Dear @anthropic.com, I really like Claude, and I'm really glad you've developed a speech / audio interface. But it suuuuuucks β€”Β it is constantly cutting off the speaker. It's maddening. Please devote some serious oomph to this! Best regards β€” Isaiah

The "This Day in History" thing that I didn't ask for that came with Windows says for today "Forest Gump starts its run in theaters." Pathetic.

Had the great pleasure of UAP Register's @dustinslaughter.bsky.social on the pod, UFO Focus; Dustin obtained Air Force video of the "Mosul orb." Great journalism! #ufosky #ufos

Wow, watching Phil Hartman throw Paul Reubens under the bus and call him a "deviant" to Howard Stern ... does not reflect well upon the late Phil Hartman. #PeeWeeAsHimself

Jason Carroll of @cnn.com was detained by LAPD while live on air and told to leave, all of which violates CA Penal Code 409.7.

Their security WAS arrested, even though they are also protected by law as "duly authorized representatives" of the media. I've been in touch with LAPD and Mayor's office.
