If you’re inclined to dig a layer deeper than the surface “next word predictor” descriptions of Generative AI, this is an excellent read for those who want to know more. open.substack.com/pub/unders…
Some mis-reads by #axiosai in axios.com/2026/11/05/musk-sp…. 1) Backhaul is via Starlink; specialty towers connect it. 2) He'll cherry-pick valuable markets, then spread. 3) Yup. 4) The "new vision" is key; this isn't about being yet-another retailer. 5) yup; time is on his side.
Along the way @TheFP lost me. For a time I appreciated the conservative response to left wing messaging. But, became a conservative apologist. I’m social media and digital subscription unsubscribing. Sorry folks - you lost me when Bari’s attention got commandeered by CBS.

Now we'll finally learn what's in the Epstein files. Mike Johnson is no longer in a position to shut down the House in order to prevent votes on measures to force their release. It's time. It's past time.
Dear @FXLuminaire - Your Luxor app / products are good. But the app is optimized for installer partners. After they leave, we consumers live with it for years & installers have moved on. Please orient your product designers more towards us consumers. It’s not as awesome for us.
My wife & I are on our 3rd start-to-end watching of #friends. Every episode is funny and makes me laugh. Best series ever.

I love the internet
That Mr. French has debated me twice is "pure fiction." Also, he has lifted humorlessness into an art form, bringing a level of dedication to it that is genuinely impressive. Sad!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Eric Metaxas and David French participated in two public debates in 2020 about whether Christians should vote for Donald Trump one at the Q Summit and another at John Brown University. youtube.com/watch?v=CuYk4-… thewayofimprovement.blog/2020/04/25/tra… christianpost.com/news/christian…

Trump: "I alone could secure a prisoner release from Russia without giving anything in return"
Trump literally ten minutes later: "Now you idiots know why I had to waive sanctions on Russia, no shot I got that prisoner release otherwise"
Dear @Sonos - how can you defend putting the most used UX (volume mute) control on your app into a minuscule tap area with a tint tap area?

“I felt a great disturbance in the Force… as if millions of Russian bots cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.”

Andrew Scott delivers this speech too slowly; I know some viewers will hate the way he breaks up the verse. AND YET even in spite of that I think this is the best delivery of this soliloquy I’ve ever seen.
He makes it sound like it’s not a portentous speech everyone already knows but a morally serious real-time deliberation, by a highly intelligent person in extreme pain, considering what it would mean to end his own life.

We are the free and the home of the brave. The moral leaders of the free world. Oh yes, we are brave and free.
I had my first experience today of an AI trying to shift responsibility (/blame) to me, the human, for not catching their mistake early in a process. I guess AIs were trained on people shifting blame, so ... what should we expect?
For us who have loved it for decades @kraftmacncheese is lost greatness by a thousand cuts. Pasta and box size shrinkage for profit. Flavor changes for…why? (Cheddar cheese should not be nutty.) (Irritating) MAHA-driven loss of famous color. 😢
Help to @antmccrossan : your Km remaining statements have been off by 10k here at 25Km left. #uciworlds #womensRoad
Orwell’s famous 1984 is coming to be more real today. State media now! #trumpTV At least it’s not 2-way thought police - yet.
Listening to @JDVance give a stump speech in NC; it is sooooo full of false data. I know there’s always hyperbole in politics, but man … this is insane.
The experience of business class on @airfrance in Charles de Gaulle airport has been fantastic until we got to the lounge, where apparently you cannot enter until three hours before your flight. We have more time to kill than that. This is a ding on the otherwise great experience
Here’s my philosophy: if we are both standing, e.g. at a quick serve restaurant, I’m not giving a tip. #tipping #gonetoofar
