Cameron Cummins-Smith’s grand unifying theory connects the far right’s seemingly disparate obsessions—from trans panic and great replacement theory to anti-feminism and white birth-rate anxiety—into a single ideological system fueled by pornographic narratives: In physics there is this idea of a theory of everything: a single, unified model that can describe all physical phenomena in the […]

I have a Mac laptop that I keep updated with the latest versions of Mac OS. I got a warning today saying that Electric Drummer won't run on the next release of the OS. Now I don't use it very much if at all on that machine, but I wonder. ED is an Electron app, otherwise it's wholly JavaScript. It does include some Node packages of course, but not that many IIRC. This was a thing I wasn't expecting.

An Occasional Book Review

Unsurprisingly, the Denver gorpcore brand that makes many of the best bags in the world has delivered a perfect backpack.

You can significantly improve the YouTube experience with these browser add-ons.

A nonprofit in the city’s most troubled district has turned to robotic meal prep tech to make up for a dearth of human volunteers.

Andy Isaacson is a writer and photographer. His work for The Times has taken him to every corner of the world, and he has transmitted what he’s experienced through his images. But recently, Isaacson took a trip unlike any he’d taken before. Not because of where he traveled, ...

It’s time to prep your kit ahead of the summer season. These tools will do the job.

Garlic, as your grandmother may have told you, repels mosquitoes; it also completely blocks them from mating and laying eggs. Diallyl disulfide, it turns out, deserves the credit.

It's long been accepted that the smoother the surface, the lower the aerodynamic drag. That turns out not always to be the case.

There are black holes that are too big to be born from the death of a star but aren’t quite supermassive either. There’s finally evidence for where those came from.

Previous: A new Frontier: The Real Start The early phase isn’t dramatic, but it’s important. Before Frontier could become useful again, it had to be buildable on modern operating systems, readable, writable, browsable… survivable. This is where the rubber hit the road. One could easily imagine that the hard part about a project like this […]

Worrying makes things worse. Replace worry with preparation and strategic planning.

Saturday, May 23, 2026 I archived prior art as a design method from 2003 on this.how.# I just tried the latest version of the X editor. It's got all the features of textcasting. I wrote a test post entitled "X has nuked the limits, time for Bluesky to follow suit." I thin...

I know it’s a temporary icon but every day I think about switching back to Apple Music just because of the Spotify disco ball. 🤪

This spring, we’re revisiting a transformative conversation with Julia Cameron, the bestselling author who helped millions reconnect with their creativity.

In this episode, Julia shares her approach to creative renewal—from morning pages and artist dates to overcoming perfectionism and quieting the inner critic she calls “Nigel.” She explains why listening is at the heart of creativity, how small daily practices can unlock momentum, and why creative recovery begins with letting go of the need to get everything right.

Whether you’re an artist, entrepreneur, writer, or simply feeling stuck, this conversation is a timely reminder that creativity isn’t something you find—it’s something you nurture.

SUSE and a coalition of European open source companies are asking the EU to make Open Source First a binding procurement principle ahead of the June 3 Tech Sovereignty Package. They're right. But after FAIR, I know procurement preference alone recreates the same lock-in problem at EU scale. Sovereignty needs both the demand side and the supply side.

I’m too slow finishing a book I checked out on Libby, so had to put the Kindle in airplane mode so it doesn’t expire. I do this a lot. But then they’ll be another book I’d like to get into at the same time and now can’t sync it. I hate to DNF books I’m 3/4 of the way through, just losing steam. 📚

Only just learned about Null Island. Love the name. There’s a CNN article today about cruise ships stopping there:

Just a few weeks ago, Holland America announced plans to include Null Island as a stop on its 129-day round-the-world voyage in 2028, following an earlier stop on its 2024 trip.

Amazing and fitting considering how GPS has changed so many things. 🗺️
