The headline is actually that he’s a liar and never stood for anything, but it was reported that he’s an isolationist because he said it during the campaign.

Hard not to think this is all happening because a military-grade disinformation operation convinced a small percentage of Americans that the worst thing happening to them was a bit of sensitivity training at work.

It’s the generational wealth earned under prohibition that makes this feel even weirder.

AI has driven investors to hallucinations [FREE TO READ] Competing visions on the next big technological revolution are discombobulating markets

Tech tizz time! Is the AI tech overvalued and shit? or is everything else overvalued because it's about to eat your job?

The Italians have done a wonderful job with the Winter Olympics this year. The world needed to see a positive symbol of sportsmanship, class and joy. I hope they’re very proud.

A photo of my sister Angela Spanjers with Vancouver harbour in the background. She says “I wish there was some big life lesson that I could impart, but the reality is, we are all just working and trying our best to get through every day."

A year ago my beloved little sister passed away. I think of these words often as I work to have as good a day I can, each and every day.

Photo of espresso at Cafe Colbert looking across to the bar. Photo of espresso at Kat Coffee looking out through a window at a rainy Lower Sloane Street.

Did I visit three coffee shops this morning, no? No, no, don’t be silly.

Blue sky in the morning in a hill in Devon.

This is such a shallow response though by the regulators. Their real focus should be disinformation, sponsored bots, business model transparency, military grade info opps & bias balance (similar to how broadcast bias is relatively well regulated in countries that do this). UX is fast moving water.

I don’t think it’s going to get fully automated. But I’ve used caude code for three weeks and it’s clearly going to become a core part of the process to get shit done.

The more refined the process the fewer people you’ll need running it. So this is the Industrial Revolution for white collar jobs

I wish I could carry new headphones around to give out to people who listen to videos on their phone we can all hear. I remain really confused by this.

Photo of Orange Square waiting for the coffee shop to open just as the sun is about to rise. Mozart wrote his first symphony next to this square.

Why do I like getting up and having coffee before the sunrises so much?
