As I have done for several of our past trips, I started delayed posting my travel journal from last month's trip to Vietnam and Cambodia. The first installment is at altmode.org/2026/03/11/v...

Curious about two USAF helicopters, JOLLY91 and JOLLY92, that seem to be orbiting over two container ships off the coast of California right now. Normal training, or are they investigating something? #flightradar24

CTIA has a bunch of fairly onerous compliance requirements about automated texting. I’d like to know how political fundraising texts are getting around that.

The one AI agent I would be interested in is one that detects political fundraising text messages, replies Stop to them, and doesn’t pass the messages on to me. These fundraising messages have gotten completely out of hand. @actblueorg.bsky.social

Surprised that Trump hasn’t asked for some deep red state to be named after him. If it was Texas, he might even inherit the motto, “Don’t mess with Trump.”

You’re more patient than we are. We have up on WaPo quite some time ago. My only regret is that I can only cancel once.

I consult for NIST on SP 800-63B and some related docs but I’m not a NIST employee. Not involved in the AI stuff and hadn’t heard of the change you’re describing.

Still, this is standard operating procedure for people getting SCI clearances. It's also a deterrent to people with something they want to hide, and it doesn't take long. He should get a polygraph for consistency if nothing else.

The shutdown may be over, but this is still on my mind. And it seems I'm not alone. @patrioticmillionaires.org www.fastcompany.com/91437451/faa...

These millionaires have a suggestion for the FAA: Cancel all private jet flights during the shutdown

Wouldn't it be a more efficient use of limited air traffic control resources to prioritize commercial traffic over private, and impact fewer people? Oh yeah, can't inconvenience the billionaires and corporate execs. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/11/t...

Given Pam Bondi's refusal to answer important questions, she should be held in contempt of Congress. But, oh yeah, it would require Republican votes to do that.

I am enormously proud to have Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov as my senator (and fellow MIT alum). This interview clearly explains why: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/04/m...
