Friday, September 6, 2024 Journalism doesn't come back from the election of 2024, any more than the Republican Party does. # I got a beautiful new Pixel 9 Pro yesterday. It was amazingly easy to move the data from the old phone to the new one. Just turn both on near each other, and click a couple of dialogs. Haven't used it for anything yet. Will report. # Why journalism doesn't come back # There's a difference betw journalism in 2023 and 2024, it really is changing that quickly. They are a mechanism for delivering some really tragic lies now, without correction, and a lot of people will believe them. Esp the two Trump is pushing now about Roe v Wade and Democratic states killing live babies . This isn't a fumbling Trump, the words were written for him, he's rehearsed it, and they're powerful lies, and journalism is carrying it. When they comment, it's far away from the lie, a CYA move, because they'll let him on agai...

Thursday, September 5, 2024 I got a bit of pushback on what I wrote about The Newsroom yesterday . If you think it was great, you should watch it again. They got everything wrong, imho -- and the storytelling is as simple as Atlas Shrugged . If you loved it in 2012, okay -- but we've all been through hell since then. And we know how the news orgs The Newsroom was trying to model dealt with the challenge. They folded. They gave up. It's all bullshit. It's like watching the story of a great war, that we lost. I don't mean bloggers, I mean all of it. If democracy depends on journalism, then it's gone. It can't come back from what they're doing now. Think of the hair-splitting they did in The Newsroom, even the slightest appearance of impropriety. Now they invite politicians on when they know they're going to tell hugely damaging lies about very important things. They're doing the opposite of what journalism is supposed to do. They sure as...

Wednesday, September 4, 2024 I'm watching the HBO series The Newsroom from 2012, it's an Aaron Sorkin show. It's fairly insipid, but for some reason I keep watching. They have a multi-episode controversy as they go crazy trying to source a rumor they've heard that the US bombed a town in the Middle East with sarin gas, and killed a lot of people. In other words they committed a war crime. Turns out they were set up by multiple people, and they went through all kinds of angst over who should resign and who should be fired, and how they would ever regain the trust of the viewers. It is a Sorkin thing so it is by definition overdone, but in the context of today's NYT and CNN and all the other schlock "news" that reports Trump's ever-more-egrious lies not only without fact checking, but knowing for sure the lies are coming. That this has happened to American "journalism" is worse than a war crime. It's what everyone told us ...

Hey there! We've got more tips for you this week, as always. I'm also working on a free email course, where you'll build up an entire composition API from scratch, one piece at a time. It's going to be a lot of fun, and I'll send it out to you when it's ready! — Michael 🔥 Calling a Method from Outside of the Component You can call a method from outside of a component by giving it a ref : < !-- Parent.vue --> < template > < ChildComponent ref = "child" /> < / template > < script setup > c...

Tuesday, September 3, 2024 The blogroll on scripting.com is a real breakthrough. It's actually a feed reader , but don't tell anyone. Actually go ahead and tell them. 😄 # At the beginning of the Trade Secrets podcast on Sept 22, 2004, is when I would say podcasting got its name. Adam and I were the leaders of the community. It had been discussed briefly on the mail list. We all recognized that what we were doing needed a name. There was a consensus, it was a small community by then, very collegial. Dave Slusher had already used the term in his podcast (according to James Cridland ), so I said in the Trade Secrets show, let's just go ahead and use it. I did mention Ben Hammersley. So he's not out of the story, but he's not the person who gave podcasting its name. September 2004 was the moment when podcasting became something. It's rare in things like this that you can point to a moment, but we can here , and the record should make that very c...
