Stairs and what I believe used to be a fountain covered in moss.

NEW PODCAST: “The 9pm S-Bend of Technology with David Gerard” (57m17s) @davidgerard https://the9pmedict.com/edict/00263/

Look for “The 9pm Edict” in your podcast app.

Like it? Please tell your friends and maybe support it with money at https://the90pmedict.com/relocate. (Yes, a new crowdfunder.)

A balding clean-shaven white man in spectacles, probably Gen X, looking disdainfully at the camera. It’s David Gerard!

#NoKings, #MeidasTouch, #TheLincolnProject—these are corporate-approved think-tanks just trying to keep neoliberalism alive until the next election.

They convinced us that Branded Activism™ has billionaires shaking in their boots.

They've distilled all our problems down to a Trumpian sludge to better grease the wheels of reactionary politics. They warn us that #AbolishICE is political poison and they champion reforms that end up rotting in the Senate.

Rust 1.93.1 has been released.

This point release fixes three regressions that slipped into in Rust 1.93.0: an internal compiler error affecting rustfmt, a false positive in a clippy lint, and an issue with the wasm32-wasip2 target.

See the blog post for details: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/02/12/Rust-1.93.1/

During Black history month, I do what every good liberal(tm) does and read the words of Black leaders.

After reading, then re-reading, Letter From a Birmingham Jail, it occurred to me, like bricks, that the left lacks a mainstream political movement.

Instead, we have Branded Activism that doesn't seem to meet the moment.

This comment from Espruino on Web Bluetooth is 😘

Web Bluetooth has been avail. on billions of devices, for several years, and I can't seem to find any instances of abuse. In the mean time I've lost count of the times hardware I've purchased has required me to install a dubious app to make it work.

Folks in the US:

There are 340 million of us.

Which means there are more than enough people to take up the slack when you focus on one or two areas of outage in order to be effective, rather than to try to focus on all of them and get exhausted (which is what they want you to do).

Trust in the rest of us, and don't let them grind you down.

Okay, I have a final-ish draft for my No Kings post. I'll post it at 3pm. (I'm giving myself a hard deadline)

I tried to keep my eyes on the organization itself, and not so much anyone participating in the marches because I don't want anyone to dig their heels into the sand. I want people to realize that branded activism doesn't have to define us. That we can change our minds.

But I also didn't want to mince words. Not that that's ever been a problem for me lol

Anyway, see you at 3PM EST

Ohhhhhh snap!

The signal is hot but the podcaster is not. Cyberpunk Librarian is back with episode 70 and Tales from the Dark Side. We’re gonna dive into the past and give you a talk that was the genesis of my Defcon 32 presentation. Let's talk about shadow libraries, shadow librarianship, and what the traditional library might learn from the underground.

Politicians are running away from X over the past year and we've posted some of the media coverage on our account. Our latest news post links to some high profile X exits, discusses the obvious reasons why it's happening, and wonders if elected officials and governments are running towards the right solution. We have to keep pushing the facts in front of this audience and steer them to the right path.

"at a town hall meeting. Weiss told producers and staff they were free to leave if they didn’t like it.

Since then, at least six out of CBS Evening News’s twenty producers have accepted buyouts.

At that town hall meeting Weiss also named a bunch of new contributors — including the anti-aging influencer Peter Attia. In the latest tranche of Epstein Files, Attia appears over 1,700 times, including an email in which he tells Epstein that “p—y is, indeed, low carb.”

In a missive to the newsroom, Weiss declared that “We love America” should be a guiding principle for the relaunch of the CBS Evening News."
