What good is it to sing helplessness blues? Dad, husband, dubious Lutheran, former evangelical, IAM architect, cyber-security consultant, clock enthusiast, northern lights chaser, latent photographer. Probably disagrees with you about AI.

Claude's map of states containing an "R"

Claude's map of states containing an "R"

Claude made the cutest vector map, but still thought "Nevada" contained an "R" until I pointed it out.

What's hilarious is that this suggests "Nebraska" is used so seldom outside of alphabetical lists that the LLM has a strong intuition to always include "Nevada" after it.

Can you really trust a man who apparently has never used an umbrella? This is not how umbrellas work.

Trump will just assert four or six made-up reasons he’s allowed to ignore the subpoena, and 98% of his base will fixate on one of them, even if they think the others are transparently false. That’s how he gets away with everything.

*Right* at the end of the lake, with the most directional glacial scrapings you've ever seen? That's the Tug Hill plateau, which is also a lot of green space. The Adirondacks are farther than that.

"...he’s an incredibly strong leader no one dares cross and a poor, persecuted victim who needs your sympathy. Also, urban populations are scared weaklings who would quickly fold in a civil war, and cities are terrifyingly violent no-go zones where even heavily armed officers face dire threat."

Medicaid cuts jeopardize care for millions who rely on New York’s safety net hospitals Nonprofit health care systems may have to make difficult choices about which services to keep.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill is about to blow a $3 billion hole in NY’s health care budget.

That means fewer services, staff cuts, and hospital closures that impact everyone, not just Medicaid patients.

NY Republicans voted for these cuts. It’s time for accountability.

According to this Supreme Court, President Biden's Department of Education was exceeding its power by trying to forgive peoples' student loans.

President Trump, on the other hand, has the power to just completely dismantle the entire Education Department.
