Happy last day of commuting to Staten Island to me!

On Friday my partner got a job offer! It was for a project management gig and would have put us financially in the black.

Yesterday after detailing our summer travel plans the company rescinded the offer rather than negotiate it.

I've never seen a company do that before. Truly terrible behavior.

To help celebrate the United States' semiquincentennial I am starting a porta potty brand: Wee the Peeple.

At best autonomous cars increase capacity by 20%.

That likely doesn't even cover the induced demand that autonomous vehicles create.

We have the technology to solve traffic. We've had it the whole time. It's buses, trains, and bicycles.

Say hello to the inexplicable wall combination radio and cassette deck in my office.

It still turns on! And sometime when others are not here I will turn up the volume and see if sound comes from anywhere. #retro

So Anthropic installs a native messaging bridge into every Chromium based browser when someone installs the Claude desktop app.

There is zero consent asked for this.

This is spyware, plain and simple. Dormant spyware at the moment of installation but spyware nonetheless.

A house divided cannot stand?

Wrong. It sure can. Ever seen a duplex?
