If someone is thinking, "I want to discuss sports. Let me open a sports app," I don't want them to go to the white supremacist app and have their brains boiled by the algorithm. The only power I personally have is to not be on that app, providing them content for free.

Welp. Cheaters always prosper is the perfect lesson of the modern age.

Next Tuesday? 6 am? Might be frost. Drag. Totes draggy. Just 144 hours to make sure I put in 97 minutes worth of effort to cover the tomato patches. Max. Will I make it? These are the concerns of the day. Welcome to October. Here’s the news…

Exciting times. It was 7C at 8:30 am this morning. I didn’t vote for this. Did you? Plus we have a reconfigured front step to keep the damp out and now wonder where to put the flower pots. Tingling does not capture the mood. Still, it’s Thursday so here’s the news…

Bad news from the SF Bay Area - after celebrating its 40th birthday this past spring, Triple Rock in Berkeley will close its doors by the end of the year.

Pundits have said the 18 isn’t that big of an upgrade over the 17 or 16. For me it has been - lots of QoL things made it worth it to me. Also, AirPods 5 are impressive.

Dear Ontario brewers and/or grocers, PLEASE REPEAT THIS! A fridge filled with non-alcoholic beer in an IGA in Mount Royal, Québec is more than enough of a tourist attraction for me. #Beer #NonAlcoholicBeer

GOOD MORNING! Here's our regular round-up of good writing about beer and pubs, this time with a couple of themes around (a) Oktoberfest and (b) making space for beer and pubs in communities. boakandbailey.com/2026/09/news...

I've spent the past few months researching and writing (what I think is) the biggest pub guide ever published by a national newspaper (50,000 words!) - and today its been published! www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/best-...

This one will hurt: I love 1Password as a product. But I'm the son of a concentration camp survivor. I will not give money to companies that align themselves with nationalism, and certainly not ethnic cleansing. Completely disappointing, @1password.bsky.social. www.flyingpenguin.com/dhh-nazism-f...

This would be a really good time for someone to put out a video about how to migrate from @1password.bsky.social to Apple Passwords or @bitwarden.bsky.social
