Remembering my friend Om, as he’s gone. There are many things to say, and so much good work to observe. But the first thing I thought of, on hearing that he’d passed, was that he had chosen to speak up, more than once, to protect the most vulnerable in our communities. … om.co/2026/06/24/1...

Heartbreaking to hear that Om Malik has passed away. I can hardly believe it. Even just this year, it felt like he was doing some of his best writing. Very thankful for the time he gave us at Micro Camp 2023… I was so excited to talk to him. Rest in peace.

Requiring the parent of a SNAP recipient to provide a written statement clarifying that a birthday money transfer was not recurring support is so dystopian.

Katie Bergh@katiebergh.bsky.social · 3mo ago

More & more eligible low-income people are losing SNAP because of H.R. 1’s bureaucratic hurdles, including this mom who has tried for months to get her family’s benefits back while working & caring for 2 young kids. Keep in mind: SNAP benefits average about $6 per person per day.

Ted Turner used to go off his Lithium and go on benders and then call my dad at 2:00 in the morning to rant about various things. (My grandfather was friendly with Ted’s dad before he killed himself) and that remains one of my favorite pieces of dad lore.

Schooley@schooley.bsky.social · 3mo ago

I worked on the Captain Planet cartoon early in my career and I remember it stemmed from Turner wanting to do something environmentally conscious for kids. I also remember him visiting the studio and hitting on the receptionist. He contained multitudes.

Trump, in his post about Ted Turner's death, claims that "woke" was "everything that he is not all about." Yes, the same Ted Turner who was married to Jane Fonda, wanted universal healthcare, was a staunch environmentalist, called pro-lifers "bozos," and accused Israel of terror against Palestine.

I think it is probably essential to renormalize the ability and willingness to distinguish between explaining something and endorsing it.

I re-made Glider some years back for MacOS/iOS. It broke at some point (perhaps an Apple change for Retina displays?) so I pulled it from the App Store. (Claude looked at the code—found some minor coordinate issues. Thanks!) Glider Classic for MacOS is back on. apps.apple.com/us/app/glide...

“The Pitt” is a good show. I watch. I enjoy. Then I move on. So it’s been fascinating to see that a certain segment of viewers have a very different relationship with the show. This would be the “fandom,” who have, ummm, strong opinions ... but also a difficulty in following basic tropes!

FYI: I am going to stop summarizing Supreme Court decisions on here as they come down. One comment has been plucked out of context of all my reporting, misread, and used as the basis of a mean-spirited pile-on. I am not going to subject myself to this. If this was your goal, then congratulations.
