watching Barfly (1987) which was probably too influential on my early life. and that of other young men.

it's weird that there's both "this will change everything and unemploy millions, wait why do you dislike it? that's so irrational." and "this doesn't work, it's also bullshit and hype. we also must kill it before it kills us all." camps as well.

I am opposed to "code is speech" absolutism but...this stuff seems pretty speech-y and I can't say I follow how the DOD would be required to use Anthropic if it disagrees with its "editorial" positions under a 1A analysis

The Phillies hear the β€˜noise’ about running it back: Why they think they can make history After three disappointing October exits, the Phillies brought back the same core group again to try to win it all. Legacies are on the line.

New column from me:

The Phillies have questions. But is "running it back" one of them?

I dug in deep on that fun little topic

when other Presidents did it, it was also illegal. The role of "commander-in-chief" means "chief guy in charge of carrying out a Congressionally-authorized mission" and everything else is hand-wavy bullshit

It's important to read the views of haters because 1) they are often right and 2) when there is stuff they DO like you know it's going to be REALLY good

β€œLegislated ZIP Code changes are almost never related to improving or considering mail delivery, are often not considered or understood by the broader community that is impacted, but instead are inspired by third-party reliance on ZIP Codes, such as for tax collection, insurance rates, community identity, or other non-mail considerations,” said the USPS spokesperson for Colorado and Wyoming.

No non-mail considerations should be contemplated!

ZIP code or zip no? Colorado communities struggle to get a unique postal code From sales taxes to local identity, Colorado communities say there are a lot of reasons to fight for a unique ZIP code.

I am against this sort of thing. Zip codes are for mail delivery. Get your own random geographic identifier www.cpr.org/2025/07/25/c...

I was actually annoyed when I found out there is no good multi-format ebook / PDF / comic viewer app for Mac / iPad, and no Typst compiler for iOS, etc, because I don't actually want to vibe code such things, which is about as creative as customizing a salad bowl. I just want them to already exist

DC Council considering a new tax on so-called 'flushable' wipes People may tell their kids not to use "potty talk" – but the DC Council is about to do quite a bit of it. That’s because of new legislation targeting so-called "flushable" wipes.
