Finished Where The Axe is Buried. Great follow up to The Mountain in the Sea! Highly recommend both for great new sci-fi reads

rewatching NETWORK for a project 👀 and it is absolutely shocking how prescient this film is. it’s like paddy chayefsky was granted a vision of america in 2025 and he furiously tried to turn what he saw into something intelligible to viewers in the 1970s

This could be “the largest public corruption scandal in the history of the United States"—amounting to a $2B bribe from an Emirati royal and the sale of the world’s most valuable artificial intelligence chips to the UAE, despite national security concern. trib.al/iZEOnGq

Shoutout to @bholmes.dev once again for the excellent YouTube content, especially regarding Astro. Not news at all but man, what a great resource. 👍👍👍

Reading more of Where The Axe is Buried and enjoying it a lot. Slide to authoritarianism is made more palatable since we have good fiction about it! Also exploring Astro actions, enjoying those too. It's a full day!

This one's maybe a little on the ling side, but trust me, it's worth it. I've cried reading it multiple times. (1/3)

Loved this movie

this is just brutal and I'm old enough to know it's true

Did you know you can import HTML files as components?

got to post on bluesky, mastodon and linkedin?! if only there was a global network where we all have our own little home. i dunno, some sort of world wide web? we need to make RSS a popular thing again

Treasure!

Reading Where The Axe is buried and so far so good! The Mountain in the Sea was truly excellent and one of my favorite recent books. Highly recommend it!

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

"Bill Kristol quotes George Washington's condemnation of 18th century antisemitism to defend transgender people from scapegoating following the assassination of Charlie Kirk" is an actual sentence

If you are still on X you are supporting this.

If you are curious about what atproto is, what a PDS is, or what moving to a new PDS looks like. This may be a good starting place for you. This is my attempt at explaining some of the basics of Bluesky(atproto) in a less technical way.

current morning routine starts with cluesbysam.com, but somehow and very unfairly to the creators, i can’t help but feel that @samwho.dev is responsible

Call for Papers @imc-leeds.bsky.social Following my recent fieldwork sailing down the Seine in a reconstructed tenth-century ship, @stevedehailes.bsky.social and I are organising a panel on practice-based/experiential research in medieval studies. We welcome abstracts from any field. #Medievalsky

you all know about this right?

Quick question: what the fuck is anyone talking about anymore

Kevin Gausman! 2 hit shutout complete game! Hell yeah!

No better time to post Hunter S. Thompson on 9/12/2001. www.espn.com/espn/page2/s...

Definitely looking for someone to break down how to do some real nice stuff with view transitions on piccalil.li Stuff people can use in their day-to -day. Hit me up if that’s you!

I will never get bored of hearing Matt Damon explaining being in shock listening to John Malkovioch saying the line "If you don't have my money-" when they were making Rounders. He may have taken Michael Caine's place as the king of movie-making anecdotes.

"But Captain, how did they take over the Enterprise?" "They took over how we name colors on our computer."

I love the idea of doing more with links too. This quote is one such example, but I think there are even more things possible w/ ATProto. Links are *resources* for us to use to build things.

"Let the troops come into your city" Insane statement that nobody has ever agreed to. Something only a total villain would ever say.

In my lifetime there has never been a reason to buy a new guitar or even an expensive used guitar. The maintenance is easy. The tinkering is easy. They are such basic devices that you can take them from empty husk to concert piece in an hour with under $200.

What's the absolute best web dev stack now for a brand new app?

Everyone quoted in this story is so damn Canadian I couldn't stop laughing while I read it

Yo artists. I have an iPad to draw on now. What are some quick tips to get comfortable? Anything appreciated. Just wanna be able to get to where I'm able to produce print worthy stuff. I can draw old-skool so really just trying to feel confident with the digital

@knowler.dev I stole your import URL search params idea but used to with "? styles" to optionally include styles in a component (default is headless, no CSS) Thoughts? Better way to do this? Thnx for feedback and original params idea!

Despite most people harping on talking to the customer and incorporating research, I think a lot of people have trouble when they run research and their bet fails. When your whole focus is being right and shipping, you don’t consider that learning is a win.

Critical lesson that I know but always forget. I wish they taught this more in school.

perfection is the enemy of making things. it is an anti-goal that promises a mirage of happiness and does not allow you to finish things. you can spend forever on perfect and never find the bottom. the revelation i had was not to seek perfection in the product, but pursue perfection in the process.

Ken Dryden, a five-time Vezina Trophy winner for the Montreal Canadiens and member of the Hockey Hall of Fame, has passed away after a courageous battle with cancer at 78 years old.
