I only recently clued in that he's got a picture of the hallway for a hat, and it wasn't just weird sci-fi fashion.

Just explained #CanadaDay to some colleagues, including that Glass Tiger is headlining in my city and now I'm wondering: if we were going to release an "Oh What A Feeling" compilation for the 2000s to now, what would you put on it? #canada #ohwhatafeeling #canadianmusic

Getting @sequoia.pub up and running with my Hugo site was pretty smooth. Thanks for making it easy to get started with the standard.site lexicon! Looking forward to continuing to build on how my personal site connects with the ATmosphere.

Climate.us is officially live! After NOAA ended Climate.gov’s day-to-day operations in 2025, former team members built Climate.us to carry that work forward. Their explanations and graphics have always stood out to me as clear, accessible, and transparent. I’m really looking forward to this reboot.

Since starting a new gig, blogs have taken a backseat but it's rewarding seeing my posts mentioned in the State of the Docs. I think it's pretty important to talk about what you d, and why it matters. There's lots of other good takes from other tech writers too: www.stateofdocs.com/2026/contrib...

I’m reading the Pope’s 83-page manifesto on AI. Notes/quotes 🧵 “Technology should not be considered, in itself, as a force antagonistic to humanity. On the contrary, it has formed part of our history since the beginning as ‘a profoundly human reality, linked to the autonomy & freedom of man.’” 🔥

Tech engineering normalized transparency (status pages, postmortems, bug disclosures) partly to encourage other industries to do the same. Decades later it’s backfired: people hear our issues but not their own industry’s, so they assume engineering is worse rather than more transparent.

I've been seeing people say that the point of computers/apps is to not notice them. I think that's wrong. Give me crunchy and functional apps with lots of things to understand and deep capabilities. I want tools that open up possibilities and have points of friction that encourage me to explore.

It's true that progressives valorize "ugliness." But I think this person doesn't interrogate this position enough and thus lands at the wrong conclusion. Let me give you my perspective on ugliness. 🧵
Someone on Twitter writes: "I've been thinking a lot of the left-wing valorisation of personal ugliness. It's partly ordinary social rebellion ("looking nice" is conformist; think of punks and skinheads and other groups who make themselves look offensive for its shock value). 

It's hard to give examples because I don't like singling people out for their looks. But the more cultish trans activists seem to believe that the uglier a man when wearing women's clothes, make-up etc. the better. (Accepting the ugly is a sign of commitment to the cause.)

And partly, I think, it's about victimhood culture. The uglier you are, the more you are to be pitied and that's a currency you can use. Hence the celebration of obesity (though I think Ozempic will end this eventually) and of all kinds of defiant unsexiness."

This is exactly what I mean when I say that it is impossible to reduce friction, only to move it around. The text-making-up machine dropped the friction of "research" to zero, but every single person downstream of that "research" who has to act upon it now shoulders a double workload.

This is inaccurate. There is no known vulnerability with Signal's core tech. The memo was discussing phishing attempts, which Signal has worked to mitigate. And it was hastily reported. It's important not to spread misinfo that can confuse people into moving away from meaningfully private comms.

A lot of tech people think (or claim to think) people want "innovation". We don't. We want stability. I want tools whose affordances stay the same, that let me do the thing I want to do without having to think about the tools.
