I’m so thankful for the young people who will take up the political fight from here. I’ll be 50 next year, have been obsessed with politics and progressive causes since high school. 2024 has burned me. I hardly care what happens. All I can focus on now is family and making a nice space on the web. 🇺🇸

Good feeling this morning, walking to get coffee and then fixing a couple bugs. Micro.blog does so much behind the scenes that is not obvious unless you have years of using the platform… Always something to smooth over, or expose more bits of info about what it’s doing.

Escape from Twitter: The Future of Social Media Is Decentralized

This is a pretty great article about the decentralized social web, which quotes Christine Lemmer-Webber, Blaine Cook, and me. It’s in Polish, but if you don’t speak the language, the “translate” button on your browser works pretty well. Here are the full remarks I sent Micha...

I thought Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul would be all spectacle. After watching it, I’m not sure how to feel. As a kid I went to see a fight on closed-circuit TV, a quick knockout, over while I got popcorn. That was a lifetime ago. Now he’s 58 years old and back… Like time slows down, but not enough.

I have another Bluesky-related feature ready to roll out in Micro.blog, but will wait until Monday. Bluesky is growing so fast, I’m sure they have their hands full, no sense in adding any extra hits to the API on a Friday afternoon.

Randomly drove by Terrible Love and had to stop. It’s a coffee shop in an old boiler room in Hyde Park. ☕️

What I want from Mozilla

Like many of you, I received a survey today with the title: “What is your dream for Mozilla?” I filled it in, but the potential for Mozilla is so expansive and critical to the future of the internet that I wanted to address my thoughts in greater depth here. Mozilla de...

When I was a boy my mother would sometimes say if I didn't stop belching I wouldn't be able to stop.

Why Repubs won? They campaigned in a new way that the Dems apparently didn't notice (neither did I, not claiming to be better). Repubs were more creative and improvisational. They didn't worry what Jake Tapper or Ezra Klein would think, so came off as more genuine. It's a TV show, acting and suspension of disbelief are what count. It has nothing to do with anything else. Sorry it has to be that way but that's how it is. I don't think they hate women btw, they would have voted for Roseanne Barr or Melissa McCarthy. Maybe Chris Rock, they probably would have really liked Will Smith. Idiocracy was incredibly prescient. No joke.

I predict that people will come to appreciate features that Mastodon has that the other twitter-like social web apps don't.

The I-35 upper decks will be demolished soon. This view is going to look a lot different.

Spotify removed the latest episode of my podcast Timetable because it used copyrighted music. True! The whole shtick of the episode was that the song Thunder Road is playing in the background while I talk. I regret nothing.

Is BlueSky the new Twitter, and if so is that a good thing?

[Mathew Ingram at The Torment Nexus] Mathew wrestles with where Bluesky sits in the future of social media given its connections to venture capital and blockchain supporters: "I have no doubt that, as Cory says, Graber and the other founders of Bluesky are s...
