It feels like removing a dagger from my leg. Headache. Dysphoria. Flatness. Hearing phantom iPhone dings in my sleep. Days 1-3 were more of a rush. I felt light and free. On day 4, the withdrawals began. I've never had to kick something like this before. Screens are a legit addiction. I'm curious to see if the month 6 PET scan shows enhanced metabolism in regions that improve in drug addicts who quit like the thalamus, frontal cortex, and striatum (reward circuit). There are no PET studies of people quitting screens, so Dr. Eber and I are breaking new ground. Image attached is baseline PET (F18 tracer). That's one of a few scans I'm tracking.

BREAKING: Hundreds of protesters break into a Microsoft data center site in Amsterdam.

The modern world is already too confusing for the lower quintiles and it will only get worse. This is cruel. Intelligence is a lottery and our society should not punish people who aren't gifted.

We are in the final innings of safe commercial aviation. If these things get in the wrong hands, they will be flung at every departing flight out of JFK.

Stop. Using. Internet-connected. Appliances.

I want to say something positive, but it's just darkness ahead. The future is as follows: Apple will listen to feedback about touch screen issues. They will earnestly try to fix it, by bloating up the entire macOS to be increasingly touch-friendly. It is year 2032 and we will reminisce about the days when macOS was primarily designed for mouse & click. It's over folks... I am desperately rooting for Apple and I hope they disprove my thesis.

🇫🇷 The French Senate has passed the “Rioters Pay” bill, making rioters financially liable for damages during public demonstrations. They can be ordered to pay up to €10,000 ($11,000) for property damage, even if they did not personally commit the vandalism. Liability covers anyone who “knowingly participated” in a group formed to vandalize, or who stayed after two police dispersal warnings. Social media platforms must remove content inciting violence, vandalism, or insurrection within 24 hours of an authority request, or face blocking and delisting. To recover unpaid damages, the state can seize parts of social benefits, including family allowances, housing assistance, supplements, and France’s minimum-income benefit.

⚠️🚨 THIS IS NOT A DRILL 🚨⚠️ Google has officially declared a bug in Brotli, its tool that shrinks web traffic, CRITICAL: 9.2 out of 10. Last night "Node2Shell" evolved into HTTP2SHELL. A formal CVE record has been issued citing CVE-2026-111497 -- a hole in versions 1.0.3 to 1.2.0 that can hit any app unpacking data from strangers, and could let them take it over. What this means: ▪️ This is not a Node.js problem anymore. This is an HTTP PROBLEM. ▪️ Every unpatched app across Node.js, Python, Bun, and Envoy that unpacks Brotli now has a hole attackers need no login to use ▪️ Istio. curl. Python's requests and httpx. All at risk under one CVE. ▪️ EVERY project that bundles Brotli must ship its own fix, and not all are out yet This changes everything. A normal bug can be fixed in one place. A 9.2 bug inside a shared tool cannot. We just entered the most dangerous phase of this crisis. If you're not paying attention - start now. Save this. Share this. This is the moment it escalated beyond return.

Quest Diagnostics has been hacked. Patient data was exposed. They serve roughly half of U.S. hospitals and physicians. Investigation ongoing.

For some people, coding was the only valuable skill they had. If you made your money by selling your ability to write JavaScript, CSS, Python, or whatever else, I understand why you are pissed now. "Writing code" is worth very little today. The sad part is that learning to code wasn't easy. It takes years for someone to become a skilled programmer. Imagine watching all of those years go down the drain. If you are a programmer (I mean, just someone who knows how to write code in a particular programming language), your days are numbered. If you still think AI can't do your job, you are just in denial. But honestly, writing code was never that valuable anyway. If you were a code pusher, you already knew that the best people at your company weren't just writing code. They came up with new ideas, designed solutions, architected whole systems, knew how to troubleshoot and fix problems, found different ways to build better software, and, in general, spent almost no time writing code. Not only are those people thriving today, but they're also the ones who will ride the AI wave and learn to bend it to their will. So don't cling too long to what you lost; embrace what's already here. AI is a tide that lifts all boats, but you have to be open to it.
