    You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism: “Trusted information networks have existed since long before the internet and mass media. These networks are in every town and city, and at their core are real relationships between neighbors—not their online, parasocial simulacra.”

    Simulacrum: “a representation or imitation of a person or thing.”

    90’s Hip-Hop: A 45 plus minutes mix of Golden Era Classics + Rarities.

    Makara Peak Mountain Bike Park Wayfinding: Cool signs.

    Ghimli Sans: A font with “a nice ol' boozer vibe.”

    Marginalia Search: “Find lost old websites.”

  • You arrive at the harbour of a sleepy seaside town ...

  • The return of the Pebble watch

    The new watch we’re building basically has the same specs and features as Pebble, though with some fun new stuff as well 😉 It runs open source PebbleOS, and it’s compatible with all Pebble apps and watchfaces. If you had a Pebble and loved it…this is the smartwatch for you.

    I’m so in!

  • AI Bureaucrats

    You know, the world is being filled with AI bureaucrats that in the armies, in the banks, in the universities, in the governments, more and more decisions, which house to bomb, who is a terrorist, whether to give you a loan, whether to give you a job, whether to give you a place in a university. These decisions are increasingly made by AI. And these decisions are becoming opaque to us.

  • Solitude changes us

    The individual preference for solitude, scaled up across society and exercised repeatedly over time, is rewiring America’s civic and psychic identity. And the consequences are far-reaching—for our happiness, our communities, our politics, and even our understanding of reality.

    From The Anti-Social Century. Emphasis mine.

  • Fiction resists summary

    It is an interesting feature of stories and fiction that they resist summary. You cannot read a summary of Anna Karenina and somehow stockpile its pleasures and charms. Narrative resists compression.

  • Dashboards

    “every dashboard is a sunk cost / every dashboard is an answer to some long-forgotten question / every dashboard is an invitation to pattern-match the past instead of interrogate the present / every dashboard gives the illusion of correlation / every dashboard dampens your thinking”

  • Doing good versus doing nothing

    In my humdrum life, the daily battle hasn’t been good versus evil. It’s hardly so epic. Most days, my real battle is doing good versus doing nothing.
