Conversation with John Borthwick

I’m often on the other side, but it’s such a delight to be an interviewer, I really enjoy it and put a lot of work into coming up with questions and shaping a conversation I think will draw out something novel from the person. Besides the Distributed Podcast, I’ve had a chance at at events … Continue reading Conversation with John Borthwick →

my music workflow via Brandon Jones

krrd.ing/my-music-workflow/

Music is super important to me and has been for as long as I can remember. I grew up "fighting" with my parents for control of the radio on long roadtrips (we didn't exchange blows - "name that tune" was the ring of choice). I raided my dad's library of CDs he'd get sent (he was a youth pastor at the time). I'd exchange mix tapes (on actual cassettes) with my older cousin whenever we saw him. In college napster was a revelation (followed by the attempt to do the right thing with all-of-mp3.com).

Watching the Wicked special on TV. I’m fine with it being one long commercial for the movie. Can’t wait. 🧹

My blog has always been a mix of personal posts and business topics. It’s not a collection of press releases. It’s not perfect and it’s not everything. I think where we often go wrong is judging people harshly from a snapshot of their life, mostly out of context. Much better to look for the good.

Staying busy this week. If I stop to let my mind wander, I can start to feel grief inching closer, like a dark fog coming over the water. Gotta stay on ground away from the coast, with things to do, for now.

From the Elon Musk vs. OpenAI depositions, there are a couple more details around the firing of Sam Altman, but it appears mostly the same drama. Smoke but no fire. However, there was this fact that I did not know:

According to the deposition, during Altman’s ouster, Anthropic reached out with a proposal to merge with OpenAI and take over leadership of the company.

How some veterans exploit the VA disability system

washingtonpost.com/podcasts/post-reports/how-some-veterans-exploit-the-va-disability-system/?tid=aud_rsslink&utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports

This year, taxpayers will spend about $193 billion to compensate almost 7 million disabled veterans. Some of the conditions prevent veterans from working or doing everyday tasks – but a Post investigation found that many are receiving money for easily manageable ailments like acne, eczema and sleep apnea. Others are filing fraudulent claims to get money for conditions they either don’t have or from which they’ve already recovered. 

Host Colby Itkowitz speaks with investigative reporter Craig Whitlock about the antiquated rules that have left the system vulnerable to abuse and the failed attempts to enact reform.. 

Today’s show was produced by Sabby Robinson. It was edited by Ted Muldoon and mixed by Sam Bair.

If The Sub Didn’t Split, You Must Acquit

If The Sub Didn’t Split, You Must Acquit

A jury in Washington, D.C. today found a local resident not guilty of misdemeanor assault, a charge he earned by spectacularly and hilariously chucking a large sandwich into the chest of a Border Patrol officer in August.

The state attempted to charge Sean Charles Dunn, the heroic chucker of the hoagie, with more serious crimes, but was forced to settle for a single misdemeanor charge after a grand jury refused to indict him. Dunn's victim, a Border Patrol agent named Greg Lairmore, was struck by the sub after being dispatched to Washington D.C. to help carry out the Trump administration's pointless and fascistic crackdown of the city. After confronting Lairmore and giving him a little of the old business, Dunn whipped an entire Subway sandwich into the officer's chest before leading him on a foot chase.
