We got our little one to howl tonight

Well, it's official: github.com/ThisIsMissEm... Yes, the website is currently non-existent. @thisismissem.social is still building it. Patience young padawan.

We brought our friends out for a celebratory dinner to one of our regulars tonight and my drink came out with this note from my favorite bartender 🥲

It's us — in great company with @sill.social, @graze.social, @skyfeed.app and @weare8app.bsky.social! "Flipboard’s Surf is a beta-mode cross-network feed builder/browser supporting ActivityPub, AT Protocol, and RSS. It allows users to mix content sources into interest-based, multi-modal feeds."

BREAKING NEWS: TikTok is changing hands to US investors on January 22 and the algorithm is being retrained! Thanks for being here and supporting @reedharmeyer.bsky.social and me ☺️ Time to get to work 🫡 @skylight.social #tiktokban #tiktoksale #news

I've got The Long Good Friday playing on my other screen this morning while working on some stuff and man Bob Hoskins is electric, what a fuckin' dude

The simplest possible explanation for the Trump administration's actions is that Trump sexually abused minors with Jeffrey Epstein and there is further evidence in the files he's trying to cover up.

Reminding everyone for no particular reason that Section 230 is one of the last things standing between free speech online and Trump having control over everything you see and say on the internet

silly fact: @anisota.net has more paid users than @bsky.app

Yes. The route is not *just* the moral argument of ATProto, it is actually to take *what the ideology and morals of ATProto allows us to build that others cannot or will not*.

Part three of our "Building Recurring Payments in Public" series where we look at real examples to show how our behaviors, constraints, and definitions come together to form the user experience.

Part four of our "Building Recurring Payments in Public" series where close out to talk about brokers and their role in this model. We want to "lock open" and set the example for other services that want to operate this way.

Well that helps to explain this Brooks column from last month. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/o...

Interesting!

Should scientists apply to OpenAI's fund for research on AI & mental health? Should policymakers consider it a credible safety effort? Avriel Epps & I see it as "grantwashing," and it's an insult to anyone whose loved one's death involved chatbots. We explain: www.techpolicy.press/beware-of-op...

We're cooking up a Freaky Holiday Project at Graze right now and I'm so thrilled lol

The Devil You Know is an 8-part podcast series from the CBC and Sarah Marshall (host of You’re Wrong About…) about the Satanic Panic. “These thousands of alleged Satanists were nowhere to be found…” [cbc.ca]

Although this post focuses on behaviors, constraints, and definitions, one thing that we're revealing here is some semi-public-private data and how it's accessed. This touches `com.atprotofans.terms` and `com.atprotofans.serviceRef` record types and provide some examples. #ATProtocol

What does it mean for an online environment to be "toxic" or "polluted" and can we borrow ideas from environmental modeling to make online spaces more livable? @gedankenstuecke.scholar.social.ap.brid.gy has a post announcing a new CAT Lab project citizensandtech.org/2025/12/onli...

Part two of our "Building In Public" series on the design of the recurring payments feature is out. With it, we exploring some of the user stories that shape this set of features and explain the thinking behind them. #BuildingInPublic #ATProtocol

An app that sends you a notification that just says “👀” whenever something bad happens, optionally accompanied by a sad trombone

Recurring payments is a complex set of features with development and user experience questions mingled together. This is something that I have a lot of experience with, so I've written a small series to go along with the engineering plan.

Hot takes, get yer hot takes here!

Colin is great people, glad to have him here in PDX!

I love getting the opportunity to talk to new founders about the startups they're building, but there's something special about spending time with a startup founder who has been building consistently in Portland for years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI8p...

We're kicking off a "Building In Public" series on the design of the recurring payments feature. The first of this four part series gives some context about what we're trying to do and why it matters. #BuildingInPublic #ATProtocol

really frustrating but that weird reactionary pervert john maus does just pump bangers

if mick foley can stand on business anyone can and should

So glad OII is still using the Flying Freak in their branding, long live our little flyer
