Trump Wants Venezuela's Oil. Getting It Might Not Be So Simple

The administration has made it clear that Nicolás Maduro's capture was tied to Venezuela's vast oil reserves. Much less certain is how US companies will actually access them—or if they even want to.

Bush at war

Bush at the start of the Iraq war when MSNBC called him a visionary. He looked pretty lost at the time, I remember -- and we all hoped that wasn't true, we hoped he knew what he was doing.

NFL Playoff Scenarios

nflplayoffscenarios.com/

What a great site (and Bluesky account) this is. Just what it says on the tin: all the scenarios for how the NFL playoff seedings can shake out, presented very plainly but clearly. The old-school World Wide Web still has a beating heart.

Writing and editing

I write, post, edit, update and re-post a demo story in the new WordLand.

Working on the user interface almost exclusively now. The basic functionality is built, tested, run in other contexts. It's slow work, but relatively easy compared to the projects I did in the last half of 2025.

Really focused now on shipping something, I'm really tired of working on this, want to start using with other people.

The NFC South Gets The Week 18 It Deserves

The NFC South Gets The Week 18 It Deserves

Here is the only highlight I'm going to give you from Panthers-Bucs, because, frankly, it's what you deserve for clicking on a blog about the NFC South, thereby incentivizing the continued existence of the division when it ought to be consigned to the dustbin of history, or, barring that, launched into the Sun. It's the game's final play, as chaotic and unsuccessful and poorly thought-out as the division itself.

More Lazy Employment Thinking: Jevons Paradox Edition

More Lazy Employment Thinking: Jevons Paradox Edition

Invocations of the Lump of Labor Fallacy have recently been superseded by appeals to Jevons paradox in claiming that we shouldn’t worry about what AI progress will do to workers. As with the case of calling something a fallacy, a paradox also suggests that those who understand it are smarter and more sophisticated than those who don’t. Case in point is Einstein’s famous Twin paradox, which people love to throw around in discussions of space travel but is quite difficult to actually understand...

Driving back into Austin there was an incredible view of the huge moon low over downtown, just touching the UT tower. Unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Almost pulled over to take a photo, but instead I snapped this from the car. Kind of neat in its own way.

Blurred lights and vague shapes create the impression of a nighttime scene with bokeh effects.
