Last night I received an email from one of the large supermarkets. It was a product recall. I've never had such an email before, but it was quite clear that I had bought the product. I wondered how they knew, but quickly realised they...
Here is what happened. Over a few hours, a conversation with an AI model produced a biologically grounded framework connecting protein metabolism, mitochondrial function, connective tissue loading, circadian biology, gut-brain signaling,...

Rogallo v0.2.0 is now available. This version fixes some issues with links, makes gemtext parsing better conform with the specification, and also makes it easier to see where a link will take you. The first issue is a fix to how...
John Gruber writes about those annoying popups every website seems to have now and while he does a great job tearing into these ubiquitous, user-hostile patterns, one of the things that stood out to me about his piece was this meta...

My phone will ring some time in the next hour. It will be my Dad. He will be having a problem with his television. He will probably be pretty cross about it. He won't ask me to fix the problem. He will just blurt out "It's not doing...
I was sitting after coffee mumbling incoherently to my iPhone. It seemed to want to do something a certain way but I realized I wanted it to not do things that way. Getting in some kind of tech disagreement over how a photo is shared...
The name of this post comes from a swap I made with Zachary Kai, a thoughtful writer and blogger who kindly explained how his Title Traders directory works and agreed to help me try it out. (This is such a great idea, and it originated...
Blowing bubbles: This is an S-tier coping skill honestly. My hands are occupied. Breathing in and out has a purpose. I watch the bubbles float away and pop! Going "Louis Theroux mode": Louis' awkwardness, curiosity, and dry wit is his...
My first memories of World Cup football are Mexico ’86. After Jock Stein died at the end of the qualifying match against Wales the previous year, some bloke called Alex Ferguson took over as manager. Not sure what happened to him after...
June 24, 2026 Earlier this month, I wrote a post titled "Someone convince me to use Chrome". Since then, I've been using Chrome as my primary browser. As a result, I've become more mindful of my site's browser analytics. Looking at my...
June 2026. Gyumri. Armenia. Well, over the border in Armenia, actually, but we need to recognise the genius of Tony Joe White at every opportunity. Mrs RM had really wanted to take that midnight train to Georgia from Yerevan, but on...
I have linked to videos from OTR a few times on my link blog but this one deserves a post on here. It’s a feature-length documentary about the “Golden Triangle” within Thailand, Laos and Myanmar, the history how it became the center of...
In this piece on why he blogs, Noah Smith says that blogging has allowed me to inject ideas into the discourse with unparalleled speed, breadth, and access. A researcher goes deep into a few topics; a blogger can quickly hit the main...
From Toni Borowsky (in Australia) on Facebook on 6/24: Jesus PYJAMAS! Ffs I am seeing ads for Jesus pyjamas. (AuE / BrE spelling PYJAMAS, AmE PAJAMAS) In response: — AZ > TB: Links! Pix! We need stuff to see, Toni! But I add that,...
We're sharing a car while the other is in the shop. An unexpected benefit is that sometimes I'll drive Casey to work and experience the city in the morning.Currently Listening: Masakatsu Takagi “Marginalia #48”Reply via email
My quick and dirty solution to avoid spamming your feed with crap.
Gladiator II llegó rodeada de polémica y críticas. Está claro que Gladiator es una de las mejores películas dirigidas por Ridley Scott y su secuela tenía que estar a la altura. Como ya pasa en la primera parte nos encontramos una...
Es ist fast ein bisschen bedenklich, wie viel Spaß mir das hier macht. Ich habe – natürlich – noch mehr Gedanken zu diesem Projekt, und weil mir niemand verbieten kann, einfach noch mehr über das Wie und Warum des Ganzen nachzudenken,...
Ayer se completó la segunda fecha de la fase de grupos del mundial de fútbol que se está disputando en Canadá, Estados Unidos y México. Las 6 selecciones sudamericanas enfrentaron a 2 rivales de Europa, 2 de la Concacaf y 2 de África....
Seguramente necesitas esta cama para que tu esponja de lavado descanse plácidamente. ¡Cómpralo ahora! En Argentina las llamamos “bolucompras”, que sería “compras boludas”. Boludo es algo así como estúpido, aunque si lo buscas en la RAE...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Wild few days but I'm nothing if not determined to see this project through till at least Wind and Waves come out. Anyway, in today's post we don't have a lot of icons....
James Stark is back in town, and he's pissed. Eleven years ago, Stark’s magician ‘friends’ turned against him and sent him to Hell, where Stark spent all of that time battling demons in an arena. Oddly, each time he got torn apart or...
Is this for real?! It’s 16:09. I’m lying on the couch. There’s a fan trained on me, circulating at full tilt. The temperature is 26 °C (79 F) inside, 33 °C (92 F) outside, humidity is high. Come again?! I live in the fucking Netherlands....
How did we get here? I think it's safe to say that pretty much everyone who got his education in India knows what I'm talking about. In a vast majority of Indian educational institutes, there's a pathological focus on rote memorization....
Francisco Trujillo at The Conversation: We have developed what we call an ultrasonic espresso: a room-temperature brewing process that uses high-frequency sound waves to extract the flavour, oils, aroma and caffeine from coffee grounds....
On this day ten years ago – the day the result of the Brexit referendum was announced – I was walking in Surrey, where I took this picture. This is what politicians used to look like (take note, Andy...
Xavier de Maistre in an armchair, displaying his “book of discoveries” (Veyssier, 1860) Every so often I like to include a public domain image in a blog post. I’m fond of the woodblock and lithographic illustrations of the late 1800s. I...
Accendo l’auto, stamattina, distratto come al solito. Sul display da 85 pollici, modestia a parte, compare un messaggio a tutto schermo: anomalia. Suggerisce di cambiare la batteria. Clicco ok. Il messaggio sparisce. “La farò controllare...
The eight book of The Expanse by James S.A. Corey. Spoilers ahead. I’ve recently realized that I kind of spend too much time summarizing things without spoilers, but I’ll just share the summary from the website and then share my thoughts...
And it doesn’t mince words. In this case, the task was assigned to EJ Spode, “who assembled the following crack team of elite scholars to work as a totally independent group to address the issues raised in the charge: Somerset Maugham,...
IT and cybersecurity hiring has a gatekeeping problem.I do not mean that every requirement is unfair. Some jobs really do need someone who has touched the system before. If a company needs a senior identity engineer, a cloud security...
Previously. Problem statement: espanso edit corp opens a config file, but saving it doesn’t take immediate effect. At $DAILYJOB I keep a separate match file for work-specific snippets (“corp”). Espanso supports multiple match files under...
Returning to ECM’s formative years can feel like entering a chamber where the future has been stored in mineral form. The label’s early catalog still radiates that paradoxical condition of sounding both newly born and long remembered,...
