I made John Palfrey get a blog. :-)
I know him from Berkman in the 00s where we made some great mischief together resulting in podcasting and other cool stuff.
And as it was in the 00s, having a blog now is a place of power.

r/opensource just banned AI, non-English speakers, and more (The Verge / Terrence O’Brien)
Do they simply hate AI? Or are they overwhelmed by the flood of AI slop?
How important is this subreddit in the broader open source community?
Banning non-English speakers makes this subreddit seem unimportant and parochial.
We should not be asking whether code — or any creative work — is generated by AI. We should instead ask whether it’s good.

I’m working on feedland now so this is a good time to look into it.
Folks here in Georgia are working hard to send @ossoff.bsky.social back to the Senate and elect @keishaforga.bsky.social as their next Governor! Proud to see so many volunteers show up yesterday to get out the vote in the final days ahead of the midterm elections.

Obama is doing the old Obama campaign schtick and it’s something to see. He’s got a few gray hairs, but he’s still got the energy and chutzpah. I’d love to see him and Bernie Sanders on the same stage before this campaign is over. My favorite Obama clip is him wiping the schmutz off his […]

Trump: It's been amazing. You know, the inflation for the last three months? That's now my time.
Multiple Ohio business owners have abruptly canceled campaign events with Vivek Ramaswamy.
This comes after Ohio's Republican governor urged Ramaswamy to take down his attack ad featuring Dr. Amy Acton's estranged mother.
Vivek Ramaswamy's wife: Apparently, Vivek does not support women. Apparently, he is pro-child abuse. Apparently, he doesn't respect doctors.
Okay, I'm new to this, but I've put Giclée prints of 3 of my photos up on a little shop. I chose three that I think would look good hanging on a wall, and one of them actually does hang in my parents' living room. I'm using The Print Space for this if you need to check the trustworthiness of the store.
Obama is doing the old Obama campaign schtick and it's something to see. He's got a few gray hairs, but he's still got the energy and chutzpah. I'd love to see him and Bernie Sanders on the same stage before this campaign is over. My favorite Obama clip is him wiping the schmutz off his shoulder, I forget who he was putting down, but wow it so concise. I also really liked the time when HRC flirted with him about her likeability. "You're likeable enough," he said. Trump gets the votes not necessarily because people are what people call them, he is a comedian, I say this so many times, that's the charm. Young folk may not remember Don Rickles and Joan Rivers, but that's Trump, and the other two probably had a sweet side, but I don't think that's ever been said about Trump. I could be wrong. There's also a bit of George Carlin in there.
