Had a lovely conversation with ChatGPT during the dog walk this morning. Organized my to-do list for the weekend, including a few work calls for today. But the output is still just flat text that I have to copy/paste into my calendar. Needs deeper integration with Siri/iOS!

Silver lining: once iPhones cost more than $5k, maybe that will filter some of the idiots from online communities. Like the Internet from the 90s.

I’m sure there’s no way this decision will come back to bite us.

I was wrong.

I have always believed that the US economy was too big & too complex for any single person to have a meaningful impact. Even the president or Fed chairman.

This last week has torched that belief. But in my defense, I always assumed good faith. That’s where I went wrong.

And now Iowa is about to ban mRNA vaccines, one of the most important medical advances of the last 30 years that has already generated a handful of Nobel prizes.

But some mama on facebook who flunked high school biology thinks they alter your DNA, so let’s listen to her instead.

And it’s just a coincidence that “Trump’s priorities” are exactly aligned with those in Moscow, Beijing, Tehran, Pyongyang, etc.

The Adventure Dog doesn’t like to walk much further than a few blocks and would rather cuddle on mommy’s lap. Meanwhile, the mini labradoodle is the most fearless creature I’ve ever met.

So if you ever see me hiking around the desert with an energetic purse-sized dog, now you’ll understand.

My wife wanted a mini-doodle to cuddle on the couch. I wanted an adventure dog to take hiking and running and generally exploring. We couldn’t decide, so we adopted both.

But now…

Health Programs Shutter Around the World After Trump Pauses Foreign Aid Lifesaving treatment and prevention programs for tuberculosis, malaria, H.I.V. and other diseases cannot access funds to continue work.

Needs to be front and center on every newsfeed. These programs save lives.

Help me understand:

Let dogs out into the backyard, and they sit/lie peacefully on the patio with a toy or chew treat.

Bring them in the house and it’s 24/7 Wrestle Mania.

The holidays can be a difficult time for some folks, but just know that you’re never alone.

Cat Politics. Best not to get involved.

Maybe the seller is using a registrar in Japan? Feels like a pretext to a diplomatic incident.

Marginalized or vulnerable people watched their family sell them out for cheaper eggs. And they are responding in kind.

These are the social consequences of supporting a rapist in the face of a survivor. Voting for a man who mocks the disabled, next to a family member who has dedicated their lives to caring for a special needs child.

I see a lot of moaning from Trump voters that they’re being shunned this Thanksgiving, and that others are “putting politics ahead of family”. But that’s exactly the opposite of what’s going on.

Hah yes. “To avoid super fun intoxicating side effects, do not swallow.”

“External use”? Then what’s the point? 😉

Any American who calls NATO “the aggressor” is a traitor, or more likely, are paid by Russia.

Fair!

Thanks. Was hoping for something native but will have to settle for what’s available. At least for now.

@bsky.app needs a decent iPadOS client. Any suggestions?
