“Misha Misheard 7” by Jake Sheff
Photo by Richard REVEL on Pexels.comMisha Misheard 7 (a Prosimetric Poem)
“True eloquence consists in saying all that should be, not all that could be said.”
~François Duc De La Rochefoucauld, Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims
Their man passes genocidal gas
And our man’s ass makes the gas which keeps
Us young. It’s a gas to see the vastness
Of gas between all the lonely men.
The author of In Praise of Error famously observed that “Seattle is a city of ships and planes” and, in answer to her own question, offered this theory as to why: “[Seattleites] wish to avoid developing that ‘island tameness’ which doomed the dodo.” Sadly, I do not possess the congenital wisdom required for digesting such high-protein quotes. This morning, the blackbirds collogued in a crystal blue sky with pigskin clouds. The great critic (a double genius) would’ve said that the sky was a prose poem, “with its supernumerary hearts and its milewide mightiness all packed onto a page no more than 9-inches in length.” I underlined that line once as a precaution; I say precaution because a pre-monumental line like it is lapidary on the astonished mind. A few of life’s vastnesses were hopping along like lagomorphs in the morning’s sleepless sweetness and, like lagomorphs, they were passively dropping turds wherever they hopped. And for whatever reason, they were mostly hopping wherever I happened to be at the time.
“We judge the characters of men far more accurately from their gas than from their ass.” I believe that was the poet behind the author of Ode to Ignorance. I follow him on that digital parade of fools we call ‘social media.’ (How is one to pass the time except by scrolling through it when one’s riding on the wing of Minerva’s owl? So what if the people below look up and ask, “What’s he got against land that he’s got to make himself a satellite?”) That poet’s mental climate’s naught but calamities. My thoughts are water and more suited to Devanagari than they are to a parental script that I did not choose for myself prenatally—one shouldn’t expect the same, as Horace tells us, from the greatest and the slightest poet. It was the great critic (a double genius) who pointed out that virtue is funny because “it models goodness for its natural predator.” (I wrote in the margins next to that the following: “Dogs bark, cocks crow and men opine.” Now I’d say, “Men either mask their tantrums or deliver mad sermons,” but maybe that’s a case of semel et simul.) When the poet posted a picture of a muntin on Instagram, he wrote this in the caption: “The umami in your mouth has the unambiguous brightness of Miami Beach—nay, rather, it’s the brightest birthright!” A troll in the comment section responded with, “Catamite!” To which the original poster said, “You sound lonely, O, so lonely! Knowing this keeps me unharmed. Besides, I was only kissing his soul. As one of your fellow depressives once wrote: ‘The page may be lewd, the life is virtuous.’”
“Don’t press another man too hard—
A flower press will be your fate.”
“But your smile’s précis did press my heart
Flatter than could any printing press.”

Star Citizen September Report: Bug Fixes and New Ships
https://gampcc.online/2026/10/08/star-citizen-september-report-bug-fixes-and-new-ships/
I finished Season 1 of "The Ark", and I must admit it does get better. The last few episodes of Season 1 are great, and make up for the absolute nonsense that is the first half of the season. I think I came in to the series expecting something akin to "The Expanse", because the writers had obviously thought about long-term space travel (cryo tubes, ark ships in general) and so I assumed they'd be all-in on getting the science right. The second half of the season, and the first few episodes of season 2 that I've watched, are more like Voyager than The Expanse - a plucky crew of misfits having to work together. Voyager wasn't my favourite Star Trek initially, but over the years it has grown on me - much like The Ark has. #TheArk
Two ships were attacked by sea and aerial drones in Bulgaria’s exclusive economic zone, BNT reports. One sank and its crew is missing. Bulgaria’s PM said a Russian attack is suspected but Sofia will not invoke NATO Articles 4 or 5. #Europe
And again adding to this lie that the LEGITIMATE REPORTING SOURCES for this region of the world says ONLY MAYBE 10 to 15 millions of barrels are passing through the Strait daily and that NOT ONE OF THOSE SHIPS ARE TIED TO THE USA. So of course this is Trump saying HE IS THE ONE GETTING THE OIL OUT OF THE STRAIT but that is a "STRAIT" up lie.

A math problem for fifth-graders. Two ships sailing Romania–Turkey and Turkey–Romania, both NATO members, were attacked in Bulgaria’s NATO EEZ. Both belong to Turkish NATO companies. Crew members died.
How strongly will #NATO countries express concern?

🛠️ Tool
===================
herdr web ui: a browser and phone client for herdr
herdr web ui is an open source web client (GitHub: devswha/herdr-web-ui, MIT license) for herdr, a tool that runs AI coding agent sessions in a terminal-based workspace layout. The client exposes those same sessions in a browser or on a phone as an installable PWA, so a Claude Code or Codex session running on the desktop machine can be read and answered from anywhere. The README tagline states the value plainly: Claude Code and Codex, from your phone.
Key features
• Chat view for agent prompts. When Claude Code asks a question in herdr's terminal, the same question appears in the browser and on the phone, and one tap on the phone answers it. The README documents this with live recordings, including captions describing the mirrored question and single-tap reply.
• Live terminal passthrough. One click turns the chat into the pane's real terminal. On mobile, a key bar includes ↑ to recall the previous command, and Enter on the input line runs it. The recorded demo reruns bun test: 5 pass, 0 fail.
• Full layout mirroring. The sidebar shows workspaces with per-agent state, for example checkout-api DONE, web-dashboard RUN, infra READY. Tabs hold panes, split panes list both members (tests and git), and a git pane exposes git log.
• Alerts. The phone can show another workspace's terminal while Claude runs in a different one. The retrieved README cuts off mid-section here, so the alert mechanics are only partially documented.
• PWA install. The client is installable on the phone as a Progressive Web App.
Technical implementation
The client requires herdr 0.9.0 or newer and connects to a running herdr instance; the agents themselves stay on the machine that runs herdr. The project ships a hosted website, an interactive demo instance, a quick-start guide under docs/guide.md, and README translations in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Notably, the README portion retrieved here ends before the install, FAQ, and docs sections, so the transport and authentication model between browser and herdr is not described in the source material. That gap matters: a browser surface into a terminal that runs coding agents is exactly the kind of component whose authentication and network exposure deserve scrutiny, and nothing in the visible text verifies either side.
Use cases
• Approve agent questions from the phone without SSH to the desktop.
• Monitor several agent workspaces from one browser window and read agent state at a glance.
• Rerun a test suite from the phone after an agent edits code, then return to chat.
Installation and setup
The visible README points to a quick-start guide and a hosted demo, and marks the client as an installable PWA. The actual install steps sit in the docs section that was not included in the retrieved content.
Limitations
• Hard dependency on herdr 0.9.0+ running on the machine with the agents.
• Security posture of the browser-to-herdr connection is undocumented in the visible portion.
• The alerts feature is only partially described in the source available here.
Haven't tested this personally. The choice to ship live recordings with captions describing exact test counts is a reasonable credibility signal, but the authentication question is the first thing to check in the full docs before relying on this from outside the local network.
