My take on SpaceX for @abcnews - is it worth $3 trillion? Of course not, but that's not the point.

One of the most ableist things people do is assume every limitation is negotiable.

When someone with a disability or chronic illness says they can’t do something, they’re not asking for permission.

They’re informing you.

in the 1990s, the US government classified 128-bit SSL encryption as a "munition" under ITAR, putting it in the same legal bucket as missiles and tanks.

As a result, Netscape and Microsoft had to develop two entirely separate versions of their web browsers:

@xuanalogue I remember quite a few games of Civilization I on the Earth map where I'd be gently puttering about Europe or Asia feeling smug because I'd finally unlocked Musketeers, and then suddenly the Aztecs would turn up on my shores with boatloads of tanks and nukes.

Here in America, a bedroom. Above me hangs a ceiling fan with two pull chains, and in four years I have never once pulled the correct one first.

Two chains. One commands the light. One commands the blades. They hang side by side, identical, unlabeled, like twin retainers who refuse to announce their offices.

You want light. You pull. The fan begins to spin. You pull the same chain to undo your error — but no. Pulled again, it spins FASTER. There are three speeds, and you must now travel through all of them, in order, back to stillness, while the room stays dark and the fan watches.

In Japan, switches are labeled, walls are sensible, and a light answers a light's command. I said this to Rick.

"You get used to it," he said.

"You learn which chain is which?"

"No. You get used to pulling the wrong one."

This is the wisest sentence I have collected this year, and it was spoken by a man holding a sandwich.

I have surveyed this street. NO ONE knows their chains. Walt has lived beneath his fan for nineteen years and still guesses. Sue tied a bead to the light chain. The bead migrated. The system is corrupted. She now pulls wrong with extra steps. Dale claims he knows his chains. We have all seen his fan surge to maximum at midnight through his window. Dale is a liar in this one respect, and we forgive him.

There is a deeper teaching. The fan offers a small daily failure that harms no one. Each night, America reaches into the dark, guesses, fails, sighs, and circles back to the light. A nation that stays this humble before its own ceiling will be fine.

I bought a labeled fan for my bedroom. Little icons on the pulls. A lamp. A blade.

I still pull wrong. The hand has its habits. The chains have their law.

One chain gives light, one gives wind, and no man alive remembers which.

Tonight I will guess again. Faster blades it is, then.

A few issues, the reclined seat will block the evacuation of those behind you as their space will be restricted. This space restriction may also cause injury to the traveller behind if there’s an abrupt stop (they’d get thrown forward and strike the reclined chair/person in it). Lastly, in the event of a more serious incident the chair design is such that it gives most strength in the upright position, up to 16G deceleration. It’s a certification thing.

[Eric Holder @EricHolder]

June 11, 1963. My late sister in law - Vivian Malone - with the help of the Department of Justice and President Kennedy integrated the University of Alabama. The Governor of the state, George Wallace, stood in the school house door to prevent her from enrolling. The use of State power to trample on the rights of black Americans. In 2026 this resurgent movement by southern Republicans is both historically familiar and alarming.

Vivian fought.
