There’s a fun site that keeps track of Codex resets. OpenAI is in the middle of a nutty 28-day challenge to ship new features every day or give resets. Feels like a “bank error in your favor” every few days.

Sen. Russian Ron Johnson actually blames the United States for Putin invading Ukraine: It involves US US persons' involvement in Ukraine over many years. Just the way, just the way, quite honestly, we treated Russia after we won the Cold War. You know how we pushed them. Ag...

Could conservatives and liberals have more in common than they realize? Bryan Andrews thinks so. Continue reading…

Anyway, what this means is we’re building a site of files that live in Markdown-Land while what you’re reading right now is in HTML-land (although someday soon you will read them in Markdown too, confusing). Chrome is the authority of HTML. It owns the web. We give up. If this were Westeros I would probably […]

I wrote a piece entitled The Web of Markdown on Oct 6. I have to keep looking it up, but I do remember writing it very quickly and deciding it needed a memorable title, like the ones about textcasting, and podcasting and all the other bits that went on to be something. It’s one of […]

Added the “domain alias” feature to all paid plans, not just Micro.blog Premium. WordPress and Ghost sync available to everyone too. You’ll find it on the Account page → New Blog menu.

Fixed inconsistencies with creating bookmarks and replies via Micropub, properly handling JSON properties for those types of posts. Retrieving blog post source also now includes in-reply-to where it makes sense.

Crossing into Wisconsin. 🚂

Nobody got laid at BYU last night, but it looked like a fun party all the same. The eighth-ranked Cougars hosted the No. 2 Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the big primetime slot on Saturday, and they stayed undefeated by squeaking out a 28-24 win. There was some fourth-quarter ...

Trent McCotter, the unethical lawyer that Todd Blanche has made Acting Deputy Attorney General, seems to be attempting to set a trap for key FBI witnesses in the Grand Conspiracy case, guaranteeing they'll be held in contempt one way or another.

Oregon utility Pacific General Electric (“PGE”) is highlighting the environmental, health, and grid benefits to electrifying medium- and heavy-duty commercial trucks, calling the battery-backed big rigs “batteries on wheels.”

Baiting bears with doughnuts and bacon grease, then shooting them at close range. That’s what the Trump administration is bringing back to Alaska’s national preserves.

Mike Rogers mocks voter concerns about Social Security cuts:

"Anytime you, you know, get the screwdriver in there and adjust it a little bit, the other team goes, 'Oh my God, you're trying to kill seniors. You don't care about people.'"

I wrote a piece entitled The Web of Markdown on Oct 6. I have to keep looking it up, but I do remember writing it very quickly and deciding it needed a memorable title, like the ones about texcasting, and podcasting and all the other bits that went on to be something. It's one of those times when it seems to have potential with other developers, they seem to see the same logic in it that I do. A way to disconnect from VC control of the web and try again with the open basis, the un-owned basis. There was a fork here at some point in the last 10 or so years, we just refused to see it as such. And btw it was not a very polite piece, but I wasn't feeling polite when I wrote and decided not to edit the anger out of it. I don't like having been so wrong. But it's a fact and denying it doesn't change it.

Anyway, what this means is we're building a site of files that live in Markdown-Land while what you're reading right now is in HTML-land (although someday soon you will read them in Markdown too, confusing right). Chrome is the authority of HTML. It owns the web. We give up. If this were Westeros I would probably be joining the Night's Watch. We have work to do and it might be related to what the Other Web wants to do, but it probably (hopefully) doesn't. I will continue to publish in HTML, and it's up to Google and the EFF if the quality of my writing is suitable for their web. I have no say in it, they have not shown up to negotiate or even discuss. They are silent. Somewhat like the maesters of the Citadel? There must be a bigger plan! :-)
