I see they have a piece about the "Manosphere." Stop blaming men. Lose that habit now. It's toxic.

It's worth listening to On The Media, interview with Masha Gassen, saying that the authoritarian government will want to define what's true and not. Since we now understand that most of the information flow now goes around the NYT, CNN etc -- even Fox, and largely through soc...

I added a new section to this site a couple weeks ago called TIL (“today I learned”). the goal: save interesting tools & facts I posted on social media One kind of thing I like to post on Mastodon/Bluesky is “hey, here’s a cool thing”, like the great SQLite repl litecli,...

BTW, there's a lot of talk about new ways to communicate that don't depend on silos that could be sold to billionaires. One way to do it is with my product FeedLand. It manages news streams for feeds you subscribe to. I think every publication should share news from feeds they depend on, experts they quote, other news sources they read. We can build our own networks this way. We've done it before and can do it again. The advantage of this approach is that it is truly decentralized and not at all complicated to use. Here's the news stream I provide for readers of my blog. It's the most popular feature on the site. With FeedLand you can create your own.

“Post Reports” co-host Martine Powers, senior political reporter Aaron Blake and White House reporter Cleve Wootson break down the questions many Democrats are asking right now about why Harris lost: Should Biden have dropped out earlier? Did Harris run a bad campaign? Does America hate women?

Today’s show was produced and mixed by Ted Muldoon. It was edited by Lucy Perkins and Mary Jo Murphy.

All of my favorite podcasts are talking about the same thing this week. Can’t listen to them. I’m making progress on some audiobooks instead.

As our centennial series continues, Nicole Gelinas, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a contributing editor of City Journal, a columnist at the New York Post and the author of the new book, Movement: New York's Long War to Take Back Its Streets from the Car (Fordham Univ Press, 2024), talks about NYC's relationship with cars, from making room for them with roads and parking to more recent efforts to make the city more pedestrian-friendly.

Micro.blog does a lot. We have a handful of companion mobile apps because some things are just easier in a more focused app. That allows us to keep the main official blogging app as uncluttered as possible. Over the next few months, I’m planning to take the next step with th...

Trump improved his margin among New Jersey voters on Tuesday, losing by only five points in what has been a staunchly blue state at the federal level for at least a generation. Matt Friedman, reporter for Politico New Jersey and author of the New Jersey Politico Playbook, reports on the shift and what it might mean for the state during the next four years.

I've actually written a lot, but haven't wanted to publish most of it. So many reasons why the Dems lost. Maybe I should just list them. Biden shouldn't have run again. There would have been a primary. Given the result of the election this week, we should have found out wha...

In the days since the election, Donald J. Trump has started preparing to retake the White House. Jonathan Swan, who covered Mr. Trump’s presidential campaign for The Times, and Maggie Haberman, a senior political correspondent, take us inside the campaign’s endgame. Guest:&n...

This week, after Donald Trump won the election, Jeff Bezos issued an extraordinary tweet: He didn’t just congratulate Trump; he also bent over backwards to hail his extraordinary political comeback. We think this is a bad sign of what’s coming: People in key institutional positions going out of their way to curry favor with Trump in advance. How bad will this get? We talked to Philadelphia Inquirer national columnist Will Bunch, author of a good column about Bezos’s bended knee to Trump. Bunch explains what all this portends about the surrender of key institutions in the face of Trump’s coming strongman rule—and what we can do about it.

Platforms and venture capitalists have a long wishlist for the president-elect — but can they survive the chaos of Trump 2.0?

👋 Fellow Webnerds! This is a written version of my talk “Designing DX”. I just want to lollygag about with y’all about this squishy concept of DX. We’ll draw ideas and parallels from the real world (the one with grass, boozy milkshakes, and that glowing orb in the sky that makes you squint). There are […]
