"So what are the lessons from the Parisian revolution? First, pushing out cars improves life for most inhabitants. Paris has reduced traffic accidents, noise and air pollution. More than 300 'school streets' have been pedestrianised; kids play there after school."

Hanging with my siblings and their families to celebrate my late mother's birthday in Bend, OR.

Cognitive DDOS.

No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.

Visiting kiddo in Seattle and getting to know her cats. He’s kind of asshole and pushy, she was real sweet but not the swiftest.

Another interesting share from my kiddo as part of their work on their library sciences degree. The Brian Deer Classification System (BDC) is a library classification system used to organize materials in libraries with specialized Indigenous collections. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_D...

After publishing AI Slopageddon and the OSS Maintainers I wanted to move beyond anecdotes and get a clearer picture of how the open source community is actually responding to AI-generated contributions. redmonk.com/kholterhoff/...

We are really going to regret the technology we have built.

Coldness…

I love having a kid studying library sciences because they share the coolest concepts with me you just don't find easily. discardstudies.com/what-is-disc...

I think the defining line for who we are in the future will be drawn between people who spend their lives online vs. those who spend there lives offline.

William Edward Burghardt "W. E. B." Du Bois — sociologist, historian, activist, Pan-Africanist, and prolific author — had also, it turns out, a mighty fine eye for graphic design. publicdomainreview.org/collection/w...

I'm asking that we all raise our political expectations. We deserve good things.

The ride in Central Park today.

Sure it will be fine.

After her husband, Irv, was fatally struck by a cyclist while on a run in Central Park, Hindy Schachter set out to prevent future tragedies. Hindy doesn't see an e-bike ban or speed limit as the way to make the park safer — instead, she advocates for a better design that works for everyone.

In 2026, you can bet on whether we go to war. And read about it in a newspaper who has a partnership with the bookie. www.wsj.com/finance/stoc...

On this day in 1923, the U.S. Supreme Court held that Indian immigrants had "unmistakable and profound differences” from "white" immigrants and they were legally barred from becoming U.S. citizens.

Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else. If elites can be held accountable in other parts of the world, why can't they be held accountable in America?

Our coffee table is increasingly filling up with zines and physical papers as well as the latest fiction or non-fiction books.

from the perspective of someone who might want to be president, the best time to run for the white house is now, not later. so if AOC is thinking about it — if the white house is her ambition — then her best bet is to throw her hat in the ring

I thought it was just me not paying attention to where the lane was going.

I sat down with Anna Daugherty, CPMM of Arnica to talk about AppSec & governance at the intersection of IDE, Copilots, Git, Pipelines, and source code in today's episode of the Naftiko Capabilities podcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5ZJ...

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will “promptly let the individual go.” For these Americans, that wasn’t true. (Published Oct. 2025)

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Getting better and finding the signal in the noise of today’s market and it had made me realize that there is no signal without the noise.

2006 -- I recommend you maintain your blog, be on social media, and actively maintain an online presence. 2026 -- I just can't recommend that anymore for the average person in my life--it has gotten too hostile out there.
