Watched: The American Revolution (Ken Burns) (acutally watching). Really good so far. Putting so many things in context: I knew about Ticonderoga, the Boston Tea Party, The Townshend acts, and had vistied Philly, Boston, Lexington recently, this puts it all together.
The #podcast circuit seems to have heavy representation of of the “I just wrote a book on …” crowd. What happens once #ai is writing most of our books?
Is there a search engine that only returns sites that allow connections from #tor or #vpn connections?
I’m increasingly seeing VPNs blocked. I’d like to deal only with organizations that respect privacy.
Thanks to all who contributed to this months #emacs carnival: curious.port111.com/2025/11/0…
It was a privilege to host and to apparently inspire people to share their “People of emacs”. I think my hunch was right: emacs is very social.
Great #emacs carnival post meanwhiling.com/a-person-…
Acdw rams screwdrivers with such joyful fervour that it infects everybody…With the right person to teach and encourage you, you come to realise the fundamental nature of emacs: emacs is just one enormous screw.
For my second entry in this month’s #emacs Carnival ("The people of Emacs") I’ve updated the acknowledgements section of my emacs config and posted it on #orgsocial. Turns out over 40+ years I’ve borrowed good ideas liberally form people form Donald Knuth to Sacha Chua. Thanks.
There is a new Emacs Carnival blog entry from EMacAdie
Who knew you could join the Austin Emacs Meetup EmacsATX remotely? I guess Texas is big enough for all of us :-)

For the first time in years I purched a warrenty for a product on Amazon (a new DOCSIS/WiFi router I want to keep working) … 40 minutes later I get spam telling me “my home warrenty has expired” … coincidence, I think not.
Time to start using #fastmail masked email addresses.
I think #denote is going to change the way I work after ~40 years of thinking in terms of directories and folders.
I’ve got a draft post that looks fine in preview but is completly messed up when published. @manton ? Have a look micro.blog/account/p…
I think there are two eternal truths: Amiga fanaticism and a small cadre of GNUs users will never perish from the earth.
We’re doing it wrong. On birthdays we should honor mothers.
I had not tried shell inside #emacs for a while. File name completion works now. Time for another look.
You should always second guess yourself if you have to do something outside emacs.
All’s quiet on the western front.
