There's been a slowdown in feedland.org, I believe it's related to a limit reached on the database server. But for now you may see it take a long time to load pages. I have a ticket open with Digital Ocean. Update: Problem fixed. #

Linkblog items for the day.

Too bad they didn't include storage for developer applications. gravatar.com
Can you believe these idiots think this is news? politicalwire.com
The Supreme Court Just Erased Part of the Constitution. nytimes.com
If you're into reading code in outlines, this is the database-level code in FeedLand. The link opens in Drummer. There are comments at the head of the big routines, listing blog-like changes in the code and the thinking behind them. drummer.land

Glad to see a NYT editorial that properly calls the Supreme Court out on their cowardice or corruption, or whatever it is. nytimes.com
Journos seem to think Americans can't understand the basics of world politics, but somehow we understand the rules and history of the NBA, NFL and MLB. The functioning of politics isn't really any more complicated. scripting.com
There's a lot of history here. Google Reader insisted posts must have titles, and at the same time twitter said posts may not have titles, so they could never interop. Truth is some ideas are so simple a title is inconceivable. chriscoyier.net

The three players were celebs: Vanna White, Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik. What was remarkable was how super-human Jennings is. He could solve the puzzle with almost no information. I have no clue how he saw the patterns. He has freakish intelligence. # Someone should tell the kids the Repubs will come for their weed. Just sayin.

If you live to be 81, I bet the last thing you want to do, after the life he's had, is to be in this position. We should get behind him, and tell him so, let him know we don't want anyone else, and we
