apparently the mountain behind my airbnb is climbable but it's 7,000ft of vert (I've only done 5000ft in a day) and full of wasps so thats a pass
Rusty Shackelford finally finds justice.
A man stole a dead child's identity and lived under that assumed identity for 30 years. He served in the Coast Guard, among other things in that time. Relying on Shakespeare-as-a-pseudonym, he claims he adversely possessed the stolen identity. Wild facts here. Conviction affirmed

This bill would make it illegal to do things like scrape government websites. It would remove the ability to gather information anonymously which would have very bad downstream consequences. I have a video coming out on this next week

I've spent far too little time on the Pacific coast. Only drove through Seattle today but such a beautiful city
But I don't vacation in cities so having fun in grizzly country now
I came close once in Glacier with a grizzly like 40 ft from me and I was aiming it, ready if it came one step closer. But bear awareness (low slow voice, talking to the bear) worked and it went back into the woods and scared some other people

At some point we should talk about how anti free speech the legacy media is as a lobbying body.
Smoothbrain, the bill would make it illegal to even scrape government websites. Tell me you don't know anything about how scraping works and what it's used for without telling me. I scrape our own website!!

A paid shill complaining that giant AI companies can’t steal stuff for free.
She revives the old “it breaks the internet” meme. In 2012 I wrote a history of this phrase and how it was used to kill a similar publishing initiative that Google didn’t like.

Finally finished Anthony Kiedis's memoir. Worked through it on flights without wifi. Parts were for sure interesting but on the whole i lost brain cells. They didn't deserve to die that way.
AI agents signing disclosure forms on behalf of patients could create serious liability for medical providers. Privacy laws like FERPA and HIPAA also rely on rules about authorized access that agents complicate.
Financial and medical institutions may want to restrict what agents can do. Other websites want agents to make full use of what they offer.
A blanket approach to AI agent access doesn’t make sense.
