We're currently using Chicago, but we can switch to AP if there's a good reason. (Like, say, Chicago annoying our entire readership.)

We're currently using the Chicago Manual of Style. It's imperfect, but it's better than the alternatives, so far.
We're doing a small year-end news nerd countdown on Source. Lists are too much, so please send us ONE THING—an app, a tool, an article, a tweet, an image, a map, or something else entirely—that you loved this year. Might be something that made your job easier or made you smarter, or it might have more obscure relevance. All we ask is that you can link to it.
Don't think too hard about it, just take 30 seconds and send one in now to source@mozillafoundation.org. We'll be posting an assembly of favorite things and all we can say about it right now is that there will be GIFs.
Wooo.

Sometimes you write a piece of software and it gets used for purposes you didn't quite imagine at the time. Sometimes you write a piece of software and it unexpectedly rearranges your life.

In this post I'll give you some background on how the bot came to be, what it has been used for so far, and how it works. @CongressEdits taught me how the world of archives intersects with the world of politics and journalism. To explain how that happened, I first need to give a bit of background.

Seeking: Non-Cozy(tm) not also not completely nihilistic literary-ish mysteries or detective stories (not crime fiction) with fantastic audio editions. I’ve exhausted the usual suspects ranging from Chandler and Sayers and Tey through CJ Sansom’s too-gruesome but wonderful Shardlakes.
Love perfect dialogue, complex relationships (whatever kind), and thematic and plot elements I won’t twig to by chapter two. Bonus points for winteriness, genre-crossing, beautiful prose, light comedy, historical if done extremely well.
No police procedurals please.
And I should say that “mystery” doesn’t even need to be the primary genre—I love Katherine Addison’s Witness for the Dead series. I just need something with elements of puzzle to feed to my brain so that it doesn’t go other less helpful places rn.
