I think I heard this parable somewhere in the 14 hours of Alan Watts lectures someone recommended to me in 2017, but here’s a beautiful 2-minute version I’d love to share for everyone going through something. I really appreciate the love and support I received after the WP23 post, and I do want to tell … Continue reading Maybe →

Memory is a funny, fuzzy thing. Most of us can relate to not knowing if our first memories are our own or if they’re based on photographs we’ve seen or stories we’ve heard. Many untold, unphotographed memories are gauzy: I don’t recall specifics, like what year it was, or a teacher’s name, but I do […]

The M-Track Duo HD Producer Pack removes the last remaining excuse for terrible audio and potentially terrible opinions.

Olivia Rodrigo sat down with Joe and Jon for her first in-depth conversation about her new album, “you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love,” out June 12. She discussed the many ways her creative process intersects with the extracurricular noise of pop superstardom, whether...

From specialized motors to the use of machine learning algorithms, Turkey’s billion-dollar hair-transplant industry is the result of a constant process of innovation.

Saturday, May 30, 2026 If I ran Bluesky, instead of trying to fork the web, I'd be trying to become the competitor of Twitter's that is 100% web top to bottom.# Review of standard.site# I walked through standard.site with ChatGPT. You can do it too if you want to find...

In the AI online space lots of folks are arguing about models. Which one codes better. Which one has the bigger context window. Which one wins the benchmark this week. Which one halucinates less. Is Claude Code or Codex or Gemini CLI better, or should I use an open source harness like Pi. The model and […]

Amazing series. Thunder kept it close, had a couple shots to get back in it late. Just a great win. Go Spurs Go! The finals are going to be fun. 🏀

Let’s go, game 7! Crazy that with tonight’s game, the Spurs and Thunder have played each other 12 times this season. Feels like it might be a record in the modern NBA era. 4 regular games + the NBA cup game, and now this series. 🏀

Google made everyone mad again, so another wave of people just learned about &udm=14. Maybe we should all take the hint.

Eddie Glaude, Jr., holds a mirror up to America. Look, he tells us, look! How often I have heard him on television, invited to the camera by Nicolle Wallace to lament another American tragedy and sin: racist murders, the shooting deaths of mere babies, the abuse of immigrant children, the bigotry of the president. Do […]

The post Mourning that which never was appeared first on BuzzMachine.

@dave For some reason the latest two posts on my Bluesky profile are not showing up in the special way they should. Trying to figure it out. It should show up kind of like this post where it has the blog info at the bottom.

A couple extra things to mention on my announcement about Standard.site in Micro.blog. When you first publish a new long-form blog post, Micro.blog will create the site.standard.publication and site.standard.document records in AT Protocol. It then re-publishes your blog to update the <link> tags.

The <link> tags are in the Hugo template partials/microblog_head.html, which was just updated today. If you’ve customized this template for your blog, you’ll need to incorporate the new changes or delete your version so it falls back to Micro.blog’s default. The latest version is always on GitHub.

I wanted to roll this out quickly, and I’m still not sure on the timing of when Bluesky verifies publications (blogs) to include the new UI in the Bluesky timeline. I’m testing this live with my own blog. Expect a few tweaks here and there over the weekend.

Sarah Perez, reporting for TechCrunch: Meta is doubling down on its subscription offerings. On Wednesday, the social networking giant announced it’s now rolling out its consumer subscription plans globally for its flagship apps, Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp, and beg...

I’ve updated Micro.blog with initial support for Standard.site, a set of lexicons for long-form blogging on the atmosphere. I’m a little late to the party. Thanks to Leaflet, Pckt, and others for leading the way here.

Micro.blog’s cross-posting to Bluesky will create Standard.site records for blog posts that have a title. Short microblog posts (including posts without a title that need to be truncated on Bluesky) will not use Standard.site yet. I expect we may tweak this behavior over time, or add a setting for more control.

Happy blogging!

Daniel Jalkut, on Mastodon (cross-posted to Bluesky and Threads):

My take on AI is, essentially, everybody who’s against it is too against it and everybody who’s for it is too for it.

I concur with this take completely.

(Sidenote: The different reply threads on the three networks speak loudly to the cultural and algorithmic differences between them. Good lord has Meta steered Threads into “make people argumentative” engagement.)

Ok a bunch of friends have their own personal AI agent using OpenClaw or Hermes or whatever. Confession time: I don’t. I haven’t found I need one. I’m a heavy user of agents for coding, sure, and a few isolated tasks. I haven’t found I need one digging through my notes or se...
