If this year was about getting off US tech, 2026 is the year to reassess the digital revolution — what works, what doesn’t; what to keep, and what to reject.

I’ve only just started to consider what needs to change about how I use digital technology, but I’m excited to learn more next year.

"my computer isn't mine"

Last 4 words from:

'for every new worthless AI gadget Microsoft crams into it and for every time the OS inexplicably boots to a white screen and implores me to "finish setting up" my PC with an Office 365 subscription, the real problem is a feeling that my computer isn't mine"

There was a group of young men with Israeli flags at the #ZohranMamdani inauguration event in #NYC today, holding banners reading “No to sharia law!” and chanting tired right-wing talking points. No one paid them any attention.

This excellent article by Molly Crabapple explains why attempts to paint Mamdani as an anti-Semite fail, and how a Muslim man can be part of the continuation of a long tradition of Jewish socialism in New York City.

Noting that the Anti-Defamation League and posh New York synagogues have been Mamdani’s most virulent attackers, Molly Crabapple states,

"When I look at Mamdani, I don’t see some radical departure. I see him an heir to the Yiddish socialism that helped build New York. …

The hysteria of this elite over Mamdani’s ascent would have seemed bizarre to so many of their great-grandparents."
