I’m so spoiled. My car has an app that tells me my car is unlocked. On the 2nd floor, sitting in my office, I double-tap my key fob & the app tells me the car is locked. Why not lock via the app? Georgia case number 1:22-cv-02628-ELR.

@grammargirl.bsky.social I enjoy your episodes where guests talk about the technology they use in their writing work. Well this is a home run for me.

I found the result so exquisite that tears welled in my eyes upon first reading it. [As Heffer might put it, and as I say, with GPT-5 help.]
Shout-out to Simon Heffer, @microsoftcopilot, and @openai GPT-5. Prompt: Analyze this sentence in his style; tell me what he thinks is wrong with it and [how] I should rephrase it: Bless us in our vocations and avocations, for you made us in your image to do the work you set out for us to do.

I adopted the word fluffle (Wordnik). The problem with the fediverse is this. The platform-specific features compel me to maintain accounts on Bluesky Social (a walled garden) and in the generic fediverse, which see. (Click the links.) And then there’s twitter, controlled by The Mad Genius. #htwoosh

@marthabarnette.bsky.social I looked up what you said about fluffle at Wikipedia, and I wrote up what I learned at justapedia.org/wiki/Fluffle. I challenge you and your followers to improve that article. In parallel, I challenge you and your listeners to create en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluffle. #worder

@anduwrites.bsky.social thanks for the follow. I see no posts from you mentioning EOS, IQ, or DARA. Do you have an opinion about any of them?

We are living with a fundamental shift in U.S. trade policy. The executive branch gained substantial control over a power originally vested in Congress, allowing presidents to implement tariffs with relatively few checks on that authority. bit.ly/4hbOrjG

I just borrowed a digital copy of Life After Capitalism by George Gilder share.libbyapp.com/title/878…

Key truths of the information theory of economics:

Wealth is knowledge.
Growth is learning.
Information is surprise.
Money is time.

I’ll write more after more surprises.
