Another possible rule for journalism. Employ new kind of op-ed writer. Appointed to a two-year weekly column, where they expose flaws in stories that have appeared in the publication, either news or editorial. They should have expertise in areas your publication covers. They...

I had an absolutely amazing time dancing and playing at Frostapalooza — it was pure joy! 💖

Journalism is very important part of how our country works yet there is no accountability, no checks and balances, no requirement of transparency. There isn’t even a mechanism to disagree with them. most of the time they have the only voice. We don’t even know what they’re trying to do, what their goals are.

Soundchecking for Frostapolooza!

Pretty happy with how the new editor for Micro.blog is coming along. I’m going to ship it Monday. It’ll be enabled when starting a new post, editing a post, and for replies. Not yet for CSS or theme editing. Screenshot here for a quick reply… Notice better highlighting, preview toggle, toolbar.

I would almost add a rule that journalists should have respect for critics, we'll save that for the rules of 2030 if there is any journalism left.

No more lies in news, that's the first new rule of journalism. We've had to live with a journalism that tries to give lies equal stature to actual news, but the two just don't mix. What happens if your news is half lies, the users don't believe anything you carry. This was predicted, in 2016 when it was clear that Putin's Russia was heavily influencing American journalism. They had developed their techniques in Ukraine in previous years, and the Ukraine press and government came to the same conclusion we're now arriving at -- stop at the first lie, turn the microphone off. That's the main rule, main change that has to take place now, in advance of the November election. They may not do it, but at least now we all understand that what they're doing is stupid, wrong, even corrupt. No matter what they don't get to keep their rep if they are laundering lies.

Posted a new Core Intuition, this week covering the latest App Store news with new linking entitlement rules and in-app purchase in Patreon. We also talk about my upcoming Markdown text editor change in Micro.blog.

Thank you for reading the NY Times so I don't have to.

Nice blog post on Writing Slowly about using notes in Micro.blog and getting set up with Strata for iOS.

Watch out when reporters say something said on their air or in their pub is "misleading." What they really mean is someone just lied in their space. Heard it just now on NPR after a Republican was using "talking points" that were "misleading." Of course lies are misleading, b...

Annoyed by yesterday’s server problem. Essentially one of our servers was accepting incoming connections, but it couldn’t connect to another server to verify domain names for SSL certs. The whole point of having Hugo-based static blogs is to minimize dependencies, but there’s always something.

And even better -- here's the RSS feed for my Threads account. This is a huge gateway for interop. I wonder how often the feed updates.

And here's the RSS feed. 😄

And here's the timeline for Kamalahq, via FeedLand.

The way I see it, if the journos are going to lie to us, why shouldn’t we listen to lies that make us feel good?

A few minutes later, the feed is in my blogroll. 😄
