Technology, cats, books, Seattle Kraken, Seattle Torrent, food, music, miscellaneous nonsense. Commit the sin of empathy. Read all the books. Due process absolutist.

There’s a pretty robust case to make that the Iran Hostage crisis of 1979, the revolution itself, and the policies of the Iranian government towards the US
since, was all blowback from the CIA’s decision to overthrow Mossadegh in 1953. www.cnn.com/2013/08/19/p...

Going to take advantage of the fact that a whole heap of new people are falling in love with women's hockey to post the feature I wrote for @thestranger.com at the beginning of the @pwhltorrent.bsky.social season. @thepwhl.com

Seattle you have literally outdone yourselves πŸ‘

Tonight's final attendance sets a new record for the largest attendance for a women's hockey game in a U.S. arena AND the highest attended home venue game in PWHL history (a record previously set at our home opener!)

I'm not sure that comment is disqualifying in Seattle. It's not like you're slandering St. Rat or raving about Starbucks coffee or something.

I wouldn't say it's my purpose in life to get people to read Unlanguage by Michael Cisco, but... it does happen when I can manage it.

How did we end up threatening our kids’ lives with AI? - Anil Dash A blog about making culture. Since 1999.

It is a vile scandal that 2 of the biggest AI companies in the world attack children by inciting them to self-harm, and by generating sexually exploitative imagery of kids for profit. I wanted to document this so that people in tech will stop saying they don't know: www.anildash.com/2026/02/18/t...

It's also part of a very direct negation of the latest stupid tweet by Musk: people have given so much, two of them their lives, to defend a multicultural city and the rights of people not exactly like them. And that multiculturalism is American culture.

We are at an airport restaurant. A robot just drove up to us with our food, said, "Hi! Here I am!" and then drove away with our food.

The sport, yes. NHL? Good words, bad actions.

PWHL is still early days and imperfect, but markedly better.

Goldman: You said references to ICE as secret police encourages threats. The problem is you have it backwards sir. People are making valid observations about your tactics which are outright fascist. If you don’t want to be called a fascist regime, stop acting like one.
