No Idea

This is accurate.

Tim Cushing at Techdirt writing about the “Rule of Law”

It used to mean that getting prosecuted meant getting fucked. Judges tended to side with prosecutors and rogue cops, rejecting only a small amount of cases that contained violations too egregious to be granted a “good faith” mulligan.

The Trump administration can’t follow the rule of law.

On AI:

They are making shit up. They are not sourcing information, they’re just slapping words together by their most like relative occurance.

A Large Language Model is just a “what word might be next” text adventure.

Of course that quote could have been created with AI. Who knows?

Watched: Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery 🍿

I will always spend a few hours watching a mystery being solved by Daniel Craig with a southern accent.

Watched: Candy Cane Lane 🍿

An extremely predictable but fun Christmas movie.

Wheel of Fortune without Pat Sajack is not Wheel of Fortune to me. Ryan Seacrest isn’t as good of a host, he doesn’t have the same banter that Pat did.

Watched: Home Alone 2: Lost in New York 🍿

Not as good as the first movie. Kevin’s ambushes of the Wet Bandits were much darker than the first.

Watched: Home Alone 🍿

Haven’t really watched this in 20 years. Entertaining and adorable Christmas movie.

First impressions:

1. Download and signing in - super simple

Loving the look of it so far

Excellent reflections here.

Love it.

All animals, probably.

I have a CR48 Chromebook sitting in my office. I think I want to see if that can be revived and used as a daily laptop again. Maybe that will be a project in 2026.

Finished reading: Along the Razor’s Edge by Rob J Hayes 📚

Not sure how I feel about this one. I enjoyed the overall story, I think. The pacing was off, but that was more due to the structure of the chapters and not the story. I might continue this series to see where it goes.

Enjoyed some time watching elephant seals along the California coast today.

There is a type freedom, I think, in not having a plan, agenda, goal, task, reward, or result to follow or chase. A freedom outside of being productive or efficient. A freedom to just being that people have lost sight of chasing productivity and efficiency.
