As a #typography nerd, I think I am going to have to try this out… 😃

Imagine a newspaper publisher refusing to let libraries keep copies of its paper. That’s effectively what’s starting online, as big publishers block the Internet Archive from preserving news sites. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/03/blocking-internet-archive-wont-stop-ai-it-will-erase-webs-historical-record
Blocking the Internet Archive Won’t Stop AI, But It Will Erase the Web’s Historical Record

Imagine a newspaper publisher announcing it will no longer allow libraries to keep copies of its paper. That’s effectively what’s begun happening online in the last few months. The Internet Archive—the world’s largest digital library—has preserved newspapers since it went online in the mid-1990s....

@woody I agree, Bill. It’s good to have many different projects exploring what could work in the future. It will be interesting to see where this all goes!

“Companies like SpaceX have stated repeatedly that their method is to “move fast and break things.” They are now close to breaking the atmosphere, the night sky and anything on the ground or in space that their satellites and rockets fall on or crash into.

Earth’s orbital space is a finite resource. There is an evolving set of international guidelines for operating in outer space, grounded in a set of high-level international rules. Yet, those rules and guidelines are inadequate.

One corporation based in one country should not be allowed to ruin orbit, the night sky, and the atmosphere for everyone else in the world.”

In light of the blackouts in Cuba, US threats to stop power in Iran, Israeli strikes on Lebanon, and Russian strikes on Ukraine’s power grid, I will remind everyone that trying manually ventilate patients who can’t breathe for themselves is exhausting, technically challenging, and often fatally inadequate. It is very hard to sit there manually delivering 6 cc/kg of air with the right pressure, inspiratory time, and expiratory time, over and over again, for hours.

There's a lot going on, but today is World Water Day #worldwaterday.
If you have safe drinking #water and decent sanitation, please understand how fortunate you are, and give a thought to the billions of people who don't.
Solutions to our water problems are possible.

@Jeffro I agree that a tutorial would be useful. Meanwhile I found this post helpful:

And also this list of example prompts:

Following the instructions at the end of the post, I connected my WordPress . Com (paid) account to Claude, and then tried several of these prompts.

One of the things I had it do was duplicate my last newsletter post and replace the main segment with some draft points.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.
