Optimist: the cup is half full Pessimist: the cup is half empty Sysadmin: Based on trends to date, it’s time for us to discuss whether to migrate to a larger cup, a Redundant Array of Inexpensive Cups, or Just a Bunch Of Cups.

I don’t like that my mental jukebox has chosen today to revisit “Operation: Mindcrime.”

On my "long" weekend ride, I've added a detour into the lower foothills, adding some gentle climbing to my route. On the downhill, there's a speed-sensing limit sign, and the first time I passed it I was tempted to yell “WITNESS ME!!!” But it turns out I was only going 18, so it didn't care.

Remember: here's the breaking news handbook. All of these are good rules to stand by at the moment.

In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
Don't trust anonymous sources.
Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
There's almost never a second shooter.
Pay attention to the language the media uses.
"We are getting reports"... could mean anything.
"We are seeking confirmation"... means they don’t have it.
"[News outlet] has learned"... means it has a scoop or is going out on limb.
Look for news outlets close to the incident.
Compare multiple sources.
Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.

Mitch McConnell absolutely deserves to know what it’s like to live in fear of the leopards eating people’s faces.

/me squees in delight “Alexa, stop ’By the way’.” “Sure. I’ll avoid sending follow-up suggestions in the future.” There is no setting for this in the app. I’ve been all through it. Apparently it’s voice-only. I just hope it sticks. One can only say STFU so many times, I assume.

By the way, did you know Alexa's annoying suggestions can be turned off? Here's how
