WIRED spoke with Bloomberg's chief technology officer about the big, chatbot-style changes coming to the iconic platform for traders.

Republicans are blaming Democratic rhetoric for inciting the alleged assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. To that end, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt unleashed tirades at journalists that were soaked in MAGA derangement. One...

Update 4 May 2026: We are sad to report that RightsCon was cancelled by the Zambian government over the political nature of its program, dealing a blow to the global human rights community. SWF remains committed to our human rights work, particularly to expand open social adoption in the Global Majority. Next week the human […]

Weighing 97 grams with a stiff carbon-fiber plate in the sole, Adidas’ new shoes helped Sabastian Sawe beat the two-hour mark in the London Marathon, a time barrier once considered insurmountable.

Got to talk about WordPress again at Nathan’s This Week in WordPress. And yes, I am the danger 😛. I got this tshirt on my travels from NYC to Phoenix, making a dedicated stop at Alburquerque to visit some Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul filming locations.

Following the 2017 inauguration of Mr “grab ’em by the pussy” the world was treated to a deluge of alternative facts. Few were prepared for the new era of “you can just say things”. The rule books were torn to shreds. Whilst liberals were angsting over decorum, the techno-fascists were rising up. When America decided for a second time that a pedo-in-chief was preferable to a woman, all pretence fell away.

Tommy Robinson tweets an image of soldiers walking into the ocean on D-Day. Britain First’s co-leader produces imagery of Muslim men laughing at sad white girls on public transport. An AI-generated song combining kitsch schlager pop with crude racial stereotypes makes it into the German top fifty and becomes number three on Spotify’s global viral chart. Benjamin Netanyahu conjures a vision of an ethnically-cleansed Gaza connected by bullet train to the equally ephemeral Neom. Keir Starmer’s Labo

From the courtroom in the Elon Musk vs. OpenAI trial, Elizabeth Lopatto at The Verge says that the judge denied a request to throw out jurors who didn’t like Elon:

“The reality is that people don’t like him,” she said. “Many people don’t like him. but that doesn’t mean that Americans nevertheless can’t have integrity for the judicial process.”

Turns out if you’re an asshole in public, it might eventually come back to bite you.

I’ve been trying to come up with a simple test that lets you know whether some software is on the web or if it just can be made to appear in the web browser. So here we go.

If you can hook up a piece of the app to the a piece of another app then it’s on the web.

This comes from the basic feature of linking, which is the unique feature of the web.

Every other feature that makes the web the web in my experience is allowing two things to be part of each other.

My thanks to Rec League for sponsoring last week at DF. Rec League is a new app/social network for sharing what you’re into. (Get it? The “rec” in “Rec League” is for recommendations. It’s a damn clever name, and sometimes a clever name is half the battle.) It’s really well ...

Musk’s lawsuit challenges OpenAI’s evolution under Sam Altman. But during jury selection, several potential jurors voiced negative views of Musk himself.

Exploring a clock synchronization problem

Two new filters and columns for keeping tabs on bouncing subscribers — even before they're marked undeliverable.

Weekly “sponsor the whole week at DF” spots are sold out until August 24. That’s a great sign that sponsorships here work. But it’s not so great if you have a product or service that you’d like to promote now, or soon, to the DF audience — savvy listeners and readers obsessed with high quality and good design.

The good news on that front is that the sponsorship schedule for The Talk Show has openings, including for the next few episodes, starting this week and into next month. The general rule of thumb is that sponsorship spots on The Talk Show cost one-third the rate for the weekly spots on DF. I’m happy to work out deals a little lower than that for first-time sponsors. If you’ve got a product or service you’d like to hear pitched on America’s favorite three-star podcast, get in touch.

We keep replaying the same human mistakes -bubbles, strongmen, scapegoats, and panics -because the operating system in our skulls hasn’t updated in ten thousand years.

Semafor reports that Tiny is looking for new owners for Letterboxd:

The Canadian holding company Tiny has spoken to potential buyers, from CNBC and MS NOW parent company Versant to the Hollywood startup The Ankler, about the platform…

I use the built-in movie blogging in Micro.blog and Epilogue, but we also integrate with Letterboxd posters and I know people like it. Hopefully the site ends up in good hands.
