“Death by Lightning” on Netflix is excellent. For those with an interest in American political history, seeing actors portray James Garfield, Chester A. Arthur, Roscoe Conkling and Charles J. Guiteau is a joy.

Autocorrect on computers and phones is strictly useful only for dummies. If you know how to write and spell, all it does is create mistakes for you. I spend much of my time correcting autocorrect.

I have identified a new ailment. It is called violent tiredness. Millions of Americans suffer from it and I’m afraid I am one of them. I’ll only bring this up to increase awareness and erase the stigma connected with this disease. Please give generously.

As far as I can tell, the only thing Big Tech does now is traffic in products that nobody wants, that ruin communities and people’s lives, and even kill people. AI, Crypto, social media, surveillance. All actively destructive. Big Tech sells death of good living.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish
