Under /abstract, in the case drawer, there is a FAIL button that invokes a modal. There is a drop-down of failure reasons there addition to free-form text input. But when..."

...a task is failed via the FAIL button at the top of the /abstract page, a different modal is used that doesn't have fail reasons. Promote the fail modal to be common to both use cases."

Humans will survive, no matter what happens. Wanting billions to thrive is possible but the rich call it socialism and stomp it out however it manifests.

I wrote my own function to replace nonnull assertions but you don’t have to. Use is-kit instead. You can’t rely on typescript at runtime. Sometimes it’s not a problem that can be solved with Zod.
