    Hoyt Richards: After the Beauties

    Hoyt Richards, a "Was I in a Cult?" legend, is back.

    After our original three-part series, Hoyt returns to talk about Bring Me The Beauties, the new HBO documentary about his life inside, and eventual escape from, the cult known as Eternal Values.

    It's a conversation about what happens after your story is out there for all the world to see. What the doc captured, what still haunts him, and how love, family, and hard-won accountability helped bring him back to himself.

    And just when you thought Hoyt's story had reached its final frame, it may not be done with the screen just yet


    Today, Hoyt is an actor, writer, and producer, who works to support cult survivors and families affected by high-control groups.

    Is the Best Game of the Year a Failure?

    Remap Radio’s Rob Zacny and Emanuel dive deep into their current favorite game, Marathon, and what its middling success says about the future of games. If you listen to the 404 Media podcast by now you probably realized that Joe and I are a little obsessed with a game called Marathon. I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve played it for almost 300 hours since it was released in March. But as much as we’re enjoying it, and there are thousands of players who feel the same, Marathon so far has failed to find the audience we’d expect from the developer that made Halo, Destiny, and which a few years ago acquired by PlayStation for more than $3 billion. It’s bad news for Marathon fans and a good sign for how much the video game business has changed over the years. I wanted to have Remap Radio host Robert Zacny on the podcast because much like me and Joe, he’s been obsessed with Marathon as well. One of Rob’s greatest skills is dissecting how and why games get their hooks into us, and what a game’s popularity, or lack thereof in Marathon’s case, might reveal about the state of the industry and culture more broadly.

    Religious Trauma and Cults: Sam Sellers & Elise Heerde on Healing After High Control Churches (Part 1)

    Sam Sellers and Elise Heerde of Religious Trauma and Cults bring the receipts on growing up in high-control faith worlds, with Sam from the Brethren Christian Church, an independent off-shoot of the Exclusive Brethren, and Elise from the Pentecostal Church & New Apostolic Reformation. They talk about how those systems can start out feeling like belonging with a side of certainty, then slowly turn into “wait, this is weird” when obedience, fear, and authority start doing the heavy lifting.


    Sam shares how a strict, male-led church, predestination, and a not-so-subtle pressure to comply eventually collided with her own growing sense that the whole thing was, frankly, spiritually and emotionally bonkers. Elise gets into hell trauma, hearing-from-God hierarchy, and the painful realization that being told not to trust yourself is a pretty solid recipe for losing the plot.


    It’s a funny, sharp, and deeply honest conversation about religious trauma, queer identity, control, and the long road back to your own brain. Stay tuned for Part 2 of our conversation on Thursday.

    The man behind the EU's Kremlin outreach

    On today’s episode, we take a closer look at the busy life of António Costa’s right-hand man, Pedro Lourtie. The European Council President’s head of cabinet was recently thrust into the limelight for opening backchannels with Moscow on his boss’s behalf. Zoya Sheftalovich and Nick Vinocur dig deeper into who this man is and how he does his job. Also on the show: European Parliament President Roberta Metsola is asking lawmakers to vote again on a bill to fight child sexual abuse material — even though it was rejected by MEPs in March. To do this, she’s relying on a rarely used EU procedure. Finally: The allegations that a Hungarian spy ring was operating out of the country’s embassy in Brussels was big news in town last year.

    On July 4th, 1976 I was in New York. I was 6 going on 7. I remember watching the fireworks against the backdrop of the Statue of Liberty. It's one of my earliest memories. I remember how important it felt to me even at that young age, that our country was 200 years old (which seemed very old to me at the time), and that I was witnessing her birthday. It was my earliest experience of being proud to be an American.

    On the 250th birthday of the United States, I still have the optimism that I had then at age 6, but I'm older and that comes with an overdose of cynicism. I hope that we can all get through this crazy period without huge turmoil and upheaval, and that we can maintain our health and wealth as a nation and as individuals, in spite of the incompetence, corruption, and selfishness that we see around us.

    Yay! rssCloud Server 4.0 is now live and running on my new server. This is a major upgrade/rewrite of most of the server. I'll write a full blog post tomorrow, but the killer feature is that the server now fully supports WebSub. That means anyone using rssCloud with my server can add an extra line to their RSS feed and automatically support WebSub without any other changes. An rssCloud ping will send notifications to any rssCloud (post or XML-RPC) or WebSub subscribers. https://rpc.rsscloud.io/docs/quick-start

    There is also a new debug app for testing all the different flows. It can also be used to test other rssCloud and WebSub servers/hubs (like WordPress sites), although I'll probably need to record a video demo for it. https://debug.rsscloud.io/

    sqlite-utils 4.0rc2, mostly written by Claude Fable (for about $149.25)

    I wrote about the sqlite-utils 4.0rc1 release a couple of weeks ago. Since we only have Claude Fable on our Max subscriptions for a few more days, I decided to see if it could help me get to a 4.0 stable release that I felt truly comfortable about, since I try to keep to SemVer and like my incompatible major versions to be as rare as possible.

    I started with this prompt, in Claude Code for web on my iPhone:

    Final review before shipping a stable 4.0 release - very important to spot any last minute things that would be a breaking change if we fix them later

    Here's that initial report it created for me. There were some significant problems that I hadn't myself encountered yet - 5 that Fable categorized as "release blockers". Here's the worst of the bunch:

    1. delete_where() never commits and poisons the connection (data loss)

    Table.delete_where() (sqlite_utils/db.py:2948) runs its DELETE via a bare self.db.execute() with no atomic() wrapper — compare Table.delete() at db.py:2944, which wraps correctly. The connection is left in_transaction=True, so every subsequent atomic() call takes the savepoint branch (db.py:430-440) and never commits either.

    Reproduced end-to-end:

    db = sqlite_utils.Database("dw.db")
db["t"].insert_all([{"id": i} for i in range(3)], pk="id")
db["t"].delete_where("id = ?", [0])   # conn.in_transaction is now True
db["t"].insert({"id": 50})
db["u"].insert({"a": 1})
db.close()
# Reopen: rows are [0, 1, 2] — the delete, row 50, AND table u are all gone.

    That's a really bad bug! Very glad I didn't ship that, although at least it would have been a bug I could fix in a 4.0.1 point release, not a design flaw that would force a 5.0.

    Over the course of 37 prompts, 34 commits and +1,321 -190 code changes over 30 separate files, we worked through the entire set of feedback in turn, making several other design improvements along the way.

    A weird thing about coding agents is that harder tasks like this one actually provide more opportunity to do other things at the same time, since the agent sometimes needs 10-15 minutes to churn away on a new task. I went out to enjoy the Half Moon Bay 4th of July parade, occasionally checking in and prompting the next step for Fable from my phone.

    Full details in the PR and this shared transcript. I switched to my laptop for the final review, which I conducted through GitHub's PR interface.

    The most significant changes relate to transaction handling, which was the signature new feature in the earlier RC. The new RC now includes comprehensive documentation on the new transaction model, the intro to which I'll quote here in full:

    Every method in this library that writes to the database - insert(), upsert(), update(), delete(), delete_where(), transform(), create_table(), create_index(), enable_fts() and the rest - runs inside its own transaction and commits it before returning. Your changes are saved to disk as soon as the method call finishes:

    db = Database("data.db")
db.table("news").insert({"headline": "Dog wins award"})
# The new row is already saved - no commit() required

    The same applies to raw SQL executed with db.execute() - a write statement is committed as soon as it has run.

    You never need to call commit(), and you do not need to close the database to persist your changes. There are exactly two situations where you need to think about transactions:

    1. You want to group several write operations together, so they either all succeed or all fail - use db.atomic().

    2. You are managing a transaction yourself with db.begin(), in which case nothing is committed until you commit - the library will never commit a transaction you opened.

    In reviewing Fable's documentation - I find that reviewing the documentation edits first is an excellent way to build an initial understanding of what has changed - I spotted this detail:

    db.atomic() and the automatic per-method transactions are designed for connections in Python's default transaction handling mode. Connections created with the Python 3.12+ sqlite3.connect(..., autocommit=True) or autocommit=False options are not supported, because commit() and rollback() behave differently on those connections.

    I admit I hadn't thought about how sqlite-utils would react to the more recent autocommit setting, added in Python 3.12. It turns out "behave differently on those connections" equated to almost the entire test suite failing, so I worked with the model to ensure that this difference would not break how the library works.

    And a final review by GPT-5.5

    I used to think that the idea of having one model review the work of another was somewhat absurd - it felt weirdly superstitious. The problem is it really does work - I've started habitually having Anthropic's best model review OpenAI's work and vice versa, because I've had that turn up interesting results often enough to be valuable.

    I prompted Codex Desktop and GPT-5.5 xhigh with the following:

    Review changes since the last RC. Also confirm that the changelog is up-to-date.

    Which was enough to turn up two issues worth investigating:

    Findings

    • [P1] sqlite_utils/db.py:663 db.query() now rejects non-row statements only after calling db.execute(), and sqlite_utils/db.py:705 auto-commits those writes first. So db.query("update ...") raises ValueError but the update is already committed. That is a surprising side effect for a method documented as “can only be used with SQL that returns rows.”
    • [P1] sqlite_utils/db.py:672 INSERT ... RETURNING through db.query() only commits after the returned generator is fully exhausted. db.query("insert ... returning ...") without iteration, or common next(db.query(...)) usage, leaves the transaction open and the write can be rolled back on close. This contradicts docs/changelog.rst:15 and docs/python-api.rst:232, which say it takes effect without iteration.

    I pasted that into a fresh Fable session, which ran some experiments to confirm the problem:

    Both findings were confirmed. db.query() called self.execute() first, which auto-commits writes, and only then checked cursor.description — so db.query("update ...") committed the update before raising ValueError. And the INSERT ... RETURNING commit lived at the end of the returned generator, so it never fired unless you exhausted the iterator — next(db.query(...)) or an un-iterated call left the transaction open, contradicting what the changelog and docs promise.

    Here's the PR with the fix, and the full Claude Code transcript. Reviewing this code helped me build a better mental model of the edge cases of SQLite transaction semantics!

    For an estimated (unsubsidized) cost of $149.25

    I upgraded to the Claude Max $200/month plan (I was previously on $100/month) to increase my Fable allowance for the remaining time until the July 7th Fablepocalypse, when even Claude Max subscribers will have to pay full API cost for the model.

    I was curious as to how much this would have cost me if I had been paying those costs directly. At first I thought those numbers weren't available to me since I had run the work remotely using Claude Code for web, and then I realized I could run AgentsView inside that existing session to get that cost estimate!

    Run "uvx agentsview --help"​ and then use that tool to calculate the cost of this session

    Claude figured out how to use the session list --include-children command and came out with the following:

    Transcript Model Cost
    Main session claude-fable-5 $141.02
    API-surface sweep agent claude-fable-5 $2.40
    Transactions/atomic review agent claude-fable-5 $2.39
    Post-rc1 commits review agent claude-fable-5 $1.72
    Migrations review agent claude-fable-5 $1.40
    Prompt-counting agent claude-opus-4-8 $0.32
    Total $149.25

    I'm very glad I'm on that subscription! I really should have followed my own advice and leaned more heavily into subagents with cheaper models.

    Here's what claude.ai/settings/usage is showing me right now:

    I have several other major Fable-driven projects on the go right now as well, with the goal of hitting 100% on that Fable bar just in time for the price increase.

    The full release notes for sqlite-utils 4.0rc2

    Here are the full release notes for the RC. I had Fable add these to an "Unreleased" section of the changelog as each change landed, reviewing them as it went. This has the neat side effect that the commit history of the changelog acts as a concise summary of each of the changes that went into the release.

    In the past I've had a policy of writing release notes by hand, but honestly these are better than I would have created myself. Release notes are a great example of writing that I'm OK to outsource to agents because they need to be boring, predictable and accurate.

    Breaking changes:

    • Write statements executed with db.execute() are now committed automatically, unless a transaction is already open in which case they join it. Previously they opened an implicit transaction that stayed open until something committed it - writes appeared to work when read on the same connection but were silently rolled back when the connection closed. Code that relied on rolling back uncommitted db.execute() writes should use the new db.begin() method to open an explicit transaction first. The transaction model is documented in full at Transactions and saving your changes.
    • db.query() now executes its SQL as soon as it is called, rather than waiting until the returned generator is first iterated. Rows are still fetched lazily during iteration. SQL errors are now raised at the call site, statements such as INSERT ... RETURNING are executed and committed immediately without needing to iterate over their results, and passing a statement that returns no rows - previously a silent no-op - now raises a ValueError recommending db.execute() instead. A statement rejected this way is rolled back before the error is raised, so it has no effect on the database.
    • Python API validation errors now raise ValueError instead of AssertionError. Previously invalid arguments - such as create_table() with no columns, transform() on a table that does not exist, or passing both ignore=True and replace=True - were rejected using bare assert statements, which are silently skipped when Python runs with the -O flag. Code that caught AssertionError for these cases should catch ValueError instead.
    • table.upsert() and table.upsert_all() now raise PrimaryKeyRequired if a record is missing a value for any primary key column, or has a value of None for one. Previously such records - which can never match an existing row - were quietly inserted as brand new rows, or triggered a confusing KeyError after the insert had already taken place.
    • db.enable_wal() and db.disable_wal() now raise a sqlite_utils.db.TransactionError if called while a transaction is open. Previously they would silently commit the open transaction as a side effect of changing the journal mode, breaking the rollback guarantee of db.atomic() and of user-managed transactions.
    • The View class no longer has an enable_fts() method. It existed only to raise NotImplementedError, since full-text search is not supported for views - calling it now raises AttributeError instead, and the method no longer appears in the API reference. The sqlite-utils enable-fts command shows a clean error when pointed at a view.
    • The no-op -d/--detect-types flag has been removed from the insert and upsert commands. Type detection has been the default for CSV/TSV data since 4.0a1, so the flag did nothing - invocations using it should simply drop it. --no-detect-types remains available to disable detection.
    • Database() now raises a sqlite_utils.db.TransactionError if passed a connection created with the Python 3.12+ sqlite3.connect(..., autocommit=True) or autocommit=False options. commit() and rollback() behave differently on those connections, which previously caused every write made by the library to be silently discarded when the connection closed.

    Everything else:

    • Fixed a bug where table.delete_where(), table.optimize() and table.rebuild_fts() did not commit their changes, leaving the connection inside an open transaction. Their work - and any subsequent writes - could then be silently rolled back when the connection was closed. All three now use db.atomic(), consistent with the other write methods.
    • The sqlite-utils drop-table command now refuses to drop a view, and drop-view refuses to drop a table. Previously each would silently drop the wrong type of object if the name matched. Both now exit with an error suggesting the correct command to use.
    • Migrations applied by the new migrations system now run inside a transaction, together with the record of the migration having been applied. If a migration raises an exception its changes are rolled back and it stays pending, so it can be safely re-applied after the error is fixed. Migrations that cannot run inside a transaction, such as those executing VACUUM, can opt out using @migrations(transactional=False) - see Migrations and transactions.
    • table.upsert() and table.upsert_all() now detect the primary key or compound primary key of an existing table, so the pk= argument is no longer required when upserting into a table that already has a primary key.
    • db.table(table_name).insert({}) can now be used to insert a row consisting entirely of default values into an existing table, using INSERT INTO ... DEFAULT VALUES. (#759)
    • Improvements to the sqlite-utils migrate command: --stop-before values that do not match any known migration are now an error instead of being silently ignored, --stop-before now works correctly with migration files that still use the older sqlite_migrate.Migrations class, and --list is now a read-only operation that no longer creates the database file or the migrations tracking table. migrations.applied() now returns migrations in the order they were applied.
    • New db.begin(), db.commit() and db.rollback() methods for taking manual control of transactions, as an alternative to the db.atomic() context manager.
    • New documentation: Transactions and saving your changes describes how transactions work and when changes are committed, and a new Upgrading page details the changes needed to move between major versions.

    The Like heart is fixed (theme 0.5.288). It only worked on the home page. On a single-post page or a profile page, clicking it looked dead -- but it was actually toggling your like on the server with no feedback, which is why likes seemed to come and go at random. Scott Hanson's report (works on home, not on a single-post page) gave away the pattern. Now the heart fills in and the count updates in every view. If a Like of yours went missing this week, that was the bug -- please try again.

    I just found that the like button works on the home page (https://rss.chat/) but not on a page for a single post (i.e. https://rss.chat/?id=162).

    I'm moving rpc.rsscloud.io to a new server this weekend. Shouldn't have any downtime. I have the new server proxying to the old server right now while DNS propagates. Tomorrow, I'll get the new server running, copy over the data, and perform a real-time switchover. When the new version is live, I'll announce a new feature I've been working on. 😊

    Can NATO allies avoid a clash with Trump in Ankara?

    Despite all the backslapping and glad-handing, transatlantic tensions are never far from the surface at the annual gathering of NATO leaders. It’s unlikely to be any different when they gather in Ankara next week. Sharp differences ​over burden-sharing and defense spending, and U.S. complaints about its allies’ lack of ​involvement in re-opening the Strait of Hormuz, are likely to come to the fore.   EU leaders hope the summit will help steady transatlantic relations, but will President Trump be in listening mode when he arrives in Turkey? On this week’s Brussels Playbook Week Ender podcast, Peter Snowdon talks to Estonia’s Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur, who is rapidly increasing his country’s defense budget and capabilities, while Anne McElvoy catches up with POLITICO’s NATO reporter Victor Jack, who has been finding out what’s happening behind the scenes at NATO headquarters.

    « DĂšs qu’elle le peut, l’extrĂȘme droite s’empare de l’équipe de France comme d’un outil de com’ »

    Si tu gagnes, tu deviens un hĂ©ros, Ă  condition de ne pas faire de vagues. Si tu perds, alors tu t’exposes Ă  l’humiliation et au racisme. Cette loi d’airain, c’est celle qui s’impose aux joueurs de football professionnels racisĂ©s qui Ă©voluent dans l’élite mondiale. 

    La Coupe du monde masculine de football 2026, organisĂ©e notamment au pays du suprĂ©maciste en chef Donald Trump, n’échappe pas Ă  ce rappel Ă  l’ordre. 

    Un seul exemple : l’avalanche de propos racistes contre les joueurs de l’équipe des Pays-Bas Justin Kluivert, Quinten Timber et Crysencio Summerville, des joueurs noirs, humiliĂ©s aprĂšs l’élimination de leur Ă©quipe face au Maroc parce qu’ils ont ratĂ© des tirs au but... 

    Oui, le foot est une fĂȘte, un sport populaire, un lieu d’émotions et d’élans joyeux. Mais des stades de la Coupe du monde aux arĂšnes plus discrĂštes du foot amateur, c’est aussi un lieu oĂč le racisme fait trop souvent partie de la fĂȘte.

    Dave Troy Presents Dave Troy Presents

    The Case for National Service with Scott Reich

    Scott Reich recently took the TED Democracy stage in Philadelphia to argue that a renewed ethos of service could help repair our fractured country. He joins Dave Troy for a conversation that runs from ancient Athens to a modern "GI Bill for civic service," by way of Robert Putnam, the 1917 baseball All-Star Game, and the simple, radical idea that citizens owe something to one another.

    Reich and Troy arrived at similar conclusions by different paths: that social mixing across background, region, and class — not screens and headlines — is how a democracy rebuilds trust. Together they make a hopeful (and stubbornly non-partisan) case for citizenship as a practice, not merely a slogan.

    (Production note: a couple of brief internet dropouts affected Scott's audio; we've worked around them.)

    Guest:

    Scott Reich - presidential historian and attorney; author of "The Power of Citizenship: Why JFK Matters to a New Generation" and the forthcoming "One Day in September: Baseball, Brotherhood, and the Birth of the All-Star Game"; board member of the JFK Library Foundation and a lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania.

    00:00 Cold open: why national service

    01:18 Meet Scott Reich and the TED Democracy talk

    04:34 Citizenship: rights, but also obligations

    05:43 From "impossible" to practical: connection and service

    07:45 The baseball "farm system": start with the young

    10:18 What we stopped teaching: civics and Western civ

    12:30 The proposal: a modern GI Bill for civic service

    14:03 Ancient Greece and the making of a citizen

    15:29 Mandatory or voluntary? Incentives over mandates

    18:01 Reviving civic life: Peace Corps, clubs, and lost associations

    19:55 The commoditization of youth sports

    22:53 We've always argued: Adams, Jefferson, and healthy disagreement

    24:49 "One Day in September": how Americans used to gather

    29:02 Putnam, disinformation, and the loneliness crisis

    Michael Shamblin Black on The Way Down and Escaping Remnant (Part 2)

    Michael Shamblin Black is back for Part 2, and this one goes to the darkest corners of life inside Remnant Fellowship—and the even darker corners of life after it. Michael walks us through the red flags he couldn't ignore: Gwen's suffocating control, the Remnant "guidance system" cataloging every member's doubts and mapping their homes (collateral, just without the branding), an arranged marriage designed to keep him monitored, Joe Lara's sniper threat with a Creedmoor round, and the moment the plane went down and he felt, honestly, relief. We talk about what it's like to be PIMO—physically in, mentally out—for years, secretly recording meetings and writing in a hidden journal while singing worship songs on stage. Then comes the aftermath: sleeping on an air mattress chasing rats with a machete, stress-induced chest pain, hair falling out in clumps, suicidal ideation, and a stalker with 15 arrests who'd been at it since 2010.


    Michael's still here, still fighting, and still hoping his kids find their window out. We end with his message to anyone still inside Remnant, the healing power of finally being able to say the things out loud, and the wild fact that Jennifer Grey—yes, Baby from Dirty Dancing—plays his mother in the Lifetime movie, Starving for Salvation. Reaction video incoming

    Create a Happier Version of Yourself: Redirect Your Energy for Positive Thinking

    In this episode, you will learn how to take back your power when you’re in the midst of change, stress, or uncertainty, and then redirect your energy for self-transformation. 

    If there’s an area of your life that you’re feeling unhappy about and want to take control over, today’s episode will show you exactly what to do. 

    Joining Mel in this deeply personal episode is her 21-year-old son Oakley. He candidly shares how he went from feeling stuck and lonely, to finally feeling happy again, and the simple mindset shifts and changes that made the biggest difference. 

    He and Mel openly unpack how to go from feeling unhappy about a situation you feel like you don’t have a lot of control over, and how to move through it.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    -How the fantasy version of your past keeps you from seeing what’s possible now

    -How to know whether it’s you or the situation that needs to change

    -Why it’s unfair to criticize where you are if you haven’t done this one thing

    -How long you should give a new situation before deciding if it’s the right fit

    -The 4 things you may be doing to keep you stuck and unhappy

    -The signs that you’re “quietly quitting” the situation you’re in

    -The science of luck and what happy people do to make their own luck

    -The first thing you need to do when you’re unhappy and want your life to feel different

    Here’s the hard truth: nobody is coming to rescue you - and that’s good news.

    It means you have more power than you think.

    The moment you see what’s keeping you stuck, you can start changing it. After today, you’ll know exactly what needs to change first.

    Affaire Jean Pormanove : copains comme bourreaux | 2/2

    La mort du streamer "Jean Pormanove" en aoĂ»t 2025 a entraĂźnĂ© un dĂ©chaĂźnement mĂ©diatique. DerriĂšre les Ă©crans de sa chaĂźne Kick, RaphaĂ«l Graven de son vrai nom, Ă©tait victime depuis plusieurs annĂ©es de sĂ©vices physiques et d’humiliations aux accents validistes de la part d’autres streamers - tous se prĂ©sentaient comme des amis. À l’approche du procĂšs qui vise deux d'entre eux, il devient crucial d’interroger les rapports de pouvoir du groupe pour mieux saisir l’engrenage qui a conduit Ă  ce spectacle de la violence - un spectacle qui a permis au groupe de rĂ©colter les dons de plusieurs dizaines de milliers d’internautes pendant des annĂ©es.

    Quels mĂ©canismes ont poussĂ© cette bande de potes Ă  instaurer des rapports de domination aussi violents, ciblant la vulnĂ©rabilitĂ© de certains de ses membres ? Que rĂ©vĂšle cette dynamique du souffre-douleur sur les codes de l’amitiĂ© masculine ? 

    Naomi Titti poursuit sa conversation avec Marie Turcan, journaliste chez Mediapart Ă  l’origine de l’enquĂȘte sur le chaĂźne Kick « JeanPormanove », rĂ©vĂ©lĂ©e dĂšs la mi-dĂ©cembre 2024.

    Found it.

    The mystery caller wasn't a person — it was Applebot, Apple's web crawler. It was crawling our story pages (the ?id= links) and firing a request to an internal endpoint (/getitembyguid) without the id it needed, which is what threw the error.

    Two things came out of it:

    1. The server no longer crashes on that call — it now logs the bad request and moves on. (The request-header logging Jake suggested is exactly what caught the user-agent and gave it away.)
    2. Next step: a robots.txt rule telling crawlers not to hit that endpoint. Applebot checks robots.txt, so that should quiet it down for good.

    Thanks to everyone who helped look.
