I continually get this message when visiting my own websites. No other sites. It is cross-domain. They aren't down. I've checked to make sure my IP isn't blocked by my host or the server. The site eventually works, either on its own or after refresh. It can sometimes take a while. Any ideas? Thanks!

Today marks 10 years of @communitysignal.bsky.social.

I plan to release a special greatest hits episode, but today I am busy chasing my toddler and decorating for the holidays, way later than I normally do.

I did want to take a moment to talk about what Community Signal represents to me.

I'm really saddened by the passing of Rebecca Heineman, a gaming giant. I first heard about her story in the Netflix docuseries High Score, one of my favorite projects that @blammoair.bsky.social has worked on.

Yes on 50. I'd love for redistricting to be done independently, as California has done the entire time I've lived here, but you have to take Trump at his word when he says he'll have a third term, and Christians "don't have to vote again" after electing him in 2024.
A close-up image of a ballot paper showing details for State Measure 50. The text describes the measure as "Authorizes temporary changes to congressional district maps in response to Texas' partisan redistricting. Legislative Constitutional Amendment." It mentions requiring the temporary use of new congressional district maps through 2030, directing an independent Citizens Redistricting Commission to resume enacting maps in 2031, and establishing a policy supporting nonpartisan redistricting commissions nationwide. A Fiscal Impact is noted. The "YES on Measure 50" option is marked.

Great to see Black Barbie honored twice at the 52nd Daytime Emmys, with wins in the Outstanding Arts and Popular Culture Program and Outstanding Writing Team for a Daytime Non-Fiction Program categories.

Congrats to everyone who worked on the film, including @blammoair.bsky.social.
A group of Black Barbie dolls are featured on a screen with the Emmy Awards statuette in the foreground. The dolls are dressed in elegant red and gold gowns, and all have different natural hairstyles. The doll on the far left and the one on the far right are wearing a draped red dress with a gold breastplate-like detail. The second doll from the left is in a voluminous, layered red gown with a gold choker-style necklace. The third doll is slightly out of focus and appears to be in a similar red gown to the first and fourth. In the background, there's a light-colored wall with a poster visible that reads "Black Barbie" and "Coming Soon!" along with a silhouette of a doll's profile. A black banner across the bottom reads: "BLACK BARBIE" followed by "NETFLIX [SHONDALANDMEDIA]". The overall aesthetic is dark and dramatic, framing the dolls in gold and black.

Elon Musk is not capable of appreciating online communities - or online social projects - and there are many examples of this, but I wanted to show you this one, which I find gross.
A screenshot of an X (formerly Twitter) post by Elon Musk. Musk's post shows a CBS News tweet from January 27, 2019, with the text: "Meet the man behind a third of what's on Wikipedia". The tweet includes a photo of Steven Pruitt, a man with light-colored hair and a green shirt, looking off-camera during what appears to be an interview.

I came across this great art of restaurants in Los Angeles, and I picked up a few for our walls. But then I saw that the artist, @henrykaye.bsky.social, took commissions, so I asked him to do illustrations of the places @blammoair.bsky.social and I went on our first date. They turned out amazing!
An illustrated art print by Henry Kaye of the restaurant Gino's of Long Beach. The drawing, with a reddish background and a light beige border, depicts the front of the building with its distinctive black awning and lit marquee. Below the illustration is text that reads, "GINO'S OF LONG BEACH, 15 WEST PARK AVENUE, LONG BEACH, NEW YORK 11561." The framed print hangs on a white wall. An illustrated art print of Ralph's Famous Italian Ices. The drawing, created by artist Henry Kaye, shows the front of the storefront with its blue and red awning. Various signs and posters are visible in the windows and on the walls, including one that reads, "VOTED #1 ON LONG ISLAND." Below the illustration is text that reads, "RALPH'S FAMOUS ITALIAN ICES 8 WEST PARK AVENUE, LONG BEACH, NEW YORK 11561." The framed print is on a white wall, positioned below a similar, larger print. An angled view of three framed art pieces hanging on a white wall. The top frame, with a red background and a light beige border, contains an illustration by artist Henry Kaye of Gino's of Long Beach. Below it is a second frame, with a red mat and a thin white border, holding another Henry Kaye illustration of Ralph's Famous Italian Ices. To the left of the two illustrations, a third, smaller photo print is mounted on the wall. It shows the front of a red brick building with large red doors and holiday wreaths. It is the Ghostbusters Firehouse in New York, New York. Patrick and Kara are embracing in front of the doors. A view of four framed art prints by artist Henry Kaye, all hanging on a white wall in a two-by-two grid. Each illustration depicts a different restaurant. Top left: The Musso & Frank Grill illustration has a bright green background and a pink mat. Top right: The Canter's Deli illustration has a brown background and a white mat. Bottom left: The Beverly Laurel Motor Hotel illustration has a bright pink background and a turquoise mat. Bottom right: The El Coyote Mexican Cafe illustration has a bright blue background and a white mat.

YouTube is caving to pressure from Jim Jordan to unban creators who had repeatedly violated community guidelines tied to COVID-19 and election integrity-related content. Just like many of those involved in January 6, a group of folks will now be given a redo. They will once again cause harm.
A screenshot of a tweet from "Rep. Jim Jordan" with the handle @Jim_Jordan. The tweet, dated September 23, 2025, reads: "But that’s not all. YouTube is making changes to its platform to prevent future censorship. YouTube is committing to the American people that it will NEVER use outside so-called 'fact-checkers' to censor speech. No more telling Americans what to believe and not believe." Below the main text of the tweet, a screenshot of an email from an attorney representing Google is visible. The quoted text is partially cut off but says, "ast to other large platforms, YouTube has not operated a fact-check identifies and compensates fact-checking partners to produce content ion. YouTube has not and will not empower fact-checkers to take a tent across the Company's services." The total view count for the tweet is "122.4K Views."

Anyway, had to stop by and make a purchase. Nobody goes after our neighbor @jimmykimmel.com, whose charity work puts Trump to shame.
Patrick is taking a selfie in front of the Jimmy Kimmel Live! theater in Hollywood. The person is a white male with a broad smile and is wearing mirrored sunglasses that reflect the surroundings. He has short, sandy-blond hair and is wearing a dark gray T-shirt with the phrase "GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS" printed on it in white and pink letters. Behind him, two other people are visible, and the building features large columns and a window with the show's logo and social media handles. A star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame is visible on the sidewalk. A store display featuring official merchandise for the television show Jimmy Kimmel Live! The display is made of wood and has several shelves. On the top shelf, a dark gray T-shirt with the show's logo is on a mannequin head, and a matching baseball cap is on a shelf next to it. On the middle shelf, several blue zip-up hoodies with the show's logo are hanging on a rack. Below them, on the same shelf, are two black baseball caps with the logo. On the bottom shelf, a stack of dark gray T-shirts with the show's logo is hanging on a rack.
