What's the best piece of advice you ever got?

Wow. I was losing my mind when USA came back and took the lead. Steph Curry doing his thing. Huge points late from Embiid, KD. Let’s go! 🏀

Worried about USA vs. Serbia. There was a good run in the 3rd quarter but it’s now like it didn’t happen. Everything going in for Serbia, lucky bounces, second-chance points. 🏀

I met a friendly robin this morning.

I guess I was wrong about the topic of Trump’s press conference. There was no topic or focus, just a bunch of random gripes. I had it on in the background because apparently I hate happiness. He makes so many ludicrous statements, it’s almost funny but also tragic and a waste of time. 🇺🇸

Twitter hat sich verändert und das leider nicht zum Guten! Hier ein paar Schlagzeilen: Ich habe, um ehrlich zu sein, keine Ahnung, warum ich immer noch bei Twitter bin, und ich glaube, bei Facebook hat damals wesentlich weniger gereicht, um meinen Account zu löschen… Klar, Twitter war über 17 Jahre lang das soziale Netzwerk meiner […]

Back in Cork, like

I recorded a short video as a status update on the new web-based text editor for Micro.blog that I’ve been working on. Finally on a path that feels like it’s going to work and be a big improvement, while retaining the Markdown-centered approach that we’ve always used.

The Performa series at 512 Pixels continues, today arriving at the Quadra 605, which was my first color Mac. I loved that dumb underpowered computer, from playing Myst and programming, to the crashes when apps expected an FPU.

New rules and fees from Apple today for the EU. It’s getting ridiculous. This page has the fees and it might as well be a spreadsheet.

Is waiving the CTF for iPad apps new? I don’t rememberer that. But paying Apple for external payments is still there, still a no-go for me.

Governor Tim is Mr Rogers for adults. And you know who should play him on SNL? Tom Hanks.

It's wrong that posts from Timothy Snyder, Joe Trippi and NYT Pitchbot are only available on Twitter. I'd like to help their posts reach a wider audience.

Apparently Trump’s press conference is going to be about Walz’s military service. There’s a detailed story here for background. I’ve never served. I only have gratitude for those who have, whether it was months or years, regardless of politics. We aren’t perfect, but Trump is the worst of us. 🇺🇸

My version of the NY Times has campaign news too, featuring the cutest kitty on the trail, headed to North Carolina today to support the cute and adorable running mates, Kamala and Tim! Kitten hits the trail with Kamala and Tim! A real-life photo of Air Force 2, in Detroit.

Every so often, a post goes around in tech circles about how news is bad and we shouldn’t pay attention to it. I think that’s ludicrous. Today’s was a post from 2022 called The News is Information Junk Food. I think it’s a bad argument that could have poor consequences. It w...

I have great respect for Hillary Clinton and supported her over Sanders in 2016. I also supported Biden because we needed to win in 2020.

But we could have had a campaign team like the one we saw yesterday and today, with some very impressive presenters who've yet to take the stage, we could have had it in 2016. We didn't have to go through the tragedy of Trump.

The Democrats are stage managing perfectly now. I never really thought we'd see this day, but here it is.
