    The local political organizations rely 100% on Facebook groups and Messenger for communication. I tried to tell them that this was alienating younger and privacy-aware members, but they haven’t successfully pivoted to plain old email and websites yet. I even volunteered to help, but no call back.

    Trump has a week to resolve the Iran situation before it becomes illegal without congressional approval. Think congress will push back or even notice? #uspol https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/opinion/trump-iran-war-powers.html

    Here’s a crazy story I missed! The senior enlisted leaders of the littoral combat ship USS Manchester installed a secret Starlink Wi-Fi network during a West Pacific deployment in 2023. The SSID “STINKY” gave them away…

    RE: https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/116328694967192899 “the feeling of going very fast but never making it anywhere” @jonny sums up in one clause how I feel about trying to use AI “tools” to “create.” They feel so fast and so efficient. It sucks you into thinking that they are producing something. Then you spend the next hour working with the tool, trying to get it right, but you never get there.

    I would really like to know why spam texts tend to come in as soon as I pick up my phone and start using it. I would also really like to know how it is that spam voicemails come through without ringing. Two great mysteries of modern life.

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@daringfireball/116319159785651393 As you may know, I&amp;#39;m something of a watch nerd and very much a watch HISTORY nerd. So when I say that @paulg did a decent job with the history in this article I mean it. I literally wrote an article debunking the alleged quartz crisis so I was gritting my teeth when he brought that up... and then properly described it. And reading Pierre-Yves Donzé is a great start at accuracy. Well worth the read. Thanks @gruber !
