I've started a new podcast! I'm doing a limited-run series with @adampatrickmurray.bsky.social about switching from Windows to Linux called Dual Boot Diaries. You can find it on Apple Music, Spotify, Pocketcasts, and anywhere podcasts are found, but also on YouTube as a video...

Fascinating! I always wondered what the "dots" were supposed to be.

COLUMN I CURRENTS Musk Might Not Be Genuine. Democrats Should Still Take Him Back. Elon Musk is leaving politics, just as climate advocates are starting to appreciate his influence on it. BY DEBRA KAHN

What we are seeing is media reorienting itself to be messengers from the ownership class to the subjects of the regime not journalism or news as we understood it.

This Memorial Day weekend, the best way to honor the soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice is to honor and protect the freedoms and the democracy they died for.

@ellecordova.bsky.social has some alliterative thoughts on that big beautiful bill you've been hearing so much about.

This was my chair on the set.

This is me with Christ Weitz, who with his brother Paul Weitz, are the executive producers, directors, and writers of Murderbot. Their production company Depth of Field optioned All Systems Red in 2021 and they've been working hard to bring it to TV ever since.

This is me with the ball and chart, taken through the monitor while I'm standing in front of the big camera in the hopper set. This has to be done periodically for the special effects team.

If you need a distraction, I'm going to be posting a few non-spoilery set photos over the weeks as a lead-up to the Murderbot premiere on May 16. (It's fun for me! I hope it's fun for you.) @troyce.bsky.social took these photos. #murderbot

This week's newsletter is out! We can't rely on AI to save us from the problems that are also created by AI. If the last thirty years on the Internet has taught me anything, it's that spammers will always win.

VERY excited about the discovery of quartz (which I, as a non-French speaker, will now forever call "le minéral iconique") on Mars!

There are more cases of measles in the state of Texas then there are trans athletes in the United States.

I guess no one in Congress would make it a week working in a public library.

I am going to be so pissed if--after everything--I do, in fact, die of dysentery.

Billionaires are just piggy banks we haven't figured out how to crack yet.

Wow!

Gee, someone should write that thriller.
