Minor bummer that I wasn’t expecting when doing more local LLM work in my app: the mlx-swift package adds quite a bit to application size on disk. Micro.blog for Mac jumps from only 10 MB to about 50 MB. Still relatively small for 2026, though.

Why Did The Brewers’ VP Of Communications Retweet This Racist Crap?

With the Milwaukee Brewers sitting comfortably at the top of the NL Central, you might think that it's an easy time to be their vice president of communications. Post the Jake Bauers highlight reel, oversee some decent memes featuring Bernie Brewer, and let the good vibes keep on flowing. All you have to do is not commit any big misstep. For example, don’t repost Elon Musk tweets in support of far-right British politicians who peddle racist propaganda about Britain being threatened by violent immigrants.

I would go as far as to say maybe just don't retweet Elon Musk at all, but what do I know? I'm not the vice president of communications for the Milwaukee Brewers. Tyler Barnes is, and on Tuesday he popped onto Twitter after a two-year hiatus to weigh in on British politics by retweeting Elon Musk's white genocide propaganda.

Tyler Barnes reposted

Elon Musk

"It is this or death"

Quoted post from Rupert Lowe MP: "Enough is enough - a deep line needs to be drawn in the sand. Talk is weak. Britain needs to say no more, and mean it. A Restore Britain Government, with the British people's approval, would put Vickrum Digwa to death..."

Reviewed my ChatGPT memories after OpenAI updated dreaming today:

In contrast to saved memories, dreaming leverages a background process that allows ChatGPT to learn from many conversations and synthesize ChatGPT’s memory state in order to always provide the freshest, most relevant context to your conversations. Dreaming also makes it easier for memory to include context that occurs naturally in conversation, without relying on explicit requests to remember something.

Claude has dreams too. Codex and OpenClaw use lots of Markdown files to update memory, which makes it fairly transparent.

The Life and Death of Sports Fans

Team Spirit is a wonderful short film for ESPN by Errol Morris about the funerals of die-hard sports fans.

I love the Steelers fan laid out in a recliner under a Steelers blanket in front of a television with a Steelers game on as if “he just fell asleep watching the game”.

[This is a vintage post originally from Aug 2012.]
