If Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor — and is true to his vision for a fair, livable city — he will have to take on this long-ignored corridor. Here's how.

Today we had a performance of "HAKOTO" at GalGael. Hakoto a body worn digital musical instrument that reads environmental data from a tree leaf, uses it to calculate transpiration and photosynthesis rates and then presents the data in the form of procedurally generated music.

@gruber.foo I’m probably a few years late to this, but I think there is a @daringfireball.bsky.social sighting in HBO’s Scenes from a Marriage remake. In episode 2 at 3:49, Oscar Issac’s character has the DaringFireball.net homepage on his browser’s start page. I’d notice that shade of grey anywhere

@siracusa.bsky.social you mentioned something about a “The Power Broker” podcast in the aftershow of the most recent episode of ATP (post-election); did you just mean the 66-hour audiobook or are you going to tell me about a new podcast I am going to devour?

@gruber.foo I still regularly find myself using Glyphboard - mrgan.com/gb/ - a web app you recommended back in 2009: daringfireball.net/linked/2009/...
It’s bizarre that it is still a necessary tool, especially since it hasn’t changed in 15 years!
