My orange-pedo loving sister said she has to vote R to stop trans people. Me: "I don't fucking care what people want to do with their own fucking bodies. It's none of your fucking business. You thinking you have a say in this is the stupidest thing I've ever fucking heard." 🤬

I am not a Monarchist, but I appreciate King Harald V's support for diversity. His words, 2026: "Norwegians are girls who love girls, boys who love boys, and girls and boys who love each other. Norwegians believe in God, Allah, everything and nothing... In other words: Norway is you. Norway is us."

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.

I tried Instagram for a month, and all I got was staged humor, marketing stuff on any possible products or the promised land of 7-figures income while sleeping. Nothing educational, nothing that sticks,... Work leans into short-form Skilling, so wanted to give it a try. No idea where though

Introducing Microsoft Agent Framework: An Open-Source Engine for Agentic AI 

Innovation in recent years in the conversational and agent AI space has been wild. Microsoft have recently shipped a new open-source engine that brings together the best bits from Semantic Kernel, AutoGen and the Process Framework. In this blog post, I pull together some of the recent announcements, what it means for you, and weave in some of my own thoughts. We cover: Microsoft Agent Framework Why Agents Need a New Foundation The Paradox of Choice What this means for Semantic Kernel, Process Framework and AutoGen What This Means for Your Current Project How long will Semantic Kernel Be Support for Microsoft’s Official Position Azure AI Foundry Integration Signals to Pay Attention To The AI Timeline and Looking Ahead   An Example of the Agent Framework in Action is also included.  Let’s dig in. ~ Why Agents Need a New Foundation In these last 18 months, there have been many disconnected SDKs, platforms and approaches when it comes to shipping AI age

You know how this usually goes...you wind up pulling the monthly AI spend report and the number is just that...a number. "Anthropic API: $14,200." No breakdown, no context, no indication of whether your team built something genuinely useful or spent three weeks regenerating the same 8,000-token system prompt on every single call.The invoice knows what you spent. Unfortunately, your invoice (by itself) has no idea why you spent what you did.The graphic above breaks it down: Five buckets, five cos

I'm genuinely surprised to see how many of these companies discovered AI, and immediately thought: a) "-Great! Now we can get rid of half the workforce!" ...instead of thinking: b) "-Great! Now the same number of people can do more, and generate even more revenue for the firm" Why is that?

Wow who’d have thunk it, vaccines work 🤔 Great news to celebrate.
