It would really be nice if git history could have some sort of provenance attribute that tells you (line by line) if the code was generated by AI or has been touched/written/modified by a human.

Apologizing in advance (um, and in retrospect) for my enthusiasm about the following:

- Sentimental Value (new Joachim Trier movie, saw it early)
- Articles of Interest, Gear and Ivy seasons
- Doppelganger by Naomi Wolff I mean Naomi Klein ;)

God I'm so nostalgic for the old internet. Do you remember -- recommending people to follow because they were so interesting? Posting things you read because, they were (also) interesting? Asking legit questions because you wanted to learn from real humans who knew things about the subject? 😭

Guys what am I going to watch to feel good when Zohran doesn't have to make campaign videos anymore?

The Baileys: Well, we don't technically live in the city, but we're actually really impressed by Zohran -- we love how he connects with everyday people and has new ideas and new energy for improving things, and would have voted for him if we could have!
Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?

Schumer: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC."

Man it's been way too long since I've scrolled down and just liked 30 posts in a row.

Congrats to the best city in the country and to America too frankly.

Real q: are there still scenes in the world where everyone and their mother (in a certain age group/neighborhood) is "trying to be an artist"?

Could be totally wrong (it's been a while) but even Berlin seems to not be quite that anymore?

You know what is a delight? Encountering someone who cares deeply about the craft of their work in a realm that you know nothing about. Game recognize game I guess :)

(Also if anyone needs a rec for a integrative bodywork/massage person in Boston, I've got one.)

Curious: When I recently reentered the US and went through immigration, for the first time ever, I went up to the counter and the entirety of the exchange was, verbatim, "Look at the camera...Welcome back Stephanie." (No passport handed over)

Is this a uniform change across all airports?
New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo

“I’m an American citizen so leave me alone”

“Alright, we just got to verify that”

ICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoples’ Faces on the Street To Verify Citizenship
Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”

Interviewee: "The other is a much deeper question -- it's a historical question"

Avery Trufelman (host): "hell yeah, here we go!"

Exactly why I love this podcast. Psyched for the new season on American outdoors clothes.

Incredibly hard for me to remember what it was like to not be able to instantly get a 95% of the way there translation of something on your phone.

That was not that long ago.

Doing my first appliance repair (gas oven) in the age of LLMs and it is so pleasurable to have a real human being help you with your problems.

UI Library/Design Engineer people:
What is your source of truth for "correct" screen reader behavior with a MULTI-select combobox? (there is no W3C multi-select example)

I look at ariakit.org and material.angular.dev/components/ (for, reasons), but that's 2 sources :)

If you are a dev + a Chrome user, have you enabled side-by-side view yet? It is SO GOOD. (chrome://flags)

It is split-screen but in one browser tab so you can maximize your browser + not do the thing where for 5 seconds you have perfectly split screen windows + then have to move one and ruin it.

1. Cool work here from @jwolondon.bsky.social !

2. If I could parallelize my life (lol), I would love to do some research on the aesthetics of imprecision in the current moment. (Or, in reality, would love to read some n+1 etc essay about this as a topic)
Do you want a bit more sketchiness in your #datavis?

Here's my @observablehq.com Plot plugin that turns an Plot specification into a sketchy version with minimal extra work:

On the bright (eh, maybe that's not quite the right word) side:

Thinking it's 8pm because it's dark and realizing that it's actually only 6 isn't the worst thing in the world.
