it sounds hella cheesy/corny, but we really gotta focus hard on cultivating hope and resisting slipping into hopelessness... it's one of the most vital things we can be doing right now

“The subject is interesting. The interviewer is credentialed. They agree with each other at length. Nothing is at stake. No one is surprised.

@justinmezzell.bsky.social you tried building a new Digg without the compelling differentiator of being an open social app. Now try building on the AT network! You have to give up control over users' identity+data but you can build a great app and make money at scale: bsky.app/profile/jaco... GL!

"A Hard Reset, and What Comes Next
Building on the internet in 2026 is different. We learned that the hard way. Today we're sharing difficult news: we've made the decision to significantly downsize the Digg team. This wasn't a decision made lightly, and it's important to say clearly: this is one of the strongest groups of people we've ever had the privilege of working with. This is not a reflection of their talent, their effort, or their belief in what we were building. It's a reflection of the brutal reality of finding product-market fit in an environment that has fundamentally changed."

Someone should be trying to convince Kevin Rose and the people building the new version of Digg to build on AT protocol. Reddit needs to be replaced and nothing would improve the new Digg’s chances like being an open alternative. They’ll have serious funding so will have the best shot by default.

Just as we're learning about the end of DM encryption on Instagram, Moxie announced he's integrating Confer's privacy technology to underpin Meta AI. Full circle—the architect returns to implement encryption at scale on a new platform. Chapter two: exciting to witness, though it feels strange.

Confer is bringing foundational AI privacy to Meta
I started building Confer because I saw how amazing LLMs are, and as a result, how much of our data is flowing through them. Already, AI chat apps have become some of the largest centralized data lake...

Mother nature is the finest artist; the sky is her canvas. #photography
The right half of a remarkably-sculpted mesocyclone of a supercell thunderstorm, photographed at night and illuminated by lightning. The clouds have a clear bell shape to them, indicative of where horizontal air is pulled upward into the storm's updraft. Striations in the clouds hint at the rotation within. While this photo was taken, twin tornadoes were in progress beneath. Central Oklahoma, April 2023.

Our dynamic planet in monochrome, pt. 5. #photography
An aerial view of Shiprock - a volcanic neck quite literally sticking out of the barren landscape like a sore thumb at Sunrise. An exposed dike serves as a leading line, drawing your eyes from the bottom of the image toward Shiprock in the distance. Light from the just-rising sun is caught on the right side of Shiprock and the dike, while the left side of them remains dark. Clear skies are overhead.A look down a long Icelandic canyon, with two prominent waterfalls. The first waterfall is near the camera on the right of the image and cascades hundreds of feet down to the canyon floor. In the far distance, at the end of the canyon, is a second waterfall of similar height. This one has numerous smaller waterfalls above it, with a little mountainous peak above.A look along the columnar jointing on display at Studlagil canyon in Iceland. Large hexagonal pillars bracket both sides of a river fed by a glacier not far upstream. Partly cloud skies are overhead. A massive wedge tornado churns over fields in central Oklahoma. A very well-defined clear slot wraps around the circulation. There is a cow grazing in the foreground, seemingly unaware of the monster behind it. Ah, to be so blissfully unaware...

Our dynamic planet in monochrome, pt. 2. #photography
An aerial image above the summit of Guatemala's Fuego volcano during a particularly powerful eruption. A large eruption column extends above the summit, with gasses swirling around the vent. An incredible number of pyroclastic debris (rocks and chunks of lava) is blasted outward in all directions, peppering the entire frame of the image.The towering, rocky column of Shiprock sticks out of the ground at sunrise, with hazy pastel color skies and clouds above, and a very distant mountain in the background.A photograph looking straight down the center of a road - between brown to yellow fields - that points toward a massive glacier that reaches up into the patchy clouds. The wall of ice has a somewhat wavy appearance, with brown, rocky cliffs on either side.A large, distant tornado chewing up dirt and kicking up dust in far west Texas, with dark swirling clouds overhead and a row of powerlines leading toward the storm.

I've done an unusual number of mentoring calls this week, and one thing I'd like to remind everyone is, you are enough, and you can't forget how far you've come. You're most likely in the best position you've ever been in to build on top of everything you've done until this point.

For the first few moments of sunrise at Shiprock, the long dike cutting vertically across the landscape catches the golden glow of the Sun, casting a miles-long shadow upon the land to its west. The Sleeping Ute sits in the distance.

A dike sticks out from the ground, serving as a leading line toward Shiprock. On the right, the landscape is painted in the golden light of the just-rising Sun. On the right, the landscape is in the shadow of the dike. Clear blue sky is seen above, with a mountain called the Sleeping Ute in the distance.

A family of eight Wrinkled Peach mushrooms grow on a mossy log in a green forest. Taken by me, May 2024A family of vibrant orange enoki grow off the side of a log, their caps are covered in liquid like over-full glasses of water, their gills are illuminated under a bright winter sky. Taken by me, December 2025A piece of decayed tree bark covered in tiny white Collared Parachute mushrooms with wavy threadlike stems, the bark is held between thumb and forefinger in front of a vibrant green forest background.
