Rishabh emailed me the other day, asking me to answer the 7 questions of his new blog challenge, and who am I to say no to such a request? So here we go. How was your first experience with AI models? I assume by AI models we mean the current crop of LLMs, and not AI models i...

Friday, May 29, 2026 Yesterday I applied to speak at WordCamp US in August and I also posted bits to my account on Twitter. I got a really nice response from the main WordPress account. Thank you. I now have a platform to speak to the community, and I'll do my best to outli...

John Gruber coining the term dickover for the annoying modals that obscure content:

Couldn’t agree more. You will never see anything even remotely like this on Micro.blog or the blogs we host.

This is what I really accomplished in the years of work I did on the early web. I created something that could be built into a large successful company with millions of customers, and the web got a writing system, and because the people running it took the responsibility seriously, it has lasting value. As the say, still to this day, the systems I designed so many years ago work exactly as they did then. That's what the web was supposed to do. If my mom was still with us, I'd ask her to put this on the fridge. It's as good a review as I've ever gotten. My guess is that Matt wrote it, btw. He's really the only one in WordPress-land who can say something like this, imho.

What a wild week in space news! We were all set to discuss Starship Test Flight 12 and NASA's recent press conference updating their lunar base plans, when on Thursday night, Blue Origin lost a New Glenn rocket on the pad during a static test. The explosion appears to have ...

Loryn Brantz created The Good Advice Cupcake for BuzzFeed years ago. The company licensed the character for a new Amazon series—made with AI—without her consent.

The website, which compares human beings to extraterrestrials, touts arrest numbers from the Trump administration’s sweeping immigration crackdown. But some of its details are really out there.

Pope Releases Encyclical On Perils Of Disney’s ‘Star Wars’ Strategy. “I fear for what horrors the fan base might soon endure, but I would be negligent not to give Andor its flowers.”

In 2018, during a sabbatical from work, I quit Facebook after 10 years on the platform. I made a concentrated effort to unplug for the first few weeks of my time off and just never returned to Facebook, which had become pretty toxic, at least my timeline. My usage of Twitter started to fade even […]

Finished reading: Moonbound by Robin Sloan. Truly bizarre, and I mean that in a good way. 📚

@dave You don’t have much to say about Mastodon or the Fediverse anymore. Have you given up on them in favor of Bluesky, Wordpress, Twitter and of course the web and RSS?

Soon-to-be-laid-off Meta contractors say they’re being treated differently than Mark Zuckerberg’s full-time employees, who stand to receive more generous severance packages.

Radiohead’s OK Computer reimagined as Nintendo 64 songs, featuring reworked sounds from Mario Kart, Super Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Goldeneye 007, and more.

I love AI. I love what it lets me do in software development, in design, in writing. It has opened doors I genuinely never thought I’d walk through. That’s not a talking point — it’s just true, and I’m done softening it to make it more palatable. I know some of you hate it. I […]

Politics doesn’t have to feel like something punching you in the face every time you check the news. We can come together around big, common-sense ideas that most Americans agree on.
