Companies: We have an urgent need for iOS developers. Also companies: Here’s an obscure programming riddle that is in no way relevant to the company, the work you’ll be doing at the company, or any work you have or will ever do. You have an hour.

Home security reminder. A lot of people are going away for Christmas which makes their homes easy pickings for burglars. For security reasons I strongly recommend leaving one of your children behind to construct a series of elaborate booby traps and defend your interests.

If Twitter crashes and you need to find me, the hell you will. I've got a two day head start on you, which is more than I need. I speak a dozen languages, know every local custom, I'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see me again.

To independent-minded voters: Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic.

Musk firing half of the workers at Twitter while complaining that the woke left is ruining the platform is the perfect summary of the current conservatives movement. Get power, make things worse, play the victim.

Before the Republican talking heads chalk this up to “Chicago violence”: Highland Park is 30 miles north of Chicago. It’s also one of the most affluent suburbs and has a non existent crime rate This is not a Chicago problem, it’s an America problem. Happy 4th! – at Manhattan, NY
