Tuesday, July 23, 2024 Show notes for today's Scripting podcast. # I was able to follow kamalhq on twitter. This report says that Musk is rate-limiting followers on that account. Of course we warned what could happen if a Republican bought twitter, but I didn't honestly contemplate that a fascist would. These days our greatest fears aren't scary enough. People laugh that Musk paid too much for twitter, but if the US ends up as an autocracy, the oligarch that owns the entire news distribution system for the world will probably have the last laugh. BTW, if you want to know why we're so thrilled to have Harris as the candidate, even though we didn't want Joe to give in, it's because no informed and sane person wants to live in a new Trump term. We tried that if you recall. The hope you hear now is much greater than the hope we had when Obama was selling that (though hope was a good word for it). Today it's the hope that we won't be dep...

Monday, July 22, 2024 Show notes for 2004 pre-DNC podcast, part of the Podcast0 series. # For the DNC in 2004, we had a site called Convention Bloggers . It was a river of news feed reader, clearly done with Frontier, of blogs run by people who were at the convention. # I'm doing something new. Trying to initiate topics on the social web. We almost totally respond to external stuff, I wonder how different it would be if we engaged on a more individual level. I've been doing this for a while, but only now am able to explain it. # Looking forward to the NYT deeply analyzing Trump's 78 year old mind and body and his Hannibal Lecter stories. # I'm from Queens too # I grew up in the same part of Queens as Trump, about ten years after he did. His family was in Jamaica, mine in Flushing. Here's a map that shows you where the two houses are. 4.0 miles apart if you take Utopia Parkway . A great name for a street, but it's not a parkw...

Sunday, July 21, 2024 The earth shook today . I'm watching the news like everyone else after President Biden withdrew. There really is a lot happening very quickly, and the Dems all sound like they got their story straight, for once the Dems sound like a party. How did that happen. NakedJen says we need a miracle. I said that's her department. ❤️ # Today's other stuff # BTW, there is a totally legit and legal way to deal with the issue people are grappling with, w/o any fancy new extra-legal ways of nominating a president that resolves it in a minute, if the Cabinet goes along with the idea that the current president isn't able to do the job, and if being re-elected is a legitimate part of doing the job. # Pretty sure most people don't get that being president is a job, not a role someone plays in a TV sitcom. # Great wealth is poison, that's what's playing out in the NYT-orchestrated overthrow of the American government...

Saturday, July 20, 2024 I trust that President Biden will do what's best for the country. # Pete Buttigieg should be the Democrats' official blogger. Every day a new insight into what makes people do what they do and why the Dems have all the right ideas. He's a perfect spokesperson in that role. A daily Pete. He should do it. # Like it or not, Twitter is still the social web of record . This is something we need to fix. It's going to take a long time, but it has to start. # Isn't it surprising, with old age such an important topic, that we aren't learning more about it? I'm there now, myself -- immersed in it, can't escape it. I guess I didn't want to know about it until I had to. It's a real perspective-shift. # Why ChatGPT is simply better # One great use for ChatGPT, simple recipes. # If you try looking for a recipe on Google they take forever to get to the point, and pop up all kinds of offers when al...
