Freedom to speak is critically important, because it is a thousand times preferable to violence. People who commit murder to silence speech are the lowest of the low, followed by those who celebrate it. RIP Charlie Kirk. I’m so sorry for your wife and especially for your kids.

When I was getting a couple of spam messages a week on @telegram, it was easy to ignore them. It's accelerating; now it's multiple per day. Requiring a Premium account to prevent spammers does not entice me to upgrade, it encourages me to leave the platform. Just FYI.

I've had to show ID to prove I'm over 50. Good place to be.

My wife has further clarified: Though I am indeed better looking that Tom Cruise, I am merely on par with Henry Cavill (in her opinion). I maintain that this is still a win for me.

On deck to read. Look out, world—Robert Greene’s in my corner, now!

Not there yet, but I'm darn close. Most of what's left is plumbing (wiring up buttons, etc.).

When I confuse my work-in-progress with the mock-up, I know I'm closing in.

My wife thinks I'm better looking than Tom Cruise. I win at life.

Our choices are our destiny, not our past. No matter what has come before, “now” is all there is.

Time is the one resource we can't make more of.

Ask your AI to stop cheerleading. It's great for the ego but terrible for your output. Take that one step further: Direct it to only provide positive reinforcement when your creations or changes are actually suitable or are improvements. It's not foolproof, but it's a start.

The most interesting thing about switching to iPhone from Android (trial basis) is…that’s it’s no big deal. The transfer itself is a *huge* PITA, but the day-to-day is remarkably similar. There are certainly pros and cons, but by and large, it’s the same. Huh.

Well, lookie here. I did ask Grok whether this was a possibility, and it said, “No.” I found it looking for something unrelated. I don’t know yet whether this applies everywhere you use Grok or if this setting is per-device. Thanks, xAI team!

A commitment becomes a cycle. A cycle becomes a habit. A habit becomes a change. A change becomes success. To succeed, you must commit. Meet your commitments to yourself. Always.

C'mon, Grok. Get to the point. I used to use AI to summarize web articles. Now I use AI to summarize AI. I now begin every Grok session with the following: "Answer only the question asked, focusing on the core issue. Avoid repeating my prompt, explaining your approach, or

You can’t transfer Signal message history from Android to iPhone. Further, you can’t backup Signal message history at all on iPhone. TIL WTH, @signalapp?

If you want to feel manly and capable, change your own spark plugs. If you want to hate automobiles and the people who design them with a fierce passion, change your own spark plugs.

Time lends important perspective. Watched one of my older YT videos with my son and cringed. I thought it was so much better back when I edited it! Conversely, reading some of my old articles, I was encouraged. Things may not be as good—or as bad—as we think they are!

I'm just not excited about AI-generated video. It's cool—amazing, even, but it's a mere novelty in my world. I have other things I'm focused on. Any reason I should pay more attention to it?

"I don't remember forgetting to do that..." —Me I sometimes fall short of profundity.
