In addition to adding Liquid Glass, which sucks, the MacOS Tahoe update solves that age-old problem of being able to see the volume level in a video project. Thanks, Apple!

David Lynch passed a year ago today. I hope we all can absorb just a little bit of the energy he put out in his lifetime.

GenAI allows these guys to do what they do when drunk and ganked up at office Christmas parties, at a mass scale.
We're *all* there cringing while they lean in and excitedly slur their messed up shit at us while we're uncomfortably unable to disengage.

GenAI being fundamentally based on a rejection of consent is obvious, but it's not as obvious that it destroys the inhibitions of the people who already reject consent.
It makes them act in public the way they used to only act when cornering their employees by the punch bowl or in their office

Zohran Mamdani explains that thousands and thousands of New Yorkers are already eligible for free and reduce public transportation, but because of the bureaucratic hurdles they never get enrolled in the program.
That's why he wants to just make the bus free.

"Only 1.5% of the older people with reduced mobility in our study – just 17 out of 1,110 participants who had an average age of 77 – could cross the road faster than the 1.2 metres per second walking speed that is programmed into many UK pedestrian crossings."
Cities aren’t built for older people – our study shows many can’t walk fast enough to beat a pedestrian crossing
Many older people with reduced mobility say they feel ‘hurried’, ‘rushed’ and ‘unsafe" when walking around their city.

Accuracy is a big part of accessibility.
This is a really appalling editorial error on BBC Question Time
"Apparently one in three children don't speak English as a first language, why does this matter?"
Chair says "have English as a second language"
Caption changes the meaning entirely
"Don't speak fluent English"

BTW, what happens when you install a protected bike lane (where no bike facilities existed) between some of your densest residential neighborhoods (Dupont Circle and north) and the bit of downtown that hosts a huge university and an alphabet-soup of international orgs?

Mulled cranberry juice, mulled apple cider, a selection of hot teas (hi, it's winter in Vermont).
I do not drink because I have almost no tolerance for it anymore (one margarita is too much).
If you are hosting a party, I recommend also stocking:
-fancy ginger beer
-coconut water
-premium juices like lychee and guava
-apple cider with cinnamon
-Italian sodas
-sparkling water
Lots of options!
