For the last few months, there's been a lot of conversation around the "Department" of Government Efficiency, which is ostensibly an effort at improving government efficency, with a primary narrative being around government spending. This is not the actual purpose of DOGE, a...

On Friday, Republicans once again selected Rep. Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) to be speaker of the House — but not before there was a little bit of drama. Earlier this week, President-elect Donald Trump took to social media to link the New Year’s Day vehicular attack in New Orl...

My parks page has been stuck at 20 out of 88 for over a month. Making some plans to knock off a couple more soon. 🏕️

I just popped out a realign of the ol’ personal website. I only say realign as I didn’t rethink every single detail of the thing. I’d say probably 40% of the original HTML and CSS are there from old site, 70% of the PHP, and of course 98% of the content. It won’t stay this […]

Brad was able to edit and publish ~20 minutes of Frostapalooza so far. My little cameo is at about 2:10. My heart still sinks that the hired out sound team screwed the pooch on the real audio recordings. But I suppose it’s a lesson for all of us to learn to accept the things we […]

Good morning! Still fiddling with Micro.one, improving things, and updating the FAQ here. In some ways this launch is unlike anything we’ve done before.

Micro.one was effectively a soft-launch yesterday, haven’t officially announced it yet. I learned a few things. Making some tweaks today. Dialing back the custom themes support so that remains a unique part of Micro.blog.

Bit off a little more than I could chew today, so I’m scrambling. Not a great feeling.

Early in the morning on New Year’s Day, a man drove a truck into a crowd of people celebrating on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. In the hours since, law enforcement has discovered key details that point to a possible motive, including an Islamic State flag in the attacker’s car. 

Guest host Rachel Siegel and Justice Department reporter Perry Stein break down what we know about the terrorist attack in New Orleans.

We also talk about the investigation into a possible attack in Las Vegas with some eerie similarities, though no known connection.  

Today’s show was produced by Ariel Plotnick with help from Emma Talkoff and Elana Gordon. It was edited by Maggie Penman with help from Monica Campbell and Reena Flores. It was mixed by Sam Bair.

Thinking again about disabling all support for .php requests in Micro.blog. It’s needless traffic, thousands and thousands of requests a day that go nowhere, looking for WordPress exploits. There’s legitimate use for redirecting old URLs, but it’s very rare that an old blog even exposes .php URLs.
