Say you're a fully-grown adult who has decided to learn to ride a bike. Inevitably there will be a moment where you're standing there in your helmet and pads while other adults capably zoom past you on their bikes and you think, "Why am I doing this?"

But then, maybe the possibility enters your mind: though your overprotective parents forbade you from learning to ride bikes back in elementary school, who is to say you don't possess some latent, prodigious bike-riding abilities that need only an opportunity to express themselves? What are the chances that you're actually the world's most gifted cyclist who has been hidden away unjustly? That possibility buoys you enough to swing your leg over the saddle and make one pedal stroke.

Meta decided to not ban the account and the vast majority of its racist posts even after 404 Media flagged them to the company.

Yikes, noticed especially high load on one of our servers. Think we might’ve had a few runaway Hugo processes chewing CPU. I’m monitoring it, shouldn’t be much visible lag.

load average: 42.60, 33.20, 22.64

I loved watching this. My takeaway: don’t just say what it does, explain how it does what it does.

You'd think after getting blasted by TCU in primetime in Week 1 and struggling to put away Charlotte in Week 2, UNC coach Bill Belichick might show a little humility. But not our ol' Billy Badass! Though his teams in recent years have struggled to grind out wins, he personally is still elite at grinding axes, even if it comes at the expense of the people he's supposed to be helping.

Last week, a story came out that Belichick had banned scouts for the New England Patriots from UNC facilities. The man himself was more than happy to confirm this story after his team's win on Saturday. "It's obvious I'm not welcome at their facility," Belichick told reporters, "so they're not welcome at ours."

I've been calling the next release Radio WordLand. If you know the history you'll understand why. I'll start posting screen shots soon.

Melvyn Bragg, host of the BBC Radio 4 programme In Our Time since its very first episode back in 1998, has greeted me in the same delightfully brusque manner hundreds and hundreds of times: Hello. In 1911 the Dutch physicist Haika Kameling-Honors made a remarkable discover...

Jerry Jones's inability to extend Micah Parsons's contract looks like a boon for all of the 538,967 Packer "owners" out there. After an uncertain holdout-shaped summer for the dominant edge rusher and pillar of an otherwise defective Dallas defense, Jones opted to resolve th...

President Trump announced he will rename the Department of Defense the "Department of War." Fred Kaplan, Slate's War Stories columnist and the author of many nonfiction books and his latest, a novel, A Capital Calamity (Miniver Press, 2024), explains the symbolic and actual implications for this decision, plus talks about the dubious legality of the Trump administration's fatal attack on a Venezuelan boat they say was transporting illegal drugs.

I watched the movie Seven last night, and I can't stop thinking about it. It got a shitty review in the NYT, which usually means I won't bother with something, but this time I decided to give it a try. The reviewer, Janet Maislin, didn't like the acting of Brad Pitt. I thought Pitt was an unlikeable jerk, but I also thought that was the role, but maybe I was wrong. I didn't care. I also couldn't figure out what city it was. It wasn't NY, but Maislin says it was. Usually in a movie set in NY, I recognize many of the locations. There are only a few places movies are shot in the city. But again, I didn't care. What keeps me thinking about it is the story. I'm not going to spoil it. Don't read any reviews before watching it, they pretty much all get in the way of the storytelling.

Screen shot of a post by Evan Prodromou on Masto yesterday. "You publish where you want to publish, Dave. We'll find a way to connect to you. That's the whole point." Indeed that is the whole point. I say it like this. "Interop is all that matters." If our products interop that's pure love. The rest of it is baloney. Maybe I'm not a nice guy. Not my job. We've being fucked over by "social media" for 19 years now, and the new ones who say they're open, and on the web, and decentralized, are not. The only way out of this mess is what Evan said. BTW, I sent Evan a pointer to the subscription list which is my outflow. I use OPML for the list and RSS for the feeds. That's where you will find my writing.

Really respect Anil Dash trying to have a nuanced conversation about AI on Bluesky, surrounded by many AI skeptics. This thread is one place to start, but there are many other posts:

At what point are folks going to try literally any other tactic than condescending rants?

Sadly, AI is so divisive, debate is counter-productive right now. Meanwhile, all the AI researchers are still on Twitter / X, and they’re not going to move to more open platforms where they would just be criticized. So we’re back to information bubbles.

When Aryna Sabalenka dropped the first set of her U.S. Open semifinal against Jessica Pegula, a premature thought struck me: Would this be the greatest tennis season ever without a major title? Sabalenka held down the No. 1 ranking for the whole year thus far. She played 14 ...
