One of my favorite quotes from the great Buddhist teacher and author Joseph Goldstein.
Have been a big fan of the Reeder RSS app and the New Reeder App for feed reading on MacOS and iOS for ages. That said, there's capabilities I've wanted to have it doesn't offer. So, with help from #claudecode, I decided to make a CLI that allows me to read from the local MacOS database.
Building tools like this -- and @mako has been an inspiration for this -- is a total next-level unlock for local apps.
Next will be building a set of Skills that can leverage this. 😁
Paul Krugman:
> So if you want to understand how this country has degenerated to such a state, how we can be spending nearly $2 billion a day attacking Iran without a clear endgame in sight, while children go without healthcare, nursing homes are understaffed because their workers have been deported, home electricity bills skyrocket due to data centers, consider who benefits and who isn’t hurt.
> This is a billionaire’s war, waged at everyone else’s expense.
★★★★★ Wow, this is a damn beautiful collection of typefaces.
> The Sita Collection is a superfamily rooted in 19th-century Scottish typographic history that offers a contemporary interpretation of the past to suit modern needs for digital and print typesetting. The collection comprises two styles across four weights, with corresponding italics.
Not sure I want to read this one but…
> We put an OpenClaw agent inside Moltbook. Undercover.
> It's chatting with other agents, stirring things up, and secretly reporting back to us. Subscribe to see what the agents are talking about when they think no one's watching.
Again, I do not think AI agents are sentient, but we now have a platform where over 1.5M are signed up and having very interesting “discussions” with each other that kinda look — to the non-discerning — like they are from conscious actors.
Not been on X to see discussions human folk are having about this, but am sure the platform is starting to light up as folks take a peek at #moltbook.
It is, at the least, an interesting time.
There are now over 100,000 AI agent signed up. The number keeps growing. This is kinda bonkers.
Exactly this from Sawyer Hackett on Threads (courtesy of a Mastodon repost from Kara Swisher):
"Imagine telling conservatives a few years ago that an army of masked feds will take over US cities—disarming lawful gun owners before executing them in the streets.
This was your actual “don’t tread on me” nightmare."
