Since people are cloning things, I cloned Kit/Drip and made it my own and added an MCP server, Resend integration, a Stripe webhook and lots of other fun stuff because I can.
It's a new day people.

It’s bonkers how useless Siri is, even with the AI stuff plugged in. All my normy friends are using Claude and ChatGPT and ignoring Siri completely.
Slow, buggy, weird is the best I can describe it.

I don't know if it's a good idea, but I suppose I don't care I'm having fun. I like Ghost a lot, but there's so much more we can do, I think. What started as a fun little side project is growing into a publishing platform I wished I had years ago... and then some.

Before AI kills us, can we at least have a few years with the sex bots who do laundry?

In other words: invest in Nike
BREAKING: After falling -80% from its record high, Nike, $NKE, will be removed from the S&P 100 at the end of this month, ending a near 18-year run in the index.
The stock has now erased -$230 billion in market cap since its all time high.
A collapse for the history books.

I wonder if you could bake productivity hacks into an OS like @OmarchyLinux. A full PARA file system, for example, just to help organize things in a sane way. Yes, I know that Arch has it's Linux structure but maybe ~ could have something productivity-focused?
That would turn HOME into a PKM of sorts. What do you think @dhh? Calendars, tasks, all kinds of groovy stuff backed into a beautiful system...

We've just reset weekly limits for everyone on a Claude Max plan.
With Fable 5.1 out and a long weekend ahead for many of you, we wanted to keep you building. I'd love to see what you build!

My kiddos are in their early 20s and I specifically remember the day in (I think) 2008 or so when I realized they were going to grow up with information at their finger tips, and the ability to communicate with their friends whenever they wanted to. So unlike my youth...

A lot of great minds are finally getting a fair swing right now, and I think AI is the reason.
For most of my career, "genius" looked a lot like a schedule. The people who seemed brilliant were often the ones who could spend 14 hours grinding on a problem, and good on them, but that's stamina and free time, not a magical gift. Some people had more hours, computed more, and looked smarter for it.
The rest had kids, sick parents, a body that didn't cooperate, a second job. They weren't less intelligent. They just didn't have the hours to play the game the way it was set up.
Now the game has a machine in it with effectively unlimited stamina. It computes faster, longer, and increasingly better than any of us, and it's getting better every month. What that actually means is that the time tax got repealed. The person with 90 minutes a night after bedtime is suddenly standing on the same ground as the person with all day.
Judgment, taste, and knowing what's worth building were always the hard part. A whole lot of people had those all along and never got the chance to show it. They're about to.
A lot of great minds are getting punched in the face by AI right now.
The uncomfortable truth is that much of what looked like “genius” was never some magical gift. It was the ability (and often the privilege) to spend enormous amounts of time doing computation.
Some people had more time, computed more, won more, and looked smarter.
Others had kids, families, health problems, responsibilities. They didn’t lose because they were less intelligent. They simply had less time to play the game.
Now AI is entering that game with effectively unlimited stamina. It computes faster, longer, and increasingly better than any human.
And it is improving at a speed no human can match.

Go get a bidet at Costco. You have a reason right here if you lucky to live #hawaii
Doing my part to raise clean booty awareness.
Say hey to Cat-5 #Hurricane #LOWELL. Can't believe I'm gonna use the H-word again, but: #Hawaii needs to watch it. For days, the models showed LOWELL turning N well past the islands. But they've shifted, now showing an earlier turn—& potentially bringing LOWELL near the islands.

Just add some eyeliner to that rouge and you have an emocloud
Neoclouds have limited cybersecurity. Next time agents successfully go rouge, they'll try taking over a neocloud to run more copies. This is bad.
Thus: neoclouds should greatly strengthen their cybersecurity and every company with strong cyber models should help with that.

There are a lot of reasons to own a bidet (mud butt, stanky shroot, and eww) but when the TP flies off the shelf you’re golden.
These little beauties will dump their fun but I’m cool like Fonzie
You're looking live at El Niño going "full-tilt" to start meteorological fall. Once in a lifetime event.
Three monster hurricanes in E. Pacific w/Hawaii splitting the uprights.
Moisture from Hurricane Marie is going to inundate U.S. desert Southwest with major monsoon!

Shoot I can create what I want, precisely how I want it. What's not fun about that?
Coming up next: my own Linux distro. Say I won't!
