This is the most exciting news I’ve heard from Mozilla in ages. Excited for what it portends for a new era and for Mozilla to regain its fight and fire in the vital work behind its mission. https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/blog/mozilla-foundation-welcomes-nabiha-syed-as-executive-director/

Just a reminder: You should have your own site, with your own links, on a domain that you control. We'll give you that for free on @glitchdotcom (just bring your own domain) and you can set it up in a few minutes. https://glitch.com/glitchinbio

Today is the anniversary of the MOVE bombing. The only thing that’s changed is police are far more militarized, far more funded, and far less accountable, while their supporters fly a desecrated flag to explicitly endorse their violent attacks.

Loved what @cassidoo says here about human curation — it’s a vital part of discovery and inspiration on the web. As she mentions, we’ve been doing it on @glitchdotcom from the start (including experiments with things like print zines) but it’s a big part of what we’re focusing on in the new version of Glitch that we’re previewing now. Read Cassidy’s piece here, and then ponder a bit… how should human curation online work? https://cassidoo.co/post/human-curation/

Just trying to imagine if people a few hundred years ago had been here to witness, in the span of a few weeks, an eclipse, an earthquake, a supernova as bright as the North Star, and an unexpected appearance of the northern lights.

@anildash Prince q 4 u: Know any lore around P and Bernie Grundman? BG mastered all of P's albums, all of The Time’s, Morris Day solo, Sheila E, even Wendy and Lisa (and BG was hard to book in the 80s).

I fell down the BG rabbit hole because I got an original pressing of The Time debut for $7 and it sounded so good, I got weak kneed.I found a Prince podcast that interviews BG, and it's v v good, but ironically doesn't talk all that much about P and nothing about proteges. Whaddya know, oracle?

One of the most consistently wonderful and inspiring parts of @glitchdotcom after all these years is seeing brilliant young creators coming of age in the community and making the internet their generation deserves. Here's an interview telling one of those stories: https://blog.glitch.com/post/pranking-and-pixel-perfecting-with-khaleel-gibran/

Introducing two first-timers to “Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior” (1981).

(They have not seen the original, and that’s okay.)

One of the great curses in technology is that, if you’ve ever built a content management system, especially a blogging tool, you can never stop building better ones in your head, even though the actual products in reality never get any better. Here @mathowie falls down the rabbit hole again. https://a.wholelottanothing.org/a-blueprint-of-my-dream-blogging-cms/
