What connects a mosque shooting in San Diego, California to a Muslim community development in Plano, Texas? The answer is Islamophobia. While many mainstream news outlets have yet to call the May 18, 2026, shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego a hate crime, there is evidence that it is, including weapons covered in […]

The day after a Spurs loss, expect all of my blog posts to have a tinge of anger to them. 🤪

Apple has published another one of their reports about all the money that is even loosely related to the App Store. It’s misleading and maybe even dishonest:

Apple today announced the global App Store ecosystem facilitated over $1.4 trillion in developer billings and sales in 2025, according to a new study by economists at Analysis Group. For more than 90 percent of the billings and sales facilitated by the App Store ecosystem, developers did not pay any commission to Apple.

Is my Micro.blog revenue “facilitated” by the App Store? Ridiculous. App Store policy is a sunk boat.

It's almost time for the World Cup. Before the tournament, we'll be previewing each of the top 15 teams by FIFA rankings that made the tournament. Why the top 15? Because that's how many we needed to do in order for the USMNT to make the cut. You can read all of our pre...

Attending a major sporting event can be exhausting, expensive, and demeaning. But there has always been at least one game-day opportunity that can provide a little bit of satisfaction: the ability to buy an ice-cold bottle of water from a guy with a cooler in the parking lot...

Getting this right and crisp is super important. Open Source when it comes to #AI needs to meet something.

“he Vision sets out clear criteria for AI model openness: labeling models with proprietary licensing as ‘Weights Available’, while labeling models which are distributed under an Open Source license as ‘_Open Weights’…_Finally, the Vision adds criteria for “Open Source AI with Open Data” to describe AI systems where all assets are released free of charge under an Open Source license – including its models’ weights, deployment code, training code, and full training data.”

After sharing a call to action yesterday regarding the closure of the Ocean Monitoring System, we have since learned that data that have been collected are not currently at risk. The NSF Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) has stated that data previously collected will be maintained, with funding available until 2028

Misty Heggeness doesn’t just critique the economy—she reframes it.

The Basic Setup Whether one’s dealing with biology, economics, politics or a host of other fields, it’s common to encounter situations that can be modeled as involving two agents that repeatedly compete with each other. One imagines that at each step each agent can take one of a certain set of actions, and that then—in […]

I got something I’ve wanted for years and years! A camper van! I’m a camper van guy now! It’s a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and even more technically a Winnebago Revel. I scoured Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and RV-specific sites for a long time drooling over these things. I’ve rented a half dozen of them on Ourdoorsy over […]

AI has made it weirdly easy to describe a WordPress idea and get something surprisingly good back: a shop, a portfolio, a tiny product page, a lesson site, a goofy little community thing, or a landing page for an idea you are not even sure deserves a landing page yet. That part feels magical. But […]
