On New Year’s Day in New Orleans, a man drove a pickup truck into a crowd of people, killing 14 and leaving many others injured. In the aftermath law enforcement found an Islamic State flag in the truck, and evidence that shows the man was inspired by the extremist group.&nb...

I don’t want to dwell too long thinking about January 6th four years ago. It happened and the re-election happened. American democracy sometimes feels broken, but I think disinformation is the root problem. The fix won’t be easy. 🇺🇸

I was inspired driving back from camping today to record a new episode of Timetable. Dictated some notes while on the road, then recorded it when I got home. A sort of essay to start 2025. Super short, blink and you’ll miss the whole thing.

Because of the freezing weather this week, we’re bumping the IndieWeb Meetup again. It will be Wednesday, January 15th. 7pm at Radio Coffee & Beer.

When haters deny HTML’s status as a programming language, they’re showing they don’t understand what a language really is. Language is not instructing an interlocutor what to do in a way that leaves no room for other interpretations; it is better and richer than that. Tim Carmody, HTML Is Actually a Programming Language. Fight Me […]

I was here last year… This time getting a sticker, at Johnson City Coffee Co. A convenient place on the way to or from west Texas. ☕️

Old Tunnel State Park. Now taken over by bats, this was an old train tunnel to connect San Antonio and Fredericksburg in 1913.

The New York City health department's most recent tally of top baby names put Liam and Emma on top. Listeners call in to share what they named their newborns this year, and whether the name landed on the top 10 list, or if they drew from the past or another well to find a unique name for their new baby.

Manu Moreale: Blogging: you’re doing it right:

If you’re doing it, you’re doing it right. If you have decided to reclaim ownership of your place on the web, you’re doing it right. It doesn’t matter how you did it.

I was on Learn with Jason the other day! Jason and I go way back and it was a dang pleasure getting to hang out with him to chat and build a thing together. We made a light-DOM-y LitElement photo shuffle machine thingy. Mega high five to Toni Lijic where I swiped the whole idea […]

The great thing about using a sytem like MySQL (or any SQL for that matter) is that it's been around for so long that if you can think of something that would be nice to have, you can be sure it's there somewhere. They've had enough time not only to hit all the walls, but to...

How I'd write books with WordLand. Just thinking out loud here. Working with a group of people. It's possible it's just the author and editor, or it could be a larger documentation job, or a report covering a lot of ground. In 2025 we'd use AI to find the threads in our writ...

Since the riot on Capitol Hill four years ago, President-elect Donald Trump and his allies have set out to sanitize the events of that day, changing it from a day of violence into, in Mr. Trump’s words, a day of love. As he prepares to take office for his second term, Mr. Tr...

Over the weekend, Donald Trump unleashed an angry new rant over the news that his sentencing for his hush money conviction will proceed this week. Buried in Trump’s rage was a key tell: He’s signaling that he’ll use his conviction as a pretext to carry out his own autocratic second-term designs. There are also indications that he hopes to milk his sentencing toward other ugly ends. We talked to Adam Gurri, the editor of Liberal Currents magazine, who’s been making good arguments lately about Trump’s pursuit of “personalist” rule, which shapes everything around the personality at the center of his movement. Gurri explains how Trump is already signaling that this is where his presidency will go—and why that’s so ominous. Listen to this episode here.
