A great story about software, lovingly and thoughtfully told. Yet somehow my first & strongest gut reaction was: GO BIRDS. (Read the first paragraph, you'll see.)
Been working on this one for a while — it's a little bit of history of a key foundation of internet technology, and a little bit of an explainer about how people _actually_ invent things. This is the amazing (true!) story of how Markdown took over the world. www.anildash.com/2026/01/09/h...

in the summer of 2020 I wrote a song called "Murderers and Mourners" and it feels relevant now again and you can listen to it here if you want:

Love this 2026 energy LFGOOOOOOOOO!
GOOD MORNING FROM THE TRAIN!! 2026 is incredibly young yet and full of possibility! What are you going to DO!! I’m joining the board of my local park this year and I’m going to learn to sew a dress! I’m going to learn Spanish and see if I can do a back bend! The magic is in the Going To Stuff! LFG!

I'm 9 pages into @benchansfield.bsky.social's Born Into Flames and already mesmerized by the storytelling. Who knew a book about property insurance could be so captivating!

PS All hail @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social, which brought this gem to my hands.

Great post highlighting how modern OSS licensing misses the mark on the time-tested principles of Elinor Ostrom's Governing the Commons — to our peril.
Anti-fascistic software is made possible by pro-labor licensing.

I've been trying to write this piece for years. Every time I get started I'm just overwhelmed with paralyzing visions of the FOSS commentariat accusing me of WrongThink.

But I'm tired and we urgently need to get our shit together.

Last month I was at an event with @nikilsaval.bsky.social, a PA state senator on the front lines of building progressive power. This was right after Nov's election successes — but also right after a big budget defeat where PA refused to fund transit and withdrew from a regional climate initiative.

It's funny how the actual work of "save the salamanders" or "save the whales" boils down to a buncha landscape architects and civil engineers staring at a spreadsheet going "is $27,200 the correct amount for wetlands restoration, seems low"?

The governors-elect of NJ and VA (Mikie Sherrill and Abigail Spanberger) were roommates in DC six years ago?! This needs to be a movie.
