Randomly thought of Brendan Dassey today. He’s still serving out his life sentence for, IMO, having absolutely nothing to do with the murder at the center of Netflix’s Making a Murderer.

Strongmen, Oligarchs, & Fascists: Thinking Live with Ruth Ben-Ghiat
A recording from Timothy Snyder's live video with Ruth Ben-Ghiat
Brent Simmons blogs about what he’s been up to with NetNewsWire over the last year. I also created a PR for Inkwell sync in NNW, but the work stalled because I wasn’t confident enough in the codebase to definitely say it’s ready to ship. Need to dust that off and try to get it into an update.

There’s No Place Like New York City
If Claude were human it would learn from you even if they didn't record what it learned in a notebook, two or three times and they would remember.
Not so with Claude. If it isn't written down it will not remember it. Its mind doesn't have memory. It remembers things by writing them in a markdown file.
It's like the movie Memento, where the main character tattoos the info he needs on his body. And then proceeds to misunderstand it. Claude is just like that. :-)

Scholar Eddie Glaude Jr. reflects on America at 250
Glaude's book, 'America, U.S.A.,' looks at the country through the lens of its previous anniversaries and centennials. Today, as in the past, he tells Tonya Mosley, "the divided soul of the nation is in full view." As the 250th anniversary approaches, he says it's time for the U.S. to acknowledge the ways it has failed to deliver on its founding principles. "America has to grow up. It can no longer hide in its adolescence," he says.
Also, Maureen Corrigan recommends three books to help you jump into summer reading.

Not Good on Any Front: Fox Buys Roku
This is not good on any front. It further centralizes our onramp to media, it creates fewer digital TV solutions on the market, and puts so much human data into Rupert’s hands.
“**Fox to buy streaming pioneer Roku in a $22 billion deal…**The deal will give Fox access to more than 100 million global households, along with the Roku channel and its first-party data. Fox oversees a massive sports, news and entertainment network, as well as Tubi, which it acquired in 2020.”
