And yet, neither of those blues are quite… it, you know? Surely the next one will be.

The Signal Foundation did? Or Moxie Marlonspike, who I don’t think is technically involved with them anymore? (Not calling you out, I’m not particularly sure of his status there anymore.)

The hot new category at CES 2027 is going to be AI-powered auto door knockers.

These are all great suggestions, and I would just like to add: drink more water. If water gets boring, add some lemon / lime / fruit, have some herbal teas, or even some coffee (black). When I’m in ravenous eating mode and about to go for seconds, it’s helpful if I can catch myself and have a glass of water first. Then wait 5 - 10 minutes and see if I actually want more food.

There’s a really funny opportunity here for Somaliland to recognize Palestine.

This sounds really exciting. Can’t wait to hear more about your book.

Heather Cox Richardson does, I think, a better job explaining it than this article: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/december-23-2025

My wife and I also have a disconnect when it comes to “cleaning” as she says that word to mean “organizing” and my understanding of it is more around dust, dirt, and grime. We also haven’t figured it out so I don’t have any suggestions or solutions for you, just wanted to commiserate.

One thing that actually has helped is bringing in a cleaner with some degree of regularity. It could be weekly if you can afford it, but even monthly or quarterly can be really helpful. I usually also clean while the cleaner is here, but it gives me some assistance on bigger projects or takes the every day stuff off my hands so I can focus on less frequent tasks (baseboards, really giving the shower a good scrub, cleaning carpets, wiping the tops of the ceiling fans, etc.).

Ah, the United Flyover States of America

This is the right answer here

This looks great. Thanks for all of your hard work and for sharing with the community and public at large!

All right, so call them “veggie patties” and “veggie links that the meat companies and special interest groups can go sit on.”

The children yearn for the… front lines?

For the impatient, the camera feed from this particular segment starts around 7:08 and it actually gets destroyed around 9:20.

Also, it’s nice to see a video with “destroyed” in the title where something actually gets destroyed.

I upvote this post and all of the comments in it (unless they’re wrong)

I’m actually pretty excited to have another product to try to motivate friends and family to leave Google behind. Maybe this will do it.

Tomfoolery

I dunno… is that surgical-grade silicone?

Ah yes. The classic Grower / Shower Paradox, illustrated.

They’re similar to MDMA - they’re phenethylamines. 2C-B is about ten times as potent as MDMA, but they don’t really have the same harsh after effects of the latter. They’re also both significantly less empathogenic. 2C-I, I believe, lasts a long time. One review I read of 2C-B is that it’s similar to the experiences of both MDMA and LSD while being not much like either, which while confusing, seems pretty accurate. 12mg of 2C-B at a concert is my favorite way to enjoy both. Do not insufflate it as it is not water-soluble. 2C-B also stacks nicely with MDMA.
