Scripting News: Tuesday, June 2, 2026
This podcast is called MacWrite for the web. A coral reef for writing. I think the pieces are coming. We just need a little Ice-nine.#
Dries: "For an Open Source company, the test is not only what they build for themselves. It is what they help build for everyone."#
On Twitter: "I envision a network of twitter-like systems built out of components of the web and nothing more. Every part replaceable." #
The only twitter-like system that does text right is Elon Musk's X. I find that somewhat ironic. It's also the only twitter-like system where there's any kind of an actual community. They also have an API that works, has been around for more than a couple of years, and doesn't have a W3C working group messing with it. There's a lot of hype flying around, and we don't have any real journalists covering it so there is no real source of truth. I think the entrepreneurial twitter-likes should stop thinking in terms of owning the web and start adding back the text features the original Twitter thought the web didn't need, over 20 years ago. #

60 Minutes is over, as is the NY Times, Washington Post, NBC, CNN, it’s all garbage, has been for a long time. Think of political news as sports coverage, but without the rules. The whole thing is hanging by a thread waiting for us all to work together.
