Which tech platforms are going to participate in making this happen?

What are people’s takes on Tidal’s recommendation algorithms? Having been boxed into a “trust us, she will only like relaxed French pop” corner by another service that will remain nameless I am giving it a whirl in hopes it might offer more eclecticism.

That dream of extra rooms showing up in my house only instead of being dusty and hidden behind weird stairways and dodgy landings, they were huge, beautiful, and unexpectedly easy to access. I guess this is the retirement edition.

I thought you were talking about apocalypses that happen to pets for a minute there.

Some decades I just get so tired of trying to persuade people to think sensibly about technology.

I have so many thoughts on tech leaders wanting everything messy to be an engineering problem. People and society are not engineering problems.

Learned today that our son uses index cards for recipes. “I feel like a grandma,” he said, “but grandmas know how to do things.”

I switched to Doppler. But I still buy music so I’m a weirdo.

I guess everyone in the northeast who looked up got an eyeful of awe inspiring sky this evening

Very weird incoming storm lighting including a double rainbow in an orange blue sky

a half double rainbow over trees on the other side of a lake. There are a few orange sunset like clouds but no rain.

The Nor’easter cancelling Ed Sheeran’s concerts at Gillette Stadium is hilarious.

Kinda badass not to have a job. I like it. A lot.

What do you use for video chat?

Nancy Baym @nancybaym.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Help? If I wanted to create a system where people could book time with me on a calendar that was integrated with a video call app, what are the best least panopticony ways to do that these days?

There are a number of folks who have written extensively on this problem. The fact the critique isn't better known is in part because the critics don't have the money and media power of the AI lobby. Also they're often women, BIPOC, queer, or some combination of all three.

Protest sign by the train tracks read (in German) “My food. My choice. No to forced veganism” Forced veganism? Really?

One thing you can do without AI is ride a UNESCO World Heritage train route through the Swiss Alps.

My kingdom for bread as good as the bread at the gluten free bakery in Naples Italy somewhere far closer to my house.
