Currently at markbernstein.org: and new experimental hypertext visualization, the Sullivan View. Intended for rapid construction of hypertexts, especially when you know something of the form before you know the details.

The Sullivan View, based on the ornamentation of Louis Sullivan

Hey bsky! I’m working on an experimental hypertext tool, using Typescript. Among other things, it supports mermaid diagrams. What else might people want to embed in their hypertexts?

A brand-new, highly-experimental Storyspace variant. (This is an excerpt from my 2016 THOSE TROJAN GIRLS—happy birthday, little story!). Anyone notice what’s unusual here?

I usually get asked a lot of questions about the situation in the US when I’m in Germany. But it hits different when you have coffee with your in-law grandma, a Holocaust survivor, and she says: “What is your plan? This is not 1933 anymore, it feels more like ‘38. Don’t wait too long.”

Why @mark-carney.bsky.social 's speech yesterday was so effective and important. (By me. Main points before paywall; detailed annotation after.) fallows.substack.com/p/a-speech-f...

A Speech for the History Books.

And for the here and now. A memorable discourse on America's place in the world, by the leader of a US neighbor and former friend.

Third call today from (allegedly) QuickBooks, trying to get information about our usage. I assume this is a scam, but what is the angle?

I have spent years of my life studying People Magazine and if this happened last year I would be floored — the magazine felt much more like an SEO farm than even a celebrity publication — but this is very much in line with *very* recent messaging

If a new CEO of Mozilla took an oath to restore the web to its former greatness, they would find a lot of business models open to them. Instead, they’re trying to be part of the tech industry which places no value on the web being a place for open development. blog.kingcons.io

People of Virginia: Go ahead with the 10-1 Dem-Rep gerrymander of your commonwealth. It's the only fair thing to do. It's your duty to history. (My home state of Calif pioneered non-partisan re-districting commissions, but that was then.)

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.
