Since February, thousands have attended political rallies helmed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York), deemed the “Fighting Oligarchy” tour. Political events with crowds like this don’t have much precedent outside of a presidential campaign. But Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez are hoping to harness anger over the policies of the second Trump administration to push the Democratic Party to support their progressive policies.

Host Colby Itkowitz travels to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to speak with rallygoers and to sit down with Sanders for an interview. 

Today’s show was produced by Laura Benshoff with help from Emma Talkoff. It was edited by Reena Flores and mixed by Sean Carter.

Looking forward to reading through Evan Prodromou’s story on the Protocol Oral History Project. The whole site looks great. There are probably lots of bits of history that aren’t well-documented elsewhere.

4o hallucinated for me today and it struck me that I haven’t seen ChatGPT make anything up in weeks, even though new models are supposed to be worse. Must be because most of my queries now use o3 or o4-mini with web search. If AI can do a web search, it seems to drastically improve the results.

Good timing, it started pouring rain a few minutes after I got home. Listening to the rain now as I settle back into work. 🌧️

I’m trying to do right by my old buddy Christopher Schmitt and his digital footprint. You might remember we made a thank-you site for him where people shared memories. That’s hosted on a provided Netlify account, and the code is on a public GitHub repo. Notably the site doesn’t use a custom domain name, which […]

One thing I started doing over the past few weeks, in an attempt to take better care of my mental health, is using Apple Health, specifically the State of Mind part of the app. I get pinged by my phone a few times a day to log how I feel at that very moment and before bedtim...

I think we're at the "no more new features" point of the first release of WordLand. Learned my lesson on the 0.5.7 release, there comes a point in developing product that it may not be perfect for everyone or for every possible user, and while it has bugs (all software does), it is useful for what it was designed to do. There's nothing else like it out there, and it forms a foundation to build on. So I don't expect to do any further adventures in features for WordLand for a while, instead I'm going to assume it's there and build connections to other software, my own and that of my friends, in this context products that use open formats for interop.

First full day back at work after a couple weeks on the road. I work a little every day, even when traveling, but a day hopefully without any distractions is always nice. Starting with coffee at Cosmic. Server deploys for in-progress changes. ☕️
