I’m on both sides of this. I’d never use it in place of writing, I do a lot of thinking when I write and often figure things out. On the other hand I’ve been using Claude to write show notes for podcasts, writing that’s pure chore For me. shownotes.scripting.com/scripting/

The Horrors That Could Lie Ahead if Vaccines Vanish.

I think Trump fired Pam Bondi as Attorney General because he was he’s running out of time to get the election fixed so he doesn’t get impeached next January. his deputy Attorney General, his lawyer, convinced him that Pam Bondi wasn’t gonna get that done and so she had to go.

I think the CloudFlare made a mistake in positioning their emdash product as a WordPress successor, it would better to position it as a delivery system for WordPress content, as a runtime for WordPress, which is happens to be their business and they’re the best at that and people would believe it..

I’m learning about MCP. Looks familiar, like the glue script files in Frontier. I’m interested in hearing from chatgpt/claude users about whether they use MCP interfaces? Do you use them?

Who's interested in…not just Substack alternatives, but blog / newsletter / publishing tools that do something *different*? If that's you, we'd love to hear what you're looking for! Artists, journalists, creators, community organizers: what pieces are missing? What can we explore?

A note to people working in AT Proto or ActivityPub. MCP looks like a juggernaut. I wrote a piece around this earlier. daveverse.org/2026/04/01/t... We're in the middle of explosive growth in AI. It affects everything. I'm rethinking everything myself.

Wondering how the Firefox move to AI is going? I honestly don’t know. I do strongly believe that their only move is in the other direction. What did the non-Microsoft browser mean in the 00s? After Netscape disappeared Into AOL. That’s their legacy. If they have a future that’s where it begins.

See how different the reporting on the war is from the international press to our own. 📌 France 24, reporting from inside Tehran, on the conflicting statements coming from Trump and the White House. Trump keeps shifting deadlines on strikes while claiming talks are “going very well.”

Immigrants weren’t just filling existing jobs; they were helping create them. That’s Econ 101: jobs are not a fixed pie. More people means more customers, more demand, more businesses expanding, and yes, more hiring.
