a friend was trying to get me to go to Seattle later this month and sadly I’ve got plans (another show that I don’t want to skip) that night.

But I believe it! I bet that show in June will be great. Not that I wouldn’t want to visit in Sweden :)

Impeachment now.

literally discovered sunn was playing here the other night and couldn’t go 😭

Just learned that I won the #wwdc lottery! Being a developer is weird these days for everyone and I’m really looking forward to connecting with other iOS folks in person in Cupertino. Of you’re going, let me know

It should not be controversial that there is no place in any country for masked thug or those who use government not for the people but to enrich themselves

SF's night markets are really great. Tonight's in the Castro is a raucous street party, perfect for the hot weather. Picked up some turkish delight from a local shop while I was nearby

what a good dog

my favorite as well!

the mayor has been focusing entirely on positive comms while quietly gutting programs and proposing ballot measures to consolidate more power. But this story about his security assaulting a guy on the street seems to have broken through

Justice Department and Live Nation Reach Settlement Terms in Antitrust Case The agreement, which requires a judicial sign-off, would avoid a breakup of the concert giant. But states who joined the suit object to the terms.

Breaking News: The Justice Dept. tentatively settled an antitrust lawsuit with Live Nation, Ticketmaster’s owner. The agreement still requires a judge’s approval and it would avoid a breakup of the concert giant.

NOTICE AND TAKEDOWN Every day, thousands of removal requests flow into the Lumen Database — the public archive where the internet's most powerful actors are forced to show their work. Most requests are routine. Some are weapons. When copyright attorney Marcus Vega files a takedown notice targeting Clearwire, a scrappy digital rights nonprofit, he expects the usual: compliance, a form letter, maybe a sternly worded reply. What he gets instead is Eli Marsh - Clearwire's counternotice specialist, former EFF researcher, and the most infuriating person Marcus has ever had the professional misfortune of opposing. Eli knows the law. He also knows Marcus - knows his firm's clients, his win rate, the pattern of industries he protects. What Eli can't account for is what happens when the two of them end up at the same internet governance conference in Geneva, arguing in bad faith over cocktails until they're not arguing at all.

The notices keep coming. So do the counternotices. So do the emails that start as legal correspondence and become something neither of them can quite name. Marcus has spent his career making inconvenient things disappear. Eli has spent his making sure they can't. Between them sits every question the internet has failed to answer about who gets to control what's public, what's private, and who decides. Some things, it turns out, can't be taken down. For readers of Heated Rivalry, Better Than People, and anyone who has ever found themselves deeply, inconveniently attracted to someone who sends documents with tracked changes turned on.

I asked Claude to generate a book jacket blurb for a novel inspired by Heated Rivalry and the Lumen database, and, umm…

I wonder what the rank and file at OpenAI think about this. Has anyone quit?

Best point in this piece: seniors are clearly harmed by internet scams, and yet we largely do nothing. Why not prioritize ending those?
