Stuff Keeps Happening

Try as I might, Stuff Keeps Happening. I had been planning for a usual episode this week, but after what went down this past weekend (covered in the previous video!) I wanted to still get a chance to talk about a few other stories I had been planning to cover.

(Apologies that I cannot include the pictures of the cute book collector in an audio format, but imagine if you will the gooberiest dude possible)

Hello, dear listener. Looks like we're having a two-fer with out-of-ordinary entries.

I had been working on a draft for tomorrow's newsletter, only to of course have it entirely undermined by the events that unfolded last night. I decided instead to record some more focused thoughts on the situation.

Depending on how the next 24 hours or so go, I may put out a shorter newsletter/podcast covering some other topics, but I am treating everything as temporary for the time being.

Wishing you well. Stay safe. Stay frosty. Stay skeptical. Remember your community.

A look at the timeline of the situation in Los Angeles so far, as well as a few of the other trillion things going on right now

Also, updates on the Big Beautiful Bill, some other tech companies show off their AI updates, and Kim Jong Un is having a bad time.
