Irony? I don't even know where to start.

The people who need a separate halftime show are the same ones who needed separate drinking fountains.

Social media influencers are nothing new. We just used to call them β€œposers”.

Getting a crazy number of spam calls from numbers in US area code 609 for the past two weeks. Reported and blocked them all, but they're all random and likely forged. This is what happens when you have no accountability from unmanaged VoIP devices plugged into the telephone network.

When your only tool is AI, every problem looks like a thumb.

β€œThe popular conception was that AI would be a danger to civilization because AI would be so smart, but the reality turns out to be the danger is that AI is so stupid.”

The longer you stay on the wrong train, the more expensive it is to get home.

People adopt generative AI quickly because it does their work for them, without verifying the results. They willingly give up the ability, and desire, to think critically. Perhaps it is a perfect companion to the current political climate.

Instagram is about to enter end-stage #enshittification. This is not the first time my report of a scammer selling followers, but it ended the same failure most of them have for the past year.

Watching Amna Nawaz interview Ric Grenell tonight on PBS News Hour, the word that kept lighting up in my brain was β€œmansplaining”. Thank you for reminding us that you can be a gay man AND a misogynist.

Goodbye, 2025. Don’t let that door hit you on the ass on the way out. Or let the doorknob get stuck in it.

The most significant sign that the AI boom is a scam: Donald Trump is fully embracing it.

Don’t trust someone who spends their time trying to convince you how pious they are. Genuine faith doesn’t depend on what others think.

If you have to use fake, constantly changing phone numbers to send me shrill world-is-burning political fundraising ads, you’re a spamhole. You’re not exercising freedom of political speech β€” you’re a nuisance to be kicked to the curb at the first practical opportunity.

Start off with the assumption that everything he says is a lie. Statistics will be on your side. If he says, β€œThe sky is blue,” look outside to make sure it isn’t green.

So-called social media isn’t addictive by happenstance; it is literally designed that way.

Nearly every person you see walking down the street with their face down in their phone is an addict.

Did you have to look up from reading this to confirm that statement?

If you don’t care about the ostensibly contemptible, corrosive effect of so-called AI on society, then maybe this will get your attention: the huge rush into building data centers does not add up in a cost-benefit equation. It’s not even close.

It’s rather sad that β€œI was taking an NJ Transit train” has become an excuse one can give to one’s boss to explain a late arrival at work, and no further details are required.

No one should EVER rely on NJ Transit trains. They're as dependable as a schizophrenic goldfish.

I didn't trust #NJTransit to get me into NYP on time for a 9 a.m. appointment, even though the schedule says I should be fine. So, I took an earlier train, just to be safe. That train is now being diverted to Hoboken, and is running very late at that. Why does anyone trust this railroad?

I couldn’t have said it better myself: β€œIf a company uses AI art or videos in their advertising, I automatically assume I’m going to get scammed.”
