@anirudh.fi @oppi.li Hey, are vouch/denunciation records supposed to include a reference to the subject? Just tried creating one and didn't see how they're linked to the user in question. www.atproto-browser.dev/at/did:plc:l...

I will pay an editorial cartoonist to create this for The Handbasket. email/msg on signal if interested.

every time I or other professionals post about how we find carefully managed AI tools useful - whether journalists, historians, coders, whatever - , a bunch of people show up to insist that we must be wrong about our own workflow.

I have some 😬 about "prepare" as a message. We're all standing on the beach watching the tide go out as the tsunami wave builds.

Folks, pls don't share photos godforsaken Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social thieves circulate. Screenshot of a tweet looks like crap. No credit to photographer, a Black man. Support @nashvillebanner.bsky.social! Credit: Martin B. Cherry/Nashville Banner nashvillebanner.com/2026/05/07/t...

Not beating the rap since I was literally dming on signal about the implications for Taiwan of the Ukrainian model of drone warfare when this notification popped up.

What are newsrooms planning to cover during the 2026 midterm elections? MuckRock asked newsrooms about how they’re approaching their election coverage, the barriers they’re facing and how support organizations like ours and news collaborations might be able to help. buff.ly/aiYXB5J

If you are in or near London, they are having a mini-RightsCon at Newspeak House! 🙌🎉 We can just DO things… together. luma.com/dhw92dsa

Very confused to find dair.ai and that it has nothing to do with @dairinstitute.bsky.social.

To whoever is hacking Scratch, a web-based visual coding program for kids, to insert a virus that deletes the projects your kids are working on, you are a supreme asshole. muffin.ink/blog/scratch...

I didn't realize you could include music in a logo like this.

The hangover era of cloud computing continues unabated. People have a hard time conceiving of local device processing: www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfu...

Plus some good (rare!) discussion of the Privacy Protection Act. This case is a good illustration of the labyrinthine way the PPA is structured, with exceptions, caveats to those exceptions, and caveats to those caveats. Judge Trenga more or less cuts to the last page on that one.

Boss Nass arrives at the Met Gala

First off, Yael totally deserves a pulitzer, and now she has one! Second off, _she won a pulitzer and she wasn't even an employee of the org_. That's how awesome Yael is.

Lord I’ve seen what you’ve done for others and I want that for me
