Here's my second post using Dave Winer's Wordland. Looks like the Wordland UI has gotten richer, bigger. (Doh, I know, that's the way software releases are supposed to work.)

There's now support for embedded images, like this one of dancers in Mexico.

It works pretty well, though the window called up to access my photo library wasn't good. That may just be the MacOS' generic Finder window, which tend to be less than useful.

This morning is proof that a poor night's sleep is at least as bad as a hangover, maybe worse. My eyes are blurry, energy low, brain barely working. No ambition other than try to feel better. At least with a hangover you get the "fun" of the night before, maybe some tasty wine with dinner. In this case it's just a long sleepless night followed by a miserable day. I'll certainly try to take a nap, but…damn, sleeplessness sucks.

I spent some time yesterday imagining what the news would look like if it had been the Biden administration caught using a commercial text messaging app to plan a military operation AND accidentally copying a journalist on the group chat. Pretty sure it would have been different, and louder. MAGA world is nothing if not hypocritical. I fuck up, it's horrific and I should be fired/punished/made an example. You fuck up and it's "Meh, people make mistakes. No biggie." Part of the problem is that conservatives control the US social media narrative, whether it's amplification of a message (BUT HER EMAILS) or minimization of a message (the current case). One way or another, the non-MAGA world has to fix this problem of asymmetric signal to noise.

This is really fascinating. Newton was one smart dude.
