I wrote this piece this morning on my iPad before I got up. It's a third rail piece. A couple of weeks ago I wouldn't have posted it for fear that it would ruin my life. Today it has to be said because I'm pretty sure this is where we have to start rebuilding the opposition party of the US.

This Veteran’s Day, let’s honor all of the people who have served their country in times of need.

Democrats, devastated by their sweeping losses in the election, are starting to sift through the wreckage of their defeat. Political leaders from all corners of the Democratic coalition are pointing fingers, arguing over the party’s direction and wrestling with what it stand...

SERIES 3 EPISODE 68: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:00) SPECIAL COMMENT: If you're wondering who's the boss here it ain't Trump. Putin refused to call him first and instead had Russian State Television "celebrate" his becoming the 21st Century Grover Cleveland by ...

During the earlier part of the interview, before the focus turned to WP Engine, Mullenweg commented that because WordPress is open source it belongs to all of us who uses it. That’s true, but that doesn’t seem to be how he actually treats the WordPress ecosphere he’s created. It’s a fiefdom in which he wants to call all the shots, and community only seems to be legitimate to him if it’s a community he can own and monetize.

In an ironic twist to the ongoing dispute between Automattic and WP Engine, a newly published website on WPEngineTracker.com is displaying a protest message against CEO Matt Mullenweg.

There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that what's missing in the two-party system in the US is that one of the parties does not own a social network. It is not represented online 7-by-24-by-12 every year, not just presidential election years. Democrats, when you lose it's because you didn't show up. It's happened three times so far, at least. We could have led here because most of the innovators in this space vote Democratic, but the leadership doesn't listen. The voters could get to know all the stars of the parties. People were right when they said they didn't know Harris. It's time to let the leaders rise from the net, not just from the insiders. This is how you do it.

When Maggie Jones’s marriage collapsed after 23 years, she was devastated and overwhelmed. She was in her 50s, with two jobs, two teenage daughters and one dog. She didn’t consider dating. She had no time, no emotional energy. But then a year passed. One daughter was off at ...

I’ve updated my state parks page with today’s visit, hitting the 20th park this year. Good milestone, but a long way to go. Might plot out a trip later this year to hit a few more at once.

Finished reading: Sourdough by Robin Sloan. Enjoyed this so much. Just the book I needed this week. 📚

I recorded a new episode of Timetable today. Still angry. I need to flip the iTunes explicit bit on this one.

I asked ChatGPT: "Based on what you know about me, draw a picture of what you think my current life looks like."

I'd like to hear from tech vendors, asap, which ones will help American voters learn what's true independent of whatever "truth" the government wants us to believe? Who will stand with the people? A good question for all of us to ask. Ask news orgs the same question.

Every current and common explanation for the reelection of Donald Trump — whether inflation or immigration, culture wars or campaign tactics, blaming Harris or Biden or the party — elides its true and root cause: racism.  The United States is a deeply, fundamentally racist nation and unless and until we in white America admit and address that, our endless […]
