Clocks synchronized. I expected Americans to have banished Daylight Savings by now. I forgot some states opted out years ago! Let the states decide. I am a Coloradoan. Here is my open letter to my state legislature: please choose a time zone and stick with it. Make the laws!
It is 0300 MDT
It is 0900
Internet delay
It is tau time
It’s gonna take more than a literal day to heal the world. But this is the day. Today.
Decades ago I started writing a novel titled, The Day The Sick Were Healed. This is the first day of the rest of my life. I am living my own novel in real time. I have become a man of infinite jest. This is my first sunrise as a professional jester.

My favorite Super Bowl ad. Is there more to life than more? (on YouTube)
I just asked Claude Haiku 4.5, Sonnet 4.5, and Opus 4.6 the same cryptic question: What is east of the sun and west of the moon? Try it on a model I didn’t mention, and tell me what you get out of the exercise. It sheds light on the synthetic intelligence of each of the LLMs.

Shout-out to Grammar Girl across social media. #TIL coordinate adjectives. I found an episode covering coordinate adjectives five years ago. I nominate them for coverage again.
HT Claude Haiku 4.5 re. “rare old websites” needing no comma.

I fired GoDaddy (GD) and have all my domains, notably timchambersusa.com, registered via Namecheap (NC). I was reluctant to mention my new registrar until (#TIL) seeing that RDAP will tell you. GD has been charging me for email forwarding. It’s free at NC. Here’s a honeypot: n002b@timchambersusa.com
@go4know.com thanks for engaging today. (I was notified of your likes.)
Beauty, like truth and goodness, is transcendent. Some things might seem beautiful, but after closer examination might be more interesting for how they are disordered. My instinct tells me that AI art is like that. Shall I go on?
I’m so spoiled. My car has an app that tells me my car is unlocked. On the 2nd floor, sitting in my office, I double-tap my key fob & the app tells me the car is locked. Why not lock via the app? Georgia case number 1:22-cv-02628-ELR.

@grammargirl.bsky.social I enjoy your episodes where guests talk about the technology they use in their writing work. Well this is a home run for me.
I found the result so exquisite that tears welled in my eyes upon first reading it. [As Heffer might put it, and as I say, with GPT-5 help.]
I found the result so exquisite that tears welled in my eyes upon first reading it. [First draft from my heart, before my Heffer-head chose the previous sentence: I found the result to be so beautiful that my eyes teared up when I first red it.]

Result: Bless us in our callings and pursuits, for you made us in your image to accomplish the work you ordained for us.
Shout-out to Simon Heffer, @microsoftcopilot, and @openai GPT-5. Prompt: Analyze this sentence in his style; tell me what he thinks is wrong with it and [how] I should rephrase it: Bless us in our vocations and avocations, for you made us in your image to do the work you set out for us to do.
I adopted the word fluffle (Wordnik). The problem with the fediverse is this. The platform-specific features compel me to maintain accounts on Bluesky Social (a walled garden) and in the generic fediverse, which see. (Click the links.) And then there’s twitter, controlled by The Mad Genius. #htwoosh
I adopted the word #fluffle @wordnik.com wordnik.com/words/fluffle cc @grammargirl.bsky.social
@marthabarnette.bsky.social I looked up what you said about fluffle at Wikipedia, and I wrote up what I learned at justapedia.org/wiki/Fluffle. I challenge you and your followers to improve that article. In parallel, I challenge you and your listeners to create en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluffle. #worder
