A very strange phenomenon that I think doesn’t yet have an adequate explanation.
Got Who
This is clown liberals trying to engage in “gotchas.” And has nothing to do with what actual immigration policy should be, of course. The libs are so eager to protray themselves as the righteous, good people, they have no standards at all for what would benefit the nation or its existing populace. It’s virtue signaling all the way down.
Buy the G
I’m not in favor of invading Greenland.
However, I’m definitely for buying it. Even if it’s a little forced, in a way. It’s better than China and Russia being de facto in control of the island, which is what’s most likely to occur otherwise.
Florence Road – live at 3voor12 Radio
I’ve liked this band for a bit, but wow, they are incredibly good live.
Sophie Hunter – Mic Check
She’s like if you combined Dessa and Eminem. That is, great.
Fixing the Fox
When AI gets bigger context windows so I don’t have to manage so much myself, I am going to start altering Firefox and making it better on my own.
First goals:
- Remove the requirement for extension signing
- Add an internal tool to customize the GUI, especially the context menu
- Re-add a status bar
- Optimize it better for Mac
- Built-in ad-blocking
- Complete telemetry removal
I’ll probably think of more. I could do almost all of this now with Claude Code + ChatGPT. It’d just be too much of a time investment at the moment. In a year or so as AI improves, I’ll give it a go.
I’ll probably never release it. It’ll just be for me. But for the first time in history, it’ll be possible for people who don’t want to be full-time programmers to unfuck clown-ass decisions by absolute idiots.

Boeing knew of flaw in part linked to UPS plane crash, US safety board report says.
I worry that the wealthy and the powerful are fully aware of the impending collapse of Western democracy, and are preparing for it by turning all of us against each other, and by setting women up to become property again. Probably true for more than a few of the plutes.

Con Job
AI and Business: It’s About Jobs.
This is what the AI-haters claim. But it’s wrong. I work in the trenches; I see what AI is doing and I can tell you it’s certainly increasing productivity and replacing people, especially for more junior and now even some mid-tier roles.
This post — like most in the genre — is wishful thinking by people who don’t actually work corporate jobs.
What is in the immediate economic future is tons of disemployment of juniors. As AI continues to improve, this will move up the stack to more mid-career roles. As I’ve already observed this post is incredibly wrong in its details and its speculation because what it is discussing, while a factor, is subsumed in the truth is that AI is already effectively replacing people ever day.
It’s so much better to evaluate the world as it is rather than as you wish it were. Or, even worse, allowing someone else to manipulate your reality which is what seems to be occurring here.
Why be so blind to reality? Why not just look around a bit and see what’s really occurring?
Secondhand
And 100% of people who live within five minutes of me live within 300 seconds of me. It’s like a miracle or something.
Humdrum Redrum
Letting actual murderers off the hook for equity and anti-racism. Great.
Obvihouse
Which is obvious to anyone who is not a clown idiot liar doofus jerkwad.
Divest
Germany do be like that. And a lot of the rest of the EU too. It’s no mystery why they are falling behind.
Hungary for Turkey
Mostly agreed. I think Hungary and Turkey belong somewhere there too.
Failover Fail Off
Too much of the left expects you to the apologize and grovel before them for their own self-caused failures.
And I’m not about that. I am all for helping the poor and downtrodden. But I refuse to have anything to do with a performance of penitence because someone else isn’t up to snuff. It’s insulting and reduces us all.
Which is I guess the point.
