Coming back to this piece and seeing The Verge’s community and staff (including @reckless.bsky.social) in the comments defending the need for pieces like this and how healthcare, politics, and identity intersect with technology, is why I subscribe to The Verge.

The Empire Strikes Back to the Future

It may not be in the news cycle as much but it’s still happening…

So @tylergaw.com is up talking about his #atproto alternative to Strava

checking in to @atproto.nyc - June 2026 [uoix4ndm] #atprotonyc

"The “60 Minutes” staff applauded Mr. Pelley after Mr. Bilton departed."

I had no idea NYC was exempt from this state law - it shouldn’t be nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/06/01/c...

She is why we know who George Lucas is.

"Mr. Bilton, who has never worked in traditional broadcast news, will replace Tanya Simon, who had been at the show for more than three decades. [...] Ms. Weiss, an opinion journalist with no prior experience in television [...]" www.nytimes.com/2026/05/28/b...

I know for a fact that when I tell my kid about this tomorrow morning, they’ll look me straight in the eye and go: Six. Seven.

Yes- 4,551 No - 2,083

Voting open for another 1 minute... then results

The General Meeting for the #PSFC is getting underway on Zoom. It seems that 8,400 members registered to attend, of which a 1,000 or so were today.

I built a poc atproto based macOS app to do encrypted file sync on a watched local folder. It’s likely a terrible idea but it was fun and I learned so much.

I’m from Ireland and planned to take a year out to backpack around Eastern Europe. A friend told me I should start in NYC (obviously). I’m still here. Profession. Family. Citizen. And a dog.

Long week. Busy days. Small moments like this count.

Long week. Busy days. But I still ♥ NYC

Finally, a realistic explanation behind the movie Vanilla Sky

I need help. I just registered another domain. I really need to finish one (or any) side project before I jump on the idea for another.

This evening I worked on an ATProto-based image bookmarking service. It relies on Bluesky’s PDS infrastructure and it stopped responding. I was convinced my account had been flagged/banned for a terrifying 5 min before learning of the outage. Unrelated; my error handling is much better now :)

This was nothin. “In my day” we’d get the fail whale several times a day as we walked barefoot to school in the snow over broken glass

Hey @anson343.bsky.social - if that’s a regular passkey (seems so) then no, your biometric data (like a fingerprint or face scan) is never saved with the service/passkey provide. Biometrics remain entirely local to your device

What kind of media company would do something so destructive? xcancel.com/baseballot/s...

The administration is now targeting the security of green-card holders, not just those who are undocumented. That is the point: make no status feel safe and call it law enforcement www.nytimes.com/2026/05/14/u...

Yes, “app cancellers” or “app migrants”

I wish I had. Please post updates. I’m invested in this now 🍿

annoyed that someone took the iPad cable from the conference room just now and then returned to my desk and remembered that was me

I remember watching that Eurovision with my kids and my spider-sense was tingling. The attempt to hijack the public vote of a music contest for political messaging is disappointing. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/w...

Silly dog thinks it’s time for bed. It’s not even 11pm.

Mildly disappointed at the number of tech-forward orgs on BlueSky that aren’t using their domain for their handle

There is probably a dedicated word for this in German

The simple joy of a special someone placing an unsolicited cup of coffee in front of you at the exact moment you needed it

Oh, shiny new redesign from @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/why-...

This was so much fun - and inspiring. It was unexpected and wonderful to meet people familiar and new.

Still baffled that we have a .network tld when the abbreviated version .net was there in the beginning

I really hope Mamdani makes this change happen. It would transform a very chaotic area www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Park Slope / South Slope / North Slope

Still hoping for an Edit button

Always nice to be back in Dublin ☘️

Just here to say that actually “biting” the Big Apple is frowned upon over here. It’s, like, super awkward if you do that.

I’m in a small Italian city north of Rome and two people today have come up to me and said “is that a @kottke.org“ t-shirt? Highly unexpected but very specific.

Look what you’ve done @werd.io. Unforgivable.

No idea what the waiter is pushing on me for lunch but I’m just nodding and saying Yes. Am genuinely happy. No brushing up on Italian would help here. She’s truly excited about whatever food is happening.
