It’s 2025, and yes, you can still install and run a modern Linux distribution like Debian through a real hardware terminal. While I have used a terminal with the Pi, I’ve never before used it as a serial console all the way from early boot, and I have never installed...
The Man Who Sold the Moon is a 1950 novella by Robert A. Heinlein. It's about a businessman, Delos D. Harriman, who is determined to be the first to travel to and control the resources of the Moon. Seventy-five years later, a man really has sold the Moon, or at least part of ...
A puzzle from More Problematic Recreations, published by Litton Industries in the early 1960s: A truck, when fully loaded, can carry enough fuel to take it half-way across a barren desert. If the truck can return to its starting point as often as is necessary, what is the...
Underqualified Director of the FBI Kash Patel proves he is unable to withstand scrutiny of any sort. Eric Swalwell, representing California's 14th congressional district, cut through the evasiveness and battered Kash Patel. Patel refused to answer a very simple question:...
The United States' political and economic future is on shaky ground. A growing number of Americans are thinking about getting out. A recent Harris poll revealed that 52% of Americans surveyed agreed with the statement, 'I could live a higher quality of life living abroad...
Monday is set to launch an AI agent builder tool that can automate a range of work management tasks, the company announced at its Elevate conference on Wednesday. The agents don’t just answer questions, they “execute tasks, connect systems, and learn from context,”...
The good folks at Sweet Mercies Rescue Ranch have a very important question for you: 'If you only got to hear one bray for the rest of your life, who are you choosing?' I, too, would like to know. First, I need you to go check out all of the contenders, and then I need you...
No one defends free speech harder than a man who makes a living off of hate speech. When I heard Tucker Carlson say 'a human being with a soul, a free man, has a right to say what he believes,' I yukked so hard, I peed. — Read the rest The post Have a laugh at the hilarity...
For a lot of right-wing America (and far too many liberals, it should be noted), 'socialism' is still a scary word. Bernie Sanders isn't quite Chairman Mao, though, as demonstrated when he teamed up with indie newsroom More Perfect Union to tour the deep red West Virginia. —...
Zoom is implementing new collaboration features so users spend less time planning and more time getting work done. Zoom’s new AI Companion 3.0 will introduce new features over the next year, providing enhanced ways to manage time and collaboration. One such feature will...
I despise A.I. as much as the next guy, but it can't be ignored forever. And I have to report that, after the trillions of dollars spent on it, and the hectares of forests felled and tonnes of glaciers melted, I've finally found something produced by it that I like. — Read...

Apple announced new anti-spyware security features for its iPhone 17, just as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) prepares to deploy powerful new spyware to spy on people. ICE has reactivated a $2 million contract with Israeli company Paragon Solutions for it...
Frank is a charming, cute armadillo who loves to play. Watching him is a joy! I had a friend named Frank once who was a total downer. I would much rather travel Europe with Frank the Armadillo; he seems cool and not a jerk. — Read the rest The post Meet Frank the...
Rather than attacking pleasure boats or eating seals, Old Thom spends his days swimming with Atlantic white sided dolphins. No one quite knows why. Orcinus orca, or killer whales, are more likely to eat their smaller whale buddies, rather than join their pod and swim...
Convicted felon and liable for sexual assault, Donald Trump loves bullying with lawsuits, but this one is sheer lunacy. 'This is a stunningly pathological lawsuit even by Trumpian standards' former prosecutor Ken White joked on Bluesky. 'It reads as if he was holding a...
