As Europe’s longstanding alliance with the US falters, its push to become a self-sufficient AI superpower has become more urgent.

They say that blood is thicker than water, and what we had was way thicker than blood. Bob Weir on Jerry Garcia. John Mayer gave Bob a great eulogy.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 51: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: In Trump’s War against the United States of America, as he readies 1500 members of the 11th Airborne in Alaska to parachute into Minnesota in a bid to provoke Civil War, as he threatens confl...

We’re on a roll with movies this weekend. Just got back from Avatar 3. Unfortunately while I was away being overwhelmed with the beauty and spectacle of what they put on screen, the Micro.blog servers were being overwhelmed with traffic. 🍿

C.J. Stroud played like a man possessed in Saturday's divisional round game against the New England Patriots. The problem was that for a lot of the first half, the Houston Texans quarterback was a vessel for the spirit of playoff Jake Delhomme. It was a hideous afternoon fo...

Since Bluesky launched, economists, investment strategists, and financial commentators have been building a finance community here, post by post. Now, it’s breaking out.

Luke kicks off Crossword with a surprise and Jonathan rolls with it. They discuss fresh WordPress drama, the plugin review team’s use (or non-use) of AI, and Luke shares his take on AI in WordPress plugins.

On Thursday, federal prosecutors in Philadelphia brought charges against 26 people they say were involved in a scheme to fix bets on college basketball and Chinese Basketball Association games. The point-shaving scheme, according to a 70-page indictment unsealed that morning...

I always thought I was lucky to grow up in the 20th century. I didn’t even realize how poor my family was until years later. But the future is going to be much better for our grandchildren. I was born too early! It’s hard to see because the last decade has been such a setback for social progress.

First impressions can be deceiving, but the opening seconds of Saturday’s 49ers-Seahawks NFC divisional round game really did presage the lopsided evening to follow. Maybe the game was over before it began: The Niners won the toss and deferred, perhaps to get a better look a...

Going back and forth between bug fixing and something new. So fun to start from a blank slate, yet still be able to build on all the plumbing we’ve built in Micro.blog APIs for years.

I really wish the new Digg had somehow been built on AT or ActivityPub so that it would grow faster, feels quiet even with the doors open

As I mentioned to the supporters on Ko-fi a week ago, I am currently considering the possibility of pausing the series at the end of this third year, with the last interview going live on August 28th. There are a few reasons for this. The first reason is that running the ser...

I've been trying to stay out of politics here lately (did you notice), but I don't get how Americans, no matter who they voted for, can watch what's happening in Minneapolis and not feel like we have to protect the people there from the thugs who are attacking them. And of c...

Why now? Because there are probably still enough in the military who believe in the rule of law who will obey an act of Congress. I don't imagine that will last much longer the way things are going.

News broke Wednesday that John Harbaugh would be hired as the next head coach of the New York Giants, but then the deal continued to be, as they say, hammered out. There must have been a lot of hammers banging away at that thing, because the team's official announcement was ...

Wish I knew more about the reason for this post from Eugen Rochko, although we can guess:

I will be opting my account out of the #Bluesky bridge next week. If you follow me from Bluesky (I think there are about 3.9K of you) and want to continue seeing my posts you will need to get an account on the fediverse. Cheers.

Last year there were periods of time when I stopped sending my blog posts to the fediverse. So that’s similar, right? Maybe. Bridgy Fed is an unusual case because of how dramatic the opt-in / opt-out story unfolded.

I know I’ve mentioned a ton of times: while I enjoy playing videos games sometimes, a little, I enjoy watching other people play them more. Even as a little kid. Like an awesome play date would be going over to a friends to watch them play. Perfect world, the friend would only play when I […]

In 2019, I did an overhaul of XML-RPC, and created a reference implementation in JavaScript, both client and server (Node.js).

The missing links from yesterday's podcast.

• XML-RPC website.
• XML-RPC GitHub repo.
• JavaScript reference implementation.
• New JSON encoding.
• The original website was preserved.

Does the California governor's right-wing pivot make any sense?
