Sometimes I close my eyes for longer than 30 seconds during the day and I notice how weird and tiring it is that we keep our eyes open _all day long_

I’m so relieved the midterms brought more politicians willing to stand up and dismantle the current leadership’s destructive actions and policies. I’m also sad that many anti-trans measures drew public support. https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/11/the-blue-wave-delivered-mixed-results-for-anti-trans-ballot-initiatives/ As a nation we still need to listen more, be less afraid of new perspectives, and stand up for those who’ve had to...

If you’re a US citizen, please go vote today! And please do enough reading/prep beforehand that there’s a reasonable chance your vote lands in favor of humane treatment of all people, protecting our environment, indigenous land rights, rights for minorities, and a gov’t that pursues peace.

Our political and economic systems are cracking and failing under the strain of colossal supersonic growth. But we can wake up. Growth is a tool. We need to use it to serve people and planet, not sacrifice ourselves and surroundings to its appetites. https://youtu.be/z-_S8ftF450?is=NEDRQdJxQcY8sF3o

Degenerative Pixels is showing up again with more thought-provoking songs. Cynical, sarcastic, catchy, playful. The fact of their music existing as AI creations, contrasting with the human-oriented lyrics invites the listener to grapple with a tension between wonder and despair. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRc_Qs62vaw&list=RDfRc_Qs62vaw&start_radio=1

Another big security exploit was discovered, this time in PHP itself. But if you're running on WordPress.com, we've got you covered. https://automattic.com/2026/10/21/your-sites-are-protected-against-the-php2shell-vulnerabilities/

After all these years, I finally ended up installing Arch Linux on a laptop. Well, sorta… https://omarchy.org/ What was great this time around was handing my AI model SSH access to debug and fix the broken installation). I do not miss spending hours searching blogs and forums for arcane commands to fix broken package links...

My hat is off to Noah Eckstein for this short & potent senior address. My favorite line: "Peace through understanding can survive conflict, while peace through agreement lasts only as long as everyone keeps agreeing." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz_iIA3kaLI

I couldn't find an RSS feed for Figma's dev blog either, can you? https://www.figma.com/blog/engineering/

I'm so surprised and bummed that Anthropic's blog doesn't have an RSS feed. It's a great standard that supports the open web and free flow of information, but folks are forgetting about it. 🙁

I've never heard a song so packed with ultra geeky science and programming references. AI Music and video production have problematic effects. And they are also opening a world of art to niches, interests, individuals that couldn't afford to be expressed or experienced in art like this before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_ErmTs7g9I

This guy is so well spoken. I'm a big fan of the positive changes AI has made in my life, and optimistic about what good things the future could hold. But we need to move slowly enough that we're designing systems and incentives that protect _people_, not IPOs. https://substack.com/@justindeschamps/note/c-326587767?r=2v9qcv&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action

Tool libraries look fantastic. I didn't know about them before watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAniGCwoSv0 but I looked them up and I have a local one that started this year. What a cool way to reduce consumer trash.

I spend so much time typing to AI bots these days that I get a sort of social vertigo when I'm on a support chat with a real human. I already practice being polite with bots because I like to, but when a human is on the other end I have to remember not to...

Kudos to Turo today. I had to cancel a non-refundable trip a few weeks from now, and they allowed me to ask the car’s owner if they were willing to do a full refund. The owner was very understanding, and they give me a full refund right away. Really boosts my willingness to use Turo...

Kalil's articles are important takes on history that the current US Gov't is trying to tear down in an attempt to preserve and consolidate their power. They are using the same tactics that other high-control cult-like groups use. Read people like Kalil to keep perspective: https://historycanthide.substack.com/p/the-trump-administration-targeted

My previous post about Zanagrams.com made it sound like I’d built it. Sorry! I didn’t build it, just enjoyed it.

Whoops, looks like Crusoe’s reporting leaves something to be desired. I went far over my target billing limit before seeing any usage on the dashboard, and before being notified.

I've been playing with pointing my coding harness to Crusoe Cloud's models, since Crusoe harnesses otherwise overlooked energy sources. I'm surprised 😮 by how fast their version of Kimi K2.6 is ⚡ https://console.crusoecloud.com/

We need to be transitioning off of our dependence on big oil, not giving them new exceptions to extract profit from endangered nature. Please weigh in, either by calling your reps or using this site: https://earthjustice.org/action/no-shortcuts-for-oil-and-gas-companies
