Brendan Carr continues to threaten media, wanting only “positive” coverage of Trump’s idiotic forever war.
Silencing free speech kills democracy.
Since Republicans won't remove Trump, we must keep pressure on “fixer” Brendan Carr.

Weekly output: Google I/O teaser, satellite-to-phone services, passkeys, connected-home considerations, Matter
I’m spending a few days in cooler confines–Monday morning, I head to Vancouver for the second year of Web Summit’s conference there. And just like last year, I won’t have enough time to do much wandering around British Columbia’s largest city and taking in its stunningly beautiful mountains-and-sea scenery, because I have three panels to moderate over Tuesday and Wednesday (with the conference hosts paying for my hotel and reimbursing my airfare).
5/5/2026: Google Teases I/O Pregame Event. How to Watch ‘The Android Show’ on May 12, PCMag
This was one of the shortest posts I’ve written for PCMag, owing to the paucity of information in the brief teaser video Google published.
5/7/2026: FCC Chair: Starlink Isn’t Enough. We Need at Least 3 Satellite-to-Phone Services, PCMag
I spent Wednesday afternoon at the wireless trade group CTIA’s annual summit in Washington. Most of the talks on the program didn’t yield anything too newsworthy, but Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr’s appearance met that bar even though he didn’t talk about his clumsy attempts to leverage the FCC’s broadcast licensing authority to punish TV shows and TV hosts for being mean to Republicans.
5/7/2026: Passkey-Adoption Report Finds Many Orgs Don’t Know How to Quit Passwords, PCMag
I had an advance copy of this FIDO Alliance survey but didn’t have time to write it up in advance; fortunately, Thursday did have enough idle time for me to get this post written and filed.
5/8/2026: Smart Homes In Practice: Bridging Design, Integration, And Market Promises With Real Human-Centered Living Outcomes, Smarter Infrastructure Summit
I had a brief trip to Chicago–well, its suburb Rosemont–for this small conference. I was a late addition to this panel, in which moderator Lisa An Wong quizzed me and architect Stephen Yas and connect-home integrator Corey Ardell about ways to get homes and the appliances in them thoughtfully wired.
5/9/2026: Matter Smart Home Standard Still Looks Immaterial At Retail, Smarter Infrastructure Summit
The title of this talk I did mirrors the story I did for PCMag almost three years ago; that post caught the attention of the conference organizers, and the chance to revisit the topic and get in some practice with doing a solo presentation led me to accept their travel-expenses-covered invitation.

Trump’s appointed chair of the #FCC, #BrendanCarr, has strongly suggested in public that “#TheView,” which is technically part of ABC’s news division, should not qualify for an exemption that the equal time rules allow for so-called “bona fide” news programs. But the filing from #ABC revealed for the first time the intensity of the agency’s efforts against the network, which have included extensive requests for documents & information about its operations & editorial approach.

FCC Moves to Yank Disney Broadcast Licenses as Trumps Demand ABC Fire Kimmel | Common Dreams
“This is a clear attack on the First Amendment and a political stunt designed to intimidate critics, retaliate against a comedian practicing free speech through satire, and send a message to anyone who dares to speak out.”
https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-fcc-kimmelfrom #CommonDreams
April 28, 2026Press freedom advocates on Tuesday forcefully condemned the #Republican-dominated #FederalCommunicationsCommission—and #FCC Chair #BrendanCarr in particular—for moving to challenge #Disney-owned ABC’s broadcast licenses as President Donald #Trump again pressures to network to fire late-night television host #JimmyKimmel.
“The #FirstAmendment and the FCC’s mandate do not permit the agency to use broadcast licenses as weapons to punish broadcasters for constitutionally protected content they air,” declared Freedom of the Press Foundation chief of advocacy Seth Stern.
