British Grand Prix thoughts - https://fulltimesportsfan.wordpress.com/2026/07/11/formula-1-2026-british-grand-prix/ More than a little Ferrari-centric #Formula1 #BritishGrandPrix

I just reached out to a bunch of journalists who already wrote about how awful Reflect Orbital is. I hope at least some of them will write more about it.

(Please DM me if you have suggestions for journalists I should reach out to who might be interested in writing about this to a large audience)

I find myself struggling a lot lately with the way American individualism / neoliberalism / the nuclear family model (& also the breakdown of it + rise of two income families) / the hollowing out of third spaces and community groups leads to life being just so overwhelming with so much STUFF individuals need to do.

I wonder if folks have recommendations for writers/thinkers who talk about this? I have a vague sense of the historical forces behind it but would love to learn in more detail.

Smart glasses with cameras and microphones built-in and facial recognition to come are the latest fad in surveillance tech.

For my blog & newsletter ~ this week in security ~ I wrote about why the backlash against smart glasses — aka "pervert glasses" — is justified from a security and privacy perspective. Please read and share!

I would like to commission a piece of art in the style of the votive candles but with me holding a laptop, with headphones on, and "our captain of unreasonable expectations." If you know a good artist for this, send them my way, please.

Does anyone here make #zines? I would like to buy them. They can be about whatever whatever whatever you like… please link in replies. Boost for reach because I don’t know what hashtags to use #bonkwave #creative #maker #poetry #art ?

The cover of Patti Smith’s Horses is a lesson in the power of the "anti-performance". Shot by Robert Mapplethorpe in 1975, it bypassed the industry’s obsession with "approachable" female artists in favor of something raw and present
. Fifty years later, it lives in museums as one of the great works of 20th-century photography. ⚡️

Every hobby starts with curiosity and ends with storage problems.

Does anyone in the Portland, Oregon area happen to need a few 14x24x1 furnace filters? Our new setup takes a different size and it seems a shame for them to go to waste.

The Moroccan geographer Mohamed Berriane just told me an amazing story:

About ten years ago, in Corsica, he talked to some Corsicans who had been hiking in the mountains in Morocco. On a high mountain slope, they encountered some bad weather and got lost. So they did what Corsicans do in that situation: they sang a specific song, which is known in Corsica as a call for help. And right away, some local Amazighs heard them and came to help them, because the Amazighs have the same song, which they use in the same way.

Mohamed thought this was fascinating and should be studied, but hasn't found anyone who's interested.
