  • Trump Demands FCC Punish Media Companies For His Sagging Polling

    Our full-diapered mad king is at it again, this time urging FCC boss Brendan Carr to go after media companies for the crime of….simply pointing out his terrible, crashing polling numbers: Trump last week also posted a long, rambling screed on his personal propaganda website, vowing that NBC News‘ Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker would be “reported […]
  • Android Auto Has Been Hammering My Phone’s Battery

    I've noticed recently that my phone needs to be charged way more often than I used to have to do it. I used to be able to go for nearly 2 days on an 80% charge, but I started having to charge daily. Sometimes even multiple times per day!

    My first thought was that my 2.5 year old Pixel 9A might be starting to show signs of age, and the battery was on its way out. But I have always had charging optimised, so it only charges to 80%. Looking at the health of my battery in settings, it shows the health as normal and reports a 100% capacity. So it's not the battery.

    The final straw came when I went to bed one evening with a charge of around 65%, only to wake up the next morning with just 30% of my battery remaining. How the fuck had my phone used so much battery while I was sleeping??

    I checked which apps had used all that battery and to my surprise it was Google Maps and Android Auto.

    6.5 hours of "screen time" while I was asleep!

    Ok, something is clearly fucked with Android Auto here, but I've been using it for years and it's been fine, so what's changed?

    New car

    The only thing that has really changed from an Android Auto perspective was that I'd got a new car which now used wireless Android Auto instead of having to plug a cable in.

    After some research, it turns out that wireless Android Auto is an absolute resource hog.

    Unlike standard Bluetooth audio, the wireless projection that Android Auto uses forces your phone to continuously compress and stream a high frame rate video feed over a Wi-Fi link, all while aggressively hammering the GPS and cellular radios too.

    To make matters worse, if the car is parked anywhere near the house, the phone can get stuck in a persistent background polling loop that blocks deep sleep, basically turning the handset into an expensive pocket radiator.

    Nice in winter, but not so bueno when you need your phone and it has a dead battery!

    The fix

    The fix, dear reader, was rather simple. Disable wireless Android Auto. However, in practice it was more difficult than I had expected.

    I had to enable developer options within Android Auto's settings so the "disable wireless Auto" option became available.

    Why is that even a developer option? It should be a standard option IMO.

    Then I had to fiddle with the car's settings to not force wireless Android Auto, but instead prefer plain old Bluetooth. By doing this it allows me to still use Android Auto when I plug a USB C cable in, but by default it only uses Bluetooth.

    The infotainment display in my car is pretty nice, so I'm not really missing anything by not using Android Auto. Plus, it annoys me that Navigation always shows up - I don't need it most of the time, so why waste the computing power and screen real estate?

    Anyway, it's been a few days now and my battery is back to lasting me a couple of days. Worst case I need to quickly pull out my phone to open Spotify or my podcast app, AntennaPod, before I drive away, so the car picks up the media stream.

    If I really need it, full Android Auto is only a USB C cable away, and I know it won't hammer my battery after I get out of the car.

    Final thoughts

    I've ranted about how complicated modern cars are before, but this is just another example of how annoying it is. I'm a technical person, so can work this out for myself, but many of my friends and family would have had no chance in figuring this shit out, let alone fixing the problem.

    It's too much - they're too intrusive. I don't need to be connected everywhere. I don't need phone notifications in my car, and I usually don't need a sat nav - plus my car has it's own sat nav! I just want a way to stream media from my phone, without it getting as hot as the surface of the sun and wasting a tonne of battery power. Is that too much to ask?

    Anyway, it's fixed now (I think). If you're having battery issues on your phone, it might be worth checking your wireless phone connection to your car too.

  • Inside Ukraine's Kill Zone

    Inside Ukraine's Kill Zone

    by Reuters

    Really interesting (and saddening) look at the front line in the Ukraine/Russia war.

    Read post ➡

    Saw this on Dense Discovery. It's a really interesting look at how the shape of warfare has changes from soldiers with weapons, to drone-based attacks.

    The days of heavy mechanised manoeuvres are over; a drone costing a few thousand dollars can disable a tank worth millions.

    -- Reuters

    I served in Iraq and Afhganistan with the British Army in the early 00's. Back then drones were used, but were in their infancy. The fact that we've completely moved to this kind of warfare in ~20 years in scary.

    I learned a lot in this post. It's both interesting and extremely saddening. My thoughts are with all those involved in this needless conflict.

  • Is Trump Trying to Lose the Midterms?

    Weeks after a Republican campaign committee called AI data centers the "anchor hanging around" GOP candidates' necks, Trump weighs in to say that all Americans who oppose data center construction are "backwards and poor" — while he digs in on the trade war with Canada and the hot war with Iran. 

    No wonder a leading Republican senator tells Politico that Trump — and the whole party — are "in serious trouble." Jon, Lovett, and Tommy try to make sense of Trump's choices at home and abroad, process the latest from the courts on mail-in voting and the White House ballroom, discuss Abdul El-Sayed's apology to Michigan's Jewish community, and react to the latest racist provocation from Laura Loomer. 

    Then, Tommy sits down with Aaron Ford, the Democratic nominee for governor in Nevada.

  • The Cult of Bellum Entertainment

    This week, Chelsea and Iman investigate The Cult of Bellum Entertainment, the true crime production company whose founder, Mary Carol McDonald, allegedly spent years building a very different kind of crime empire behind the scenes. True crime podcaster Jami Rice (@jamionair) joins us with an especially wild perspective: she was working at the bank that approved McDonald for a $15 million loan after she allegedly posed as an heiress to an $80 million fortune. We get into bouncing paychecks, unpaid freelancers, fake family lore, suspiciously persuasive baked goods, a lawyer with his own bonkers backstory, and the sunk-cost psychology that kept employees hanging on even as the red flags started multiplying. Come for the Hollywood labor exploitation, stay for the revelation that apparently even the pies were part of the grift. Granny Delvy, your table is ready.

  • Administration Escalates Deportations To Haiti As Violent Gang Attacks Escalate In Haiti

    I can’t assume the Trump administration hoped this would happen. But I can’t believe no one in the administration (Trump, Stephen Miller, Tom Homan) isn’t secretly thrilled that this has happened.

  • Low haE

  • Book detail pages

    Micro.blog has had great support for blogging about books for years, including through our companion app Epilogue for iOS and Android. But one thing has always bugged me: when you blog about a book, by default it creates a link to a special URL on Micro.blog with the book details, not a link to your blog's own domain name.

    Linking to the micro.blog domain was useful as a sort of centralized identifier that we could build other features on. That page in turn links to Amazon, Goodreads, and Open Library. It doesn't even have Micro.blog branding if you're not signed in. But bloggers should have more control over how these links work.

    We're introducing a new setting to solve this. Click on Bookshelves → Settings → "Link books to detail pages on your blog".

    With that setting enabled, links to micro.blog/books/isbn are automatically rewritten to use your own domain name when Hugo processes your blog.1 If you don't have the plug-in "Book reading goals" installed, it will also be installed automatically, providing a Hugo template that gives these book detail pages a basic design. It looks like this:

    Here's the same page on my blog.

    Because it's just Hugo metadata, themes and plug-ins can override the template to make it match your blog's design, or to include more information such as number of pages, book genre, or links to other services.

    See this help page for the front matter parameters that are available. All the metadata is also available in the Hugo data directory, which even if you don't use it directly is available in blog backups.

    There is still some follow-up work to do, such as updating Epilogue to be smarter about finding these links at different domain names. Also, I don't necessarily expect everyone to enable this setting, especially if you don't have time to customize the page for your own blog. Still, I'm excited to get this rolled out. Happy reading! 📚

    Footnotes

    1. Micro.blog will create these book pages as it needs to, starting with new posts. For older blog posts, you can re-save them or run a full rebuild from the Logs page.

  • I've been watching The Pitt, but it can be a bit much, so I went looking for something a bit lighter, and found 9 to 5 on Amazon Prime. Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton are the stars, and Dolly's famous song with the same name is the theme. It's a perfect slice of the world I grew up in. I get it confused with Working Girl which came out eight years later, with a similar theme -- what if women ran the business world, how much better would that be? Working Girl also had a really good theme song, written and performed by Carly Simon.

  • [Help needed] Social Media Aggregator?

    As I'm trying to escape the creeping negative influence of technology in my life, I want to make a commitment to limiting the amount of time I spend on social media apps, especially the awful invention that is "infinite scroll".

    I believe fighting the addiction to my phone would be a *lot* easier if I could simply combine all of my followed profiles on YouTube, Instagram, and Reddit into *one feed* which is chronological and doesn't insist on feeding me garbage I didnt ask for.

    However, it seems like doing so is difficult, because big tech companies deliberately make it impossible to view content outside of their walled garden.

    I would love if someone could provide pointers for how a dumbass like me can synthesize all of the content I find interesting in one place. I am willing to try any solution, no matter how hacky, to make it happen. (I am on Android if that's relevant.)

    Any tips are appreciated 🙏🙏

  • THE INSTASCAMMER - THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD

    FULL SERIES - THE INSTASCAMMER

    No one expected it to happen online.

    This is where the story begins: how a wellness figure built a devoted following through juice cleanses, food protocols, and private groups full of encouragement and before-and-after photos. What started as health advice quietly became something people trusted with far more than their diets. In this opening episode we trace that rise — the language, the promises, and the community that formed around a single voice — and set out how the series approaches what came next.

    We’re kicking off Season 9 live from our very special book launch conversation from July 2026 in Vancouver about our book, A Little Bit Culty: Navigating Cults, Control and Coercion. We chatted about the messy, hilarious, full-circle journey behind the book, then get into how to support someone who may be caught in a high-control group without pushing them further into isolation. We unpack love bombing, indoctrination, behavior and thought control, loaded language, personality changes, and the all-important question: is what you signed up for actually what you’re getting? Stay tuned for Part 2 on Thursday.

    One thing I’m trying to figure out is Hacker News. When I add it to FreshRSS, it only shows the original source link instead of the actual news or article content.

    Is there any way to get the news content directly in FreshRSS without having to open the original links every time?

  • Carl's Doomsday Scenario

    Carl's Doomsday Scenario

    Author: Matt Dinniman
    Genre: Fantasy, Sci-fi
    Released: 2021
    Rating: ★★★★★

    "The training levels have concluded. Now the games may truly begin."

    The ratings and views are off the chart. The fans just can't get enough. The dungeon gets more dangerous each day. But in a grinder designed to chew up and spit out crawlers by the millions, Carl and Princess Donut need to work harder than ever just to survive.

    They call it the Over City. A sprawling, once-thriving metropolis devastated by a mysterious calamity. But these streets are far from abandoned. An undead circus trawls the ruins. Murdered prostitutes rain from the sky. An ancient spell is finally ready to reveal its dark purpose.

    Carl still has no pants.

    They call it Dungeon Crawler World. For Carl and Donut, it's anything but a game.

    Learn more on Goodreads ➡

    Similar to the first book I absolutely loved this one too, and finished it in a couple days as well. This book focuses on the next level in the dungeon, level 3, and introduces new concepts to the game, as well as new characters.

    Of course, Dinniman continues to develop the main characters as well, and I'm finding myself beginning to like Princess Donut. Which is strange, as I'm not a cat person. 🙃

    Some intergalactic politics are starting to make their way into the story line too, which acts as a nice reprieve from all the mob killing...sometimes. I hope to see these story lines continue to develop as Carl and Donut (hopefully) continue to find out more about this whole shit show they find themselves in.

    Blooding loving this series.

  • A Doctor’s Gut Reset: 4-Part Protocol to Stop Bloating, Boost Energy, & Feel Better Now

    Why are you bloated all the time? 

    Why can certain foods suddenly make you feel terrible? 

    And what is actually going on inside your gut when nothing you try seems to work? 

    Today, Mel is joined by Dr. Rajsree Nambudripad, MD, a board-certified medical doctor specializing in integrative gut health and integrative medicine, who has spent years helping patients uncover what’s really behind their most stubborn symptoms.  

    This conversation will change the way you understand your gut – and reveal a simple 4-part protocol for getting to the root of what’s making you feel so bad so you can feel your best again. 

    Dr. Rajsree covers it all: IBS, bloating, SIBO, constipation, diarrhea, leaky gut, histamine intolerance, low stomach acid, reflux, food sensitivities, and more. 

    And she explains the surprising ways your gut can impact your energy, anxiety, focus, sleep, skin, weight, metabolism, blood sugar, and thyroid health. 

    You’ll learn: 

    -The 4 systems that control your gut health – and what happens when even one is out of balance 

    -2 steps you can start taking immediately to improve your gut health 

    -What causes bloating and how to stop it fast 

    -The 3 main symptoms of IBS and what they may be telling you 

    -What histamine intolerance is and how it disrupts your “gut garden” 

    -The surprising connection between your gut and your thyroid 

    -The Hashimoto’s symptoms your gut may reveal first 

    -How exercise can help reverse insulin resistance 

    -Why your “acid reflux” may actually be the opposite problem 
     

    If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” but you still don’t feel normal – or you’re tired of guessing which food, supplement, or symptom to chase next – this episode will help you understand what your body may be trying to tell you – and what to do next.

  • Broken feeds for newspapers owned by MediaNews Group?

    San Francisco Bay area newspapers owned by MediaNews Group (East Bay Times, Mercury News, Marin Independent Journal) have for a long time published RSS feeds for various sections of their sites. For example, the source code for the Mercury News homepage currently includes the following link to an article feed:

    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="The Mercury News &raquo; Feed" href="https://www.mercurynews.com/feed/" /> 

    My feed reader software indicates that these feeds all quit working on March 9th. When I try to load any of them directly in my browser, I get an HTTP 403 error.

    Does anyone know what happened and how we might get them to fix it? I tried contacting them via a form but never heard back.

  • Claude Code is like Victor Wembanyama, assuming you follow the NBA and are interested in first hand experience with CC as a programming partner for the last 8 months or so.

  • Understanding ChatGPT Work

    OpenAI announced ChatGPT Work on July 9th, and have been furiously iterating on it ever since. It is an extraordinarily confusing and very powerful product. Here's what I've figured out about it so far.

    ChatGPT Work is actually two products

    The more interesting version of ChatGPT Work is the one that runs in the cloud. This can be accessed via chatgpt.com or through the ChatGPT mobile apps. Let's call it Work Cloud.

    If you install the ChatGPT desktop app - the app that used to be called Codex - you gain access to a thing called ChatGPT Work that can access files and run programs directly on your computer. Let's call that one Work Local. This one feels more like regular Codex re-skinned to be less intimidating to non-software-developers.

    (Update: Work Cloud is also available from the ChatGPT desktop app, via a Where should this chat run? dropdown.)

    For the rest of this article I'm going to talk exclusively about Work Cloud.

    Work is for paid subscribers only

    Right now, ChatGPT Work (in both flavors) is available only to $20/month and up subscribers. Free users and $8/month Go users do not have access.

    Work has features that aren't available in Chat

    The interface for accessing Work is a tab selector, which presents it as an alternative to Chat:

    The obvious question is when should I use Chat, and when should I use Work?

    OpenAI's official answer to that question is:

    Use Chat when you want an answer, explanation, brainstorm, or short draft. Use ChatGPT Work when you want ChatGPT to complete a task with a clear outcome, such as a brief, deck, analysis, recurring update, workflow, or file you can review and use.

    I find that almost entirely useless, because I've been using regular ChatGPT Chat for all of those task categories for years!

    The better question then is what features does Work have that are missing from Chat?

    After extensive experimentation I think I've mostly figured that out:

    Model selection

    In Work, you get the option to pick GPT-5.6 Sol, Luna, or Terra, each with Light, Medium, High, Extra High, Max, or Ultra reasoning levels. You can also pick GPT-5.5 at Light, Medium, High, or Extra High.

    These look to be the same models that are available through the OpenAI API.

    Chat offers a different selection: 5.6 Instant, Medium, High, Extra High, and Pro (actually Extra High and Pro are only available for $100/month+ subscribers - $20/month subscribers cap out at High). It doesn't explain if those are Luna or Terra or Sol (I'm assuming Sol?). 5.6 Pro appears to be exclusive to Chat, with no equivalent in Work.

    My current understanding from using Codex is that Ultra is a special mode that more eagerly delegates to sub-agents.

    I believe ChatGPT Work sessions are billed against your Codex allowance, while ChatGPT Chat Sessions get their own, separate allowance. This may help explain the model availability differences.

    Code execution with Internet access!

    As a long-time fan of the Code Interpreter pattern - pioneered by OpenAI in 2023 - this is by far the most exciting feature of ChatGPT Work (Cloud) for me.

    The code execution environment can now talk to the rest of the internet!

    ChatGPT Chat can't do this - if you ask it to install additional software packages or interact with websites or APIs that access will be blocked by the container proxy.

    (Weirdly, back in January it grew the ability to install packages, but that doesn't seem to work any more. I wish they had better changelogs!)

    Claude's equivalent container has allowed restricted internet access since it launched last September. Claude can install packages from PYPI and NPM and clone repositories from GitHub. But that is about it: the allowlist of domains is very short.

    ChatGPT Work allows a whole lot more than that. It can be configured with a specific list of allowed domains, but the default appears to be open to all.

    This makes Work an incredibly useful tool. You can have it clone GitHub repositories, install their dependencies, then use them to interact with the rest of the web!

    A full, headless Chrome browser

    Another killer feature of ChatGPT Work is the browser tool. ChatGPT Work can launch a full Chrome instance, load websites, fill out forms, and take screenshots.

    If a site requires sign in the browser can prompt you to take over and enter both passwords and 2FA codes, without round-tripping those credentials through the model itself.

    It can even run JavaScript against the DOM of loaded pages. I prompted:

    Load simonwillison.net in your browser and extract the headings using JavaScript

    ChatGPT Work fired up a browser instance and ran the code:

    await tab.playwright.evaluate(() => {
      return Array.from(document.querySelectorAll("h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6"), heading => ({
        level: heading.tagName.toLowerCase(),
        text: heading.innerText.trim().replace(/\s+/g, " "),
        id: heading.id || null
      }));
    });

    This feels a lot like my shot-scraper javascript tool, only now I can access it on my phone!

    A persistent, shared filesystem

    ChatGPT Chat gets a fresh filesystem for each chat session. These cannot be accessed from any other session.

    In ChatGPT Work each session gets its own scratch folder - named something like /workspace/scratch/e00a0a017944 - but each of those are persisted across sessions, so you can access files from previous chats. I have 171 folders in /workspace/scratch right now!

    As far as I can tell that /workspace volume is mounted to all Work sessions that are currently running - file edits from one can be instantly seen by the others. They don't seem to share the same process space though, and localhost servers running in one can't be accessed from another.

    ChatGPT Sites

    ChatGPT Work has the ability to build and deploy entire websites, using Cloudflare Workers. These can have HTML and JavaScript and can run server-side features too, including stateful features on top of Cloudflare D1 and R2.

    Here's a simple site I built with this feature:

    london-pelicans-in-her-piety.simonw.chatgpt.site

    My prompt was:

    Figure out all of the places in London with a pelican in her piety, then turn that into a JSON file and build a ChatGPT sites site about them

    (A pelican in her piety is a fascinating piece of medieval Christian imagery - once you know about them you'll find them all over the place.)

    These sites default to being private to the user that created them, but you can make them public and (on team plans) share them with other specific individuals.

    Sub-agents with Sol, Luna, and Terra

    There's not much to say about this one. ChatGPT Chat can't run sub-agents. ChatGPT Work can. This is very much a power-user feature: if you are running a complex project that can benefit from multiple parallel agents working together, Work can do that.

    Scheduled prompt automations

    Another feature that seems to have migrated from regular ChatGPT to ChatGPT Work at some point. You can prompt ChatGPT Work like this:

    run a search to see if Waymo have announced a launch date for Half Moon Bay every day at 8am

    This will schedule a prompt to run on that frequency. These prompts can decide that nothing interesting has happened, or they can decide to notify you of some new information.

    Update: Actually this seems to work in ChatGPT Chat as well.

    It's still worth noting here though, as it can be used in conjunction with other ChatGPT Work exclusive features. You can set a scheduled task to update a ChatGPT Site on an hourly basis, for example.

    Is this safe?

    An open question for me right now is how safe all of this stuff is.

    My lethal trifecta model warns about the risks inherent in any agent system that combines access to private data with exposure to untrusted content and a way to communicate stolen information back to an attacker.

    ChatGPT Work combines all three!

    I'd love to hear more from OpenAI about how they protect ChatGPT Work sessions against prompt injection attacks. I expect their answer is the same auto-review mechanism as Codex.

    OpenAI could make this a lot less confusing

    Figuring this all out took way more work than it should have.

    I think there are two key problems here:

    1. OpenAI explain Work in terms of what it's for, not what it actually does
    2. OpenAI still insist on hiding their system prompts and tools descriptions

    If the ChatGPT Work documentation included the exact system prompt and tool descriptions used by the agent I wouldn't have needed to write this post.

    A list of all the tools

    Shortly after publishing this article I had an idea. I started a fresh Work session and prompted:

    Build a site that lists every one of your tools - nearly grouped into categories - and for each one explain what it does. Try to exactly duplicate arguments and tool descriptions where possible. Design aesthetic should be technical docs, minimal flare

    Here's the site it built, which includes details of 223 registered tools - though 6 of those are from my own personal MCPs served via datasette-mcp.

    And a whole lot of Skills

    I noticed that the only browser-related tool in the list was web.run, which has methods for running searches, opening URLs, and clicking links, but didn't look like the full story in regards to headless browser automation.

    This made me suspicious that something was missing, so I told the ChatGPT Work session that built that tools reference site:

    Add full copies of every skill to the website (separate pages linked to from the homepage)

    It turns out ChatGPT Work uses a lot of skills - 44 in fact!

    The control-browser skill explains how the browser works:

    Run browser setup code through the Node REPL js tool. In this environment the callable tool id typically appears as mcp__node_repl__js. [...]

    The ability to interact directly with the browser is exposed through the browser-client runtime via the agent.browsers.* API. Before trying to interact with it, you MUST emit and read the complete documentation returned by await browser.documentation() in one go.

    So I told Work:

    Add the full output of await browser.documentation() to the bottom of the /skills/control-browser page

    And now you can read that on /skills/control-browser as well.

    The AS/400 Revolution: “The System is the Solution” 🖥️

    The AS/400 (introduced in 1988) was revolutionary because it was one of the first systems to integrate the hardware, operating system, and database into a single box — way before that became a common concept. IBM’s “The System is the Solution” campaign was one of the most successful in computing history, and the platform lasted so long that it was rebranded as IBM i in 2008, yet still actively used in thousands of businesses worldwide in the 2020s.

    Even more impressive? RPG, which was created in the 1960s, is still in active use today — making it one of the longest continuously used programming languages in history. Many companies still rely on RPG programs written 30-40 years ago that continue to run flawlessly on IBM i systems.
