Scripting News: Thursday, April 3, 2025

Thursday, April 3, 2025 We're doing some research into the origins of my family in Germany, learning a lot. # Journalists still sanewashing # They're still sanewashing Trump. # Example. Just listened to Brian Lehrer, a news interview and call-in show on WNYC, which I revere, for many reasons. Lehrer is smart, and doesn't dumb things down for his audience. He usually asks the question I'm dying to hear the answer to, which most reporters don't think of or won't ask. # On the March 27 they had a discussion about Trump's assault on Columbia University, which has now been extended to Harvard and Princeton. In all of them, the main issue is antisemitism at these universities. # Never in the discussion did they raise this question -- # Do we believe that Trump cares about antisemitism? # And if he did, there are much bigger antisemites who are much more powerful and much closer to Trump (who is an obvious antisemi...

Wednesday, April 2, 2025 Cory Booker asked the right question . "Where does the Constitution live? On paper or in our hearts?" Every living American was raised under the Bill of Rights. That's different from other countries which have long traditions of autocracies. Fascism on a mass scale will have a harder time taking root in this country. Joe Rogan said what Trump is doing is wrong. He knows he has the right to say that. Setting a fine example. It will be hard to suppress that. # Gambling and sports don't mix for me. I want a version of games without the gambling. I don't know how parents can let their kids watch games with all the gambling ads. # Linkblog items for the day.

Read this on my blog Hey! The Mastering Nuxt launch has been going well! We added a bunch of new lessons yesterday, with more coming weekly until the course is finished. We're now at 2+ hours of content (I expect about 5 in total). I also got sick over the weekend and lost my voice, so I'm doing all the non-recording things I can until my vocal cords are healed. — Michael 🔥 Special CSS pseudo-selectors in Vue If you want some styles to apply specifically to slot content, you can do that with the ...

Tuesday, April 1, 2025 The chickens of sanewashing come home to roost . # How did the music industry get through hip-hop sampling in the 80s without blowing itself up? I was paying attention to copyright issues in software at the time, we used copy protection, but we knew it didn't work. It was just how things were done. # The beautiful art that came with the season finale of Severance could have been drawn by ChatGPT, it's that good, in the way that machine art is good. There's a point of view reflected in its creations, looking into a soul that in no way exists. We're learning about it, but it's a moving target, evolving before our eyes, in huge steps. # My server has been coughing up hairballs tonight. It coughed up a link to this piece from two years ago, when Twitter pulled the plug on their API. It knocked everything I had built on the Twitter API off the air. Every thing. Just like that. That's what tonight was like here. It was j...

Monday, March 31, 2025 I changed the domain for Radio Free America and the Bluesky channel . It's not a Canadian site. Maybe at some time we can have a version of the news flow from Canada. We may need it! # Bluesky is today brimming with irreverance. # When Apple bought NeXT , it wasn't long before we understood that it was the other way around. # Great artists , before they die, should share their secrets, so the next generation can be even greater. # There's now a home page for Radio Free America . Once we have more feeds, the home page will be a timeline of news that can be acessed outside of Bluesky . Please subscribe now, and help spread the word. Via the dynamic OPML file that's publicly available there can be many such pages on the open web. # More ChatGPT fun # Yesterday I uploaded an image of a pizza pie, in a New York pizzeria, with a couple dressed in evening clothes with a NYC cop and off-duty sanitation worker lurki...
