1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

Took a planned day off work today. Ended up spending work tokens on my LLM toolset I've been organically building there since April. Pretty stoked about what I was able move from CLI and filesystem to my web UI and have a sort of feedback loop (not a real loop). Inspired by:

Screenshots of the web UI related to this. I run my agent sessions from this toolset's repo which may run under a worktree and can checkout sub-repos where real work happens. I usually have it ingest and model systems before working on a related ticket. Had to add some anonymizing functionality.

I call it DUMBO - Domain Utility for Managed Business Objects. Lots of metaphors at play here with dumbo+elephants. When you work for an old org you might have a lot of undocumented code spread across repos and teams. This helps me make core changes while understanding downstream dependencies.

Mr. West, you have that Nazi fascist Musk on you. Desperation is a stinky "cologne".

Pretty grim footnote to West's career that he ended up serving the richest man in the world's successful attempt to restore white nationalism to the US government.

MAJOR UPDATE: Shortly after this published, I obtained another document confirming this will be a removal flight only. If carried out, it would be the largest third-country removal to Africa so far: 25 people to Eq. Guinea, 30 to Burundi + 100 to Central African Rep. prospect.org/2026/10/21/i...

With this week's pile of security incidents and patches, I'm *really* happy that I started back up on this a month ago. Now I can point agents at CVEs and have it review in relation to my infrastructure. And now I'm looking especially forward to this Friday & Saturday @bsidespdx.bsky.social event!

I'm revisiting some Ansible work (w/ Claude) that I was doing maybe a year ago for my homelab env. Reorganizing it, backfilling playbooks for creating some of my already existing resources (previously setup by hand). Exploring setting things up in such the way I've been thinking about for awhile.

"In either scenario the problem is that Zuck has too much power, and the answer should be to make sure Zuck has less power by moving to systems no single billionaire, no single politician, no single entity anywhere can control." Interesting note re: "Claude" (tool) activity, too.

There's a real effort from a class of very aloof, sensible economists to undermine the emerging antitrust movement. They fell over themselves to dismiss "greedflation," a theory that keeps finding validation, as hysterical populism. Egg on their faces, I guess. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

politico.comMaybe There Was an Egg Cartel After AllFor years, economists dismissed collusion as crankery and blamed bird flu for high prices. Then the feds found evidence that could prove the cranks right, and almost nobody noticed.

"It also collects bids that egg producers make for each other’s surplus inventory on an exchange called Egg Clearinghouse, Inc. Urner Barry takes in those bids even before they lead to any sale, as a signal of demand."

"The data it then publishes, broken down by regions of the country, sets suppliers’ big contracts with Walmart and other large retailers, ultimately trickling down to what you’re seeing at your local store."

“Do you think that Trump is attempting to overthrow democracy?” I asked. “Because I do, and think it’s obvious that he is. And I think that the fact that mainstream media won't say it makes it more likely that it’s going to happen.”

Goldfinch birds love this seed mix, but it comes with peanuts that otherwise get stuck in the feeder so I separate them. There's a pretty clear difference between the peanuts that came from the previous bag two months ago vs the bag I picked up over the weekend. Is this a sign of the economy?
