More and more of my job is becoming "just use the AI" and I am so sad and frustrated about it.

I managed to avoid this for longer than most but it is now firmly the directive and it sucks as much as I anticipated.

Zohran Mamdani won young men 18-29 by 40 points.

40 POINTS!

And he did so by standing FOR economic justice, FOR Trans rights, FOR immigrant rights, FOR labor rights, FOR Palestinian rights, & FOR diversity.

All the Corporate Democrats who said Dems can only win by by "running to the center," or "siding with Israel on Gaza" or "not being distracted by the Trans issue," should shut up & have the humility to listen.

Zohran is what happens when you run FOR justice rather than just against Trump.

I have had a MacBook Pro M5 and a CalDigit Thunderbolt 4 dock in my online Apple Store bag for the last week without pulling the trigger. Argument against: the M1 actually still feels fast! Argument for: I don't think I want to pay for the rumored M6 model changes.

I can't even reboot the switch without pulling it out of the wall and unscrewing wires. WTF. I'm going back to 20th-century light switches.

I've installed #Aqara "smart" switch, and it turned out to be useless: it doesn't work when my wifi is down.
The whole point of a physical switch was to have a backup for the flaky connectivity, but nope. Aqara switch locks up and stops responding, just like the rest of the not-actually-smart devices ;(

Over on my own site I have some thoughts on last night's election news: Mamdani, Prop 50, the general good night for Democrats, and how I -- single-handedly! -- assured the win of now-NJ governor-elect Mikie Sherrill.
