In which my brain hits itself in the face
There is an interesting discussion going on in the OSMF run discourse instance on community.osm.org regarding regulation of use of LLMs in communcation there. First a bit of background The OSMF in 2021 introduced a new behavior control framework for the forum and some mailing lists – which i criticized for its...

Like many others1, MEEK’s Fabulous has been stuck on-loop in my head for most of this year. What a fucking banger of a track, amirite? And yet… somehow, today was the first time I figured I’d watch the music video. If you’ve not seen it (or perhaps not even heard the song), go do that now; I’ll wait. The outdoor...
Thomas Frank writes about politically noxious nostalgia for Harpers. It’s connects the bicentennial in 1976 with our current impoverished political moment. I think it strikes a chord. Donald Trump didn’t invent the eternal return of nostalgia any more than Ronald Reagan invented the retro style of the Seventies and...
While Alex and I usually top our vanilla ice cream with a simple drizzle of olive oil and flaky sea salt, we might have to start rotating with Eric Kim’s No-Churn Ice Cream with Dalgona Butterscotch Sauce from Korean American! The ice cream base is essentially sweetened frozen whipped cream: heavy cream, sugar,...
In early 2026, Charles F. Millhouse, creator of New Pulp character Captain Stephen Hawklin, came out with a new collection of short stories set in the 1930s: The Classic Adventures of Captain Hawklin, one for each year from 1930 to 1939. This is a prelude to his upcoming novel, Stormgate, that will cross over...

Here’s a map showing our route home, heading north: An interactive...
A while back, when I was talking about my witch Elowen Hale, I said that the Daggerheart playtest witch played a big role in who she is and what her character was like. I also said then, "When the new Dread add-on for Daggerheart is out, I'll come back to this and detail a bunch of witches." Well. It is out now. And...
Slip beneath the surface of a Late Cretaceous ocean—if you dare—and you enter the domain of one of Earth’s most spectacular marine predators: the mosasaur. Long before whales ruled the deep, these muscular, paddle-limbed lizards patrolled warm inland seas with the quiet confidence of creatures that knew very little...
Continuing the series on the notable changes in CIDER 2.0, let’s talk about ClojureScript - forever the trickier sibling in the CIDER family. I’ll start with a confession I’ve made before: I rarely use ClojureScript myself, which is a big part of why its support in CIDER has historically lagged behind Clojure’s....
