If my calendar is correct, one of the OG bloggers Anil Dash is turning 50 today! His blog, which I believe has been active since 1999, inspired me with how he effortlessly transitioned between his top-tier fandom of Prince and his thoughtful commentary on the nuances and second-order effects of what we were doing with blogging, micro-blogging, … Continue reading Happy Birthday Anil →

This is great. James Dempsey’s Liquid Glass song:

I made the lyrics as intelligible… as Liquid Glass controls are legible. Come on everyone, sing along! You don’t know the words, but neither do I. 🎶

The relationship between the Los Angeles Clippers, the dubious carbon-credit company Aspiration, and Kawhi Leonard sure looks like salary cap circumvention, as journalist Pablo Torre has convincingly laid out on his podcast. Clippers owner Steve Ballmer had personally invest...

Nilay Patel sat down for a Decoder interview with Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott to talk about NLWeb, an open source effort to allow an LLM-style indexing of small websites and provide local search.

There are two ways to become popular as a sports owner. The harder of the two is to win a championship and not act like an ass about it; the simpler one is firing someone your customers dislike. At Tottenham Hotspur, the first is apparently out of the question, which meant t...

Kagi News looks good! First they define the problem:

Driven by relentless ad monetization, news has become mental junk food - an endless stream of clickbait that destroys our ability to think deeply and clearly.

The opening line of Lucas Schaefer’s novel The Slip concerns the smell of shit: a bold first impression for a debut author. Luckily, reading the book provides a far more pleasant sensory experience. The Slip—set in Austin, Texas between 1998 and 2014— is part boxing novel, p...

I’ve only watched a few clips of last night’s dinner with tech execs at the White House. Is it possible to accept the invitation and not grovel? This is my first draft at a comment: It is great to be here with so many leaders in the industry. <nodding to others around th...
