  JA Westenberg: "If The Three Musketeers were published today, and someone published the 2026 version of a Pamphlet, what would happen? Would a Reddit thread decide that the prose felt too formulaic? Would a YouTube video rack up a million views dissecting the sentence structure? Would Hachette pull it from shelves?" --The AI #writing witchhunt is idiotic https://www.joanwestenberg.com/p/the-ai-writing-witchhunt-is-idiotic

  If I have a child on the back of my bike, and there's a car parked in the bike lane, how about you slow down and give me five seconds to get around before passing me in the school zone? #springfieldor #bikecommuting #oregon

  Tony Millionaire's Oddball's Odyssey is beatiful and weird. So many fun puns. Seems to be referencing a lot of comic history and other myth (beyond the Odyssey) that I'll need to figure out. #amreading #comics

  WTF has "harem" always been a style in women's sweat pants? I'm shopping for women I care about here. Scratch that, seems bad for anybody. #dystopia #retail

  Spotted at Costco, a t-shirt saying "Lift Hard, Pray Hard, Stay Deadly." I wonder if a hypocrite human or a sales bot came up with that. #wwjd

  "This is a place of peace," Medwyn said, "and therefore not suitable for men, at least, not yet. Until it is, I hold this valley for creatures of the forests and waters...Do you not believe that animals know grief and fear and pain! The world of men is not an easy one for them." #fantasy #amreading

  A great talk about orbital data centers that takes the question seriously, proposes cooling and power solutions, and then discusses economics (also a great discussion of the value of the dark side of the moon in future solar system exploration) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eo7MEPgWGic #hardsf

  Deleted #reddit again. I can only take so many terrible stories as one post about a recent crime dredges up similar stories for engagement. I've watched it happen too many times now. I don't need any of that in my brain. Whatever their algorithm is, it obviously isn't prioritizing mental health.

  I just sent a an email to #OPB asking them to please stop telemarketing. I've received several calls during the workday now asking for more money. Who gives money based on random phone calls anymore? I only answered the phone because I was expecting a call, and don't enjoy cutting off the volunteer.

  The April 23, 2026 episode of #Jeopardy was some of the most intense TV I've seen in a long time. Kudos to Jamie Ding, Leighanna Mixter and Patrick Nolan. And special thanks to Patrick for this great blog post on his experience: https://thepathatter.blogspot.com/2026/04/so-lets-talk-about-my-jeopardy-episode.html Go, Jamie Ding go!
