Nobody wants to hear that, but it's the correct take. Not sure at all if, say, a 35 year old Tyler Myers fits the bill, but that's the thoughtline here. Carrier was better than Barron, but we need someone better than Carrier.

I wrote this five years ago, before I’d read the Stoppard biography referenced here (the US edition appeared months later). Since I’ve read it, I’ve recommended it to everybody. A remarkable life. kottke.org/20/11/tom-st...

This is exactly how I've convinced mgmt to get behind a) a real data strategy and b) business process documentation & governance

The ROI inherent in those two activities, independent of any AI enablement, is transformative in itself. So when the fervour dials back, we've Done Something valuable.

Death. β€œIn Human Form.” July 31, 1993. One Step Beyond club, Santa Clara CA. Footage like this is why I think of old school bootleggers as music historians. This is front stage.

Point is: no matter where you land, simply take a moment to consider the *why* & *whom* in your opposition, and how well your words & actions align, and then own it personally rather than making excuses & wearing opposition like a badge against your fellow normal humans

Taking swings at, e.g. time-pressed & underfunded school teachers for generating cute animal slides for the classroom... incredibly lame yet it's here in my TL

I'm not onside with the fascist use of this tech or its egregiously criminal dipshit salesbros, and extremely concerned by the **further** enshittification of our digital spaces, but lordy summa y'all should take a breather to examine your current positions vs your fellow normal humans

I went pro at the dawn of the WWW, and can only imagine this level of perseverating about the ecological footprint of web servers, banner ads & AOL dial-up.

None of which the world needed & all of which looks kinda regrettable today

I don't think the pairs are as important as the game state, but yes in theory we'll go with Guhle-Hutson again for a bit, but it's not ideal.

MM will eventually be a bottom-six player, it's a matter of when.

Guhle's already a bandaid, I wouldn't bet money he finishes that contract in Montreal.

An upgrade on Carrier is absolutely necessary if we're keeping the injury-prone Guhle.
Need a RH version of him, asap.

Long term, I'm skeptical Hutson plays RD, so the left side remains extremely crowded. Matheson, Hutson, Guhle with X as #7.

Yep. There's a chance this ages like Jeff Petry, but the literal hometown discount is very encouraging.

We can do anything we put our minds to.
Political leadership has never been more important, but that depends on the active engagement of the electorate, and organized pressure for actionable solutions.
Governments are us.
Do something.
