Chet Collins reviews my book Indie Microblogging. Most people who have checked it out have just skimmed through it a little, which is fine! Love to see a detailed look, though. I still plan to publish a final final draft with a few updates.

Ana Rodrigues blogs about how websites can be good as a playground and for others to learn from:

But deep down, all I want for my personal website is to give back to the web. I want anyone, regardless of skill level, to inspect elements, understand the structure, and learn from readable code.

David Sanger, White House and national security correspondent for The New York Times and the author of New Cold Wars: China's Rise, Russia's Invasion, and America's Struggle to Defend the West (Crown, 2024), talks about the many ways Pres. Trump has upended the post-WWII international order.

The web was initially designed for writers. Styling, links, paragraphs, titles (at all levels). The ability to edit. No character limits. That's what we had to work with when we started blogging in the mid-late 90s. Then there was a big corner-turn in 2006. In an instant th...

Two of my old app ideas have recently become buildable! Which is neat. They’re very different… but, it turns out, connected by the principal of homeostasis – the ability to be self-stabilising. And that, in turn, gives me a new perspective on self-driving companies. Old idea...

A gloves-off trade war with the United States is uniting Canadians against their southern neighbor. Matina Stevis-Gridneff, the Canada bureau chief for The New York Times, explains how the dispute is shifting the country’s politics, culture and place on the global stage. Gue...

At a presser on Wednesday, President Donald Trump seemed unusually angry. He ripped into Chuck Schumer, calling him Palestinian. He seethed with anger at Canada, and taunted the Canadians over his tariff threats. And he snapped at three&nbsp...

SEASON 3 EPISODE 108: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: If Donald Trump were a foreign agent trying to destroy the U-S from within… what would he be doing differently? Crash the stock market, bring on a recession, make it worldwide, with economic...

Great post from John Gruber about Apple Intelligence and the Siri delays:

Leaders prove their mettle and create their legacies not by how they deal with successes but by how they deal with — how they acknowledge, understand, adapt, and solve — problems. The fiasco is that Apple pitched a story that wasn’t true, one that some people within the company surely understood wasn’t true, and they set a course based on that.

WWDC is pivotal. Apple needs to have a much clearer and demo-able vision for AI.

I have very wide error bars on the potential future of large language models, and I think you should too. It's possible LLMs basically lead to AGI, and it's also possible they platteau.

One of the things one runs into when you’re doing large migrations (between domains, or within a domain) is that you run into redirects that go “wrong”. A syste

Matt Mullenweg’s latest actions have Jonathan confused. They discuss Matt’s proposals to slow down releases, his ominous warnings about the future of WordPress, and the unsettling disconnect between his words and actions. Is this a calculated tactic, or a sign of deeper trouble?

Highly recommend this week's New Yorker Radio Hour interview with Stephen Kotkin of Stanford. He's an expert on Russian history, biographer of Stalin, he talks about what Trump is doing, and as I listened I realized we have not filled in how crazy or challenged the leaders o...

For weeks, Americans have watched as Elon Musk and the U.S. DOGE Service have slashed at the federal bureaucracy, making drastic cuts to agency budgets and the federal workforce.  And while President Donald Trump has made clear that he supports Musk, DOGE’s efforts have...
