Just set up a #skybridge folks can use to bridge their #bluesky accounts to #mastodon / #activitypub apps. It's free & public for now, may go private if it starts to use up too many server resources.

The #WhiteHouse deleted its public #RSS feeds, so I used the #FOSS tool #RSS-Bridge to rebuild them. A quick look at why these small pieces of data infrastructure matter + links to the restored feeds → sij.law/bridges-to-n...

Someone asked me about the #WarrantCanary I recently introduced on We2.ee — how it holds up legally, whether it's just digital virtue signaling. It’s a sharp question, and one I wanted to explore thoroughly. sij.law/warrant-cana...

Jimmy Carter's presidency preceded my lifetime, but as a student of history, I've found no other U.S. president who matched his moral integrity. His term stands as a rare beacon of ethical leadership between two darker chapters in American foreign policy—as does his later humanitarian work.
