Microsoft is going to blame an AI hacking attack on an unprecedented scale until after a while it turns out they just screwed up pushing an update like always.

Similarly, the Buddhist principle of non-harming applies to not harming yourself.

(A yoga teacher told me that and I haven't looked into it more but it's a nice thought nonetheless.)

Keep in mind yetzer hara (the "evil impulse") includes falling into despair and self-loathing, not just harming others. The phone is a yetzer hara trap in this way most of all.

I have to decline upgrades and extras for like 3 or 4 screens every time I buy flight tickets now. I'm more sympathetic to the guys using AI agents for this-- it*should* take 30 seconds but now it's like navigating a maze.

@DandyGeorgism Alex Clare (dubstep pop song "Too Close" was everywhere some years ago) got super Jewish at the height of his fame and now does mostly religious music.

Y'all ain't ready for this but the real John Lennon died in 1980.

Today marks 60 years since we lost the original Paul McCartney, who was last seen angrily walking out of a recording session at Abbey Road. After getting into an accident driving home, he was pronounced dead by 5:00 (as the day begins). William Campbell would soon take his throne

Reading Sense and Sensibility on the train, alternating between nodding and shaking my head vigorously so people know I approve of sense but am much more skeptical of sensibility.

An interesting stat that does hold up: this season will see the first time the Met has ever premiered an opera written by a woman!

[dav @eastsidedav]

I admit the NYer stat on young, male writers was upsetting to me. It's not true, though. I must remember to tap the sign when things like this come up, and remind others to, as well.

@mean_field_zane At my liberal arts college I knew a guy who decided to sit down and read through the Bible out of intellectual curiosity and became a sinners-in-the-hands-of-an-angry-God evangelist in a few weeks lol
