Highly recommend the HBO two-part interview with and profile of Mel Brooks who was 99 years old when the interviews were done. Includes quotes from lots of famous comedians. And the philosophy of comedy as art. So many things to say. Why is physical humor the funniest? And the funniest part of all the excerpts was the farting scene in Blazing Saddles. Humans are so damned simple.

Halfway between chess and bocce, curling is experiencing an evolution thanks to technology. From brooms to stones to footwear, here’s everything you need to know about the game’s gadgets.

You could go all in on one pricey, luxe watch or assemble a collection of lower-budget timepieces. Let’s crunch the numbers.

For football fans nationwide, this year’s Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks is inherently exciting. For non-football fans like the Daily host Michael Barbaro — not so much. In this episode of “The Sunday Daily,” Natalie Kitroeff — who is a ...

Sunday, February 8, 2026 Heard an interview with Kamala Harris. She said they had 109 days to tell them who she is. Right there she highlighted the huge mistake the Dems make and continue to make. Ever since the advent of Twitter, campaigns have been every day of every year...

My favorite recent snarky slogan. "Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right." I know so many people who should take that to heart. Acting on being offended is no longer a luxury you can afford. Find ways to work with others, everything depends on it.

BTW, this is what Scripting News in WordPress looks like. I really like it. Just writing. And a modern 2020s blogroll. Room to add more features without too much clutter. The beginning of an upgraded web?

Really happy with the new full-screen post editor that we’ve been working on. It’ll ship on Monday. I think it solves multiple problems at once: sort of a distraction-free mode for writing, and more control over the accessory panes like categories and cross-posting.

Wired reporting on a proposed bill to pause building data centers in New York for three years: Two New York lawmakers on Friday announced that they are introducing a bill that would impose a three-year moratorium on data center development. The announcement makes New York a...

I would love to see a standard model for community news orgs, starting with the city of Washington DC, with some of the reporters who were recently laid off. But the community would be very much a part of this. No more news without community involvement. Let's make it commun...

I’ve noticed over the last couple of years that my shorter posts are often too tightly edited to come across clearly. My short blog posts from twenty years ago might’ve been better. Going to try to write more slightly long-form posts… Not really full essays, just a couple paragraphs.

I’ve seen a few posts recently about how developers will increasingly not even read the code that AI generates for them. Most famously, a blog post from Peter Steinberger: These days I don’t read much code anymore. I watch the stream and sometimes look at key parts, but I g...

I learned how to code on a Texas Instruments TI-59 programmable calculator and then moved on to an Apple II. The calculator had a kind of assembly language and on the Apple I had access to Basic but still wrote a fair bit of assembly code. After a one year stay 1983-84 as a High School junior in the United States I returned to Germany determined to have my own income (as I had seen many other highschoolers do). I found a job writing software for Siemens in their regional office in Nuremberg f...

NetNewsWire for Mac was updated for Liquid Glass, and now the iOS update is out too. Nice work. 2026 is shaping up to be the year of feed readers.

I was chatting with Kevin earlier today, and since he’s unhappy with his mindless phone usage, I proposed a challenge to him: for the next 4 weeks, each Sunday, we’re gonna publish screenshots of our screen time usage as well as some reflections and notes on how the week wen...

Andrea Bocelli singing Nessun dorma at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics is really something. Got chills listening to it.
