I think it's probably too late, anyway. Journalism should have reported, constantly, that the house is on fire. And nothing else. Biden's age didn't enter into it you fools. The much bigger story was and is that Hitler wants to be president, and this time he has a plan. It was true then and it's true now. The next question is what will Biden do if Trump wins. It was tough watching Obama greet Trump at the White House in 2016. I can't see Biden doing that. I wonder what ideas they're workshopping in the actual Situation Room.

The background queue for ActivityPub-related tasks in Micro.blog seems to have accumulated 5 million jobs overnight. Some replies to the fediverse will be delayed until I sort out what happened or it eventually catches up.

Good interview from Joanna Stern with Craig Federighi. I’ve got nitpicks with Apple Intelligence in iOS 18.1, but listening to Craig it’s pretty easy to nod along with Apple’s strategy.

Last night I was surprised to see Wolf Blitzer reporting, on CNN, on all the worst things Trump has said, with supporting video. On CNN, one of the worst sanewashing sources for our would-be despot. I can't imagine what happened there. Or maybe I can. Is it possible that the ...

I would pay for a third-party API that works like Apple’s private cloud compute. For the foreseeable future, AI is just going to be better in the cloud. Would be great to take advantage of that with fewer privacy trade-offs.

In this powerful episode of Remarkable People, Guy Kawasaki sits down with Shannon Watts, the unstoppable force behind Moms Demand Action. From a Facebook post to a movement of millions, Shannon's journey epitomizes grassroots activism at its finest. Discover how this determ...

A stark new gender divide has formed among the country’s youngest voters. Young men have drifted toward Donald Trump, while young women are surging toward Kamala Harris. As a result, men and women under 30, once similar in their politics, are now farther apart than any other...

With two weeks to go, the presidential race couldn’t be closer. But if Kamala Harris is to win, how exactly would that happen?  Veteran journalist Ron Brownstein has a new piece in The Atlantic laying out what Harris’s path to victory looks like. The short version: She has to run up massive margins in cities and affluent suburbs, while limiting Trump’s gains among nonwhite and working class white voters. That may sound unsurprising. But the details on how this might unfold are complicated, fraught with uncertainties, and actually plausible, if very difficult. So we invited Brownstein on the show to demystify all of it.

SERIES 3 EPISODE 55: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: The obvious problem with John Kelly going on the record and saying yes, I heard Trump say quote “I need the kind of generals that Hitler had” is that a huge number of his supporters will...

I may have to visit this massive solar farm next time I’m in the area, about an hour outside Austin. 1.3 million solar panels. Made in America so there’s a tax credit too under the Inflation Reduction Act. (Thanks Biden!)

Luke has reached a point of acceptance about the future of WordPress, but that doesn’t mean he’s giving up. Join the conversation as he and Jonathan explore the different paths forward, from Matt Mullenweg’s potential departure to the emergence of a more unified and empowered community.

Really good point from Tim Walz in this clip today:

Donald Trump has already promised that he’d put Elon in charge of government regulations that oversee the businesses that Elon runs. […] Donald Trump, in front of the eyes of the American public, is promising corruption.

Her voice, when she spoke to us from the doorway, was strange. I was in 3rd Grade. Our teacher went away for a few minutes, then came back, crying. She was a tough public school teacher of the old school, the kind my father’s friends would have called “an old bat.” She was not like […]

Because Strata notes are end-to-end encrypted, I’ve gotta rethink how I might build features that are usually server-based. Even simple things like search have to be on the client. If we ship any features that temporarily store data in plaintext, going to make this opt-in and as clear as possible.

In recent months, rapid advances in AI audio technology have made it possible to clone any voice, chat with artificial versions of celebrities like Judi Dench, and make a podcast on any topic in minutes.   Those developments have raised ethical questions, opening ...
