Scripting News: Monday, February 9, 2026

Monday, February 9, 2026
Problem in Drummer blogs. oldschool.scripting.com is now served on https and the code in the template doesn't take that into account. For example, if you try to load the home page of my blog, you won't get through because it can't open the http files in the head of the template. This is something users can fix because you get to change your template. So I'm going to stay focused on my current work.#

Turning Point USA’s Halftime Show Was Exactly What You’d Expect

“The All-American Halftime Show," born out of outrage over Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance, fell short of the hype. From Kid Rock’s poor lip synching to Erika Kirk being MIA, it was simply dull.

Inside Bad Bunny’s Historic Super Bowl Halftime Show

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance required 9,852 theatrical pyrotechnics, nearly 400 costumed extras, and a lot of ingenuity. And yes, that was a real couple featured in the wedding.

Actually, lots of people understood Bad Bunny

43 million people in the U.S. speak Spanish, even if there aren't any at the White House.

Watching the Super Bowl. The Verge has a list of some of the tech-related ads, noting the minor change to Anthropic’s ad between last week and today. OpenAI’s ad is good, similar big picture feel as their ad last year. 🏈

Immigration and Cheating in American Culture

Immigration and Cheating in American Culture

I am an immigrant, which has given me a profound appreciation of the interplay between culture and immigration. My first time in the United States was as an exchange student in Rochester, Minnesota. I was a junior at John Marshall High School. Early into the school year, some students missed an exam and I was told they would be given the same exam as make-up a week later. I was flabbergasted. Obviously they would get perfect scores because other students would tell them what was on the exam! ...

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. The Dems have been AWOL. We never should have gotten to the summer of 2024 where people have no idea of who the freaking vice president is. When are they going to see how swept under the old ways of relating to voters are. We are the government of the United States. Get behind us and let us work our magic.

Inspired by Lindsey Vonn the more I’m reading about her journey back to the Olympics. Heartbreaking crash, but we’ve only got one life. Go for it. 🇺🇸

If I ran Firefox

if i ran firefox, this is what i would say wrt AI in firefox in 2026.

  • 1. ai is exciting!
  • 2. it's also in its infancy.
  • 3. we don't know yet how or if it connects to the web.
  • 4. the web is 100% our #1 priority.
  • 5. so we're going to wait.
  • 6. for now firefox is a no-ai browser.
  • 7. we won't include ai until we know why.
  • 8. and then it will be opt-in.
  • 9. and we will continue to make firefox the best web browser.

sincerely,

the developers of firefox

The Sacramento Kings Are Dedicated To Dignified Losing

The Sacramento Kings Are Dedicated To Dignified Losing
Tucked in the smallest corners of the NBA trade deadline or, as it has come to be known, Giannis Interruptus, there are the Sacramento Kings, quietly making a deadline of their own. And when we say quietly, what we mean is they're not being as brazen in their quest...

Luck Finally Failed Lindsey Vonn
Lindsey Vonn had dreams, and hers had a definite expiration date. She had one last legitimate crack at an Olympic downhill medal because she is 41 years old, and she had to be perfect because the infrastructure of her knees seemed to have just celebrated their 70th...

Coding nostalgia

This blog post by Nolan Lawson is giving me a lot to think about, but maybe not in the way he intended: We’ll miss the feeling of holding code in our hands and molding it like clay in the caress of a master sculptor. We’ll miss the sleepless wrangling of some odd bug that e...

IDEcline: How the world’s most powerful coding tools became second-class citizens overnight

A minimalist, flat-style illustration of a person working on a computer in a dark room. A desk lamp casts a bright, diagonal beam of blue light across the desk and keyboard, while the computer screen displays glowing data charts and lines of code. The person is seen in silhouette with a soft blue outline, focused on the monitor.

During the early phase of my career, I used to spend eight hours a day inside the Visual Studio IDE.

The post IDEcline: How the world’s most powerful coding tools became second-class citizens overnight appeared first on The New Stack.

Most of the attempts of humor in replies to twitter-like posts are of the "you had to be there" variety, as in it might have made sense when you typed it, but I don't get it. And it's even worse, I am irony-deprived, I often don't get jokes, something about how my mind works...
