Sunday, May 10, 2026 I have to say something about the Knicks, who just blew out the Sixers in a sweep, 4 games to zero. They've never played this well. They are more than a deep team of great athletes, they are highly intelligent people and they're all really working toget...

The motivational industry has built any number of small empires on the notion that fear is a problem to be either managed, suppressed or out-manoeuvred. Fight the fear, etc. The language is typically martial - as if fear were a hostile enemy, camped at the gates of your better self.

Gonna have to get a good night of sleep before I can properly articulate how I feel about this Spurs loss to the Timberwolves tonight. But just to say Wemby is being fouled all the time and no calls. 🏀

I have to say something about the Knicks, who just blew out the Sixers in a sweep, 4 games to zero. They've never played this well. They are more than a deep team of great athletes, they are highly intelligent people and they're all really working together. Right now, it feels like a sure thing that they'll breeze through the next round and face off OKC or San Antonio in the finals, and that will be something. But I know that's not the right way to look at it. The next series is going to be with a team that feels the title is theirs as much as the Knicks do. I've been with the Knicks through the worst of times that never seemed to end. And now for something completely different.

Google killed FAQ rich results entirely on May 7, 2026. FAQ schema spam killed it once in 2023, and finished it off this month. The "FAQ schema is critical for GEO" advice now flooding LinkedIn is starting the same cycle in AI search.

I dig into some math so you don't have to

There is nothing that sucks the life out of a good time like someone self-consciously asking whether you are having fun. Maybe a moment ago, you were having fun, but now, faced with their anxiety (or worse, their reassurance that certainly you are having a good time, maybe e...

Mary Bennet, middle of five, has few virtues to recommend her. Unlike her eldest sister, Jane, she is not beautiful. Nor is she witty, like second-eldest Elizabeth. Her younger sister, Kitty, may be frivolous but at least she is good-humored and has a fun nickname. Youngest ...

I keep up with AI by clicking around on X sometimes — sigh 🙁 — and it’s wild how many people still gripe in replies that OpenAI discontinued 4o. OpenAI is never bringing that model back. The overly empathetic, sycophantic tuning was the problem, especially for users struggling with mental health.

Leaflet is a nice editor designed to work with Bluesky. But they've been branching out. They now support email and RSS output. I would love to help them make their RSS outstanding. Could we put a small group of devs to work with the Leaflet guys, I would be happy to be part of this. First suggestions, remove unnecessary HTML markup, each reader is going to strip it out anyway, and if a feed looks nice it gives people the sense that the writer cares. Second -- support rssCloud. It's very easy to do and it means readers who support it will give their users instant updates, it won't have to wait for a poll. And third -- add support for source:markdown, so we can all get together on using Markdown as the common way of exchanging moderate size bits of text over the web. If Markdown had been around when we designed RSS 2.0, it would have been part of it.

Pastor Mark Burns, the president's informal "spiritual advisor," wants to make one thing very clear about the extremely tall gold statue of Donald Trump that was officially dedicated last week in Doral, Miami. "Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf. We worship the Lord ...

When the bell rang to signal the 10th round of the Fabio Wardley-Daniel Dubois heavyweight fight for the WBO world title, a bloodied Wardley rose from his stool and walked off-balance to center ring, as if taking his first steps. The night began well for him: He fired an ove...

Anthropic spent its biggest developer day of the year showing what a managed coding harness looks like at full scale.

In addEmailToUserInDatabase, we can't generate a new emailSecret each time a user confirms a magic link, because email-link scanners (Gmail and others) pre-fetch the URL before the user clicks it. The pre-fetch and the click each call this function, each generates its own secret, and the database ends up with one while the user's browser ends up with the other -- so every post afterwards fails authentication. We mint a secret only on first-time user creation; existing users get back the secret that's already stored. Feedland landed on the same posture in 2022 for the closely-related multi-device version of this problem.
