I really, really like this series, and am thankful it comes around each year. (Even though Medium’s markup sucks.)

Shout-out to the intelligent, attractive, and discerning people of Ireland 🇮🇪 for helping put the podcast in the charts there. Brazil also gets an honourable mention 🇧🇷 for beating its previous best by quite a margin.

This will never work. Or will it? I can get a discount on Bike by replying to. Toot with a photo of my hometown, but I can’t attach a photo to this reply. Maybe Jesse with treat me kindly.

ooh.directory

So that’s what $project was! A new blog directory from Phil Gyford. Reminds me of Halt and Catch Fire s04.

@seyloubakery Has it really been almost five years since I visited? Time flies when you’re having fun. I listened again to Jonathan and it is no great surprise that Seylou has gone from strength to strength. www.eatthispodcast.com/bread-as-…

TIL about TATT and MUS.[C]ould it be possible that health care in a small farm future wouldn’t necessarily be inferior, because we have the wrong image of what health care involves?

More fascinating ideas from Chris Smaje:Why focus so much on the undeserving poor, rather than on the undeserving rich? Accounts of the undeserving rich do exist in our politics, but they’re not nearly so prominent as their counterpart. The numerous ways that the fortunes of the world’s rich people and rich countries are extracted from the poor ones go too little remarked. Out of wealth comes the power to keep writing the rules in favour of wealth, and thence the need to keep dusting its crumbs from the table in the form of stigmatizing welfare policies.

TIL just how easy it is to write functions in zsh to automate little chains.

“Stop Using WordPress to Microblog!” Kinda funny to read this, 15 years on, just when people are thinking seriously about using their WordPress sites to microblog.

Broke out my IndieWeb reader and added some feeds to get going again, thanks to your prompt.

Is that the standard Activity display you have? My watch is a 6SE and I do not usually see heart rate because the strap is loose and never have the map or weather.

When a Goebbels or Streicher declares that Jews drink the blood of baptized children, the strategic defense against such is not to join the argument and say, no, actually, they do not, and then drone out an analysis of the Tsarist forgeries in which the claim originates. The solution is to call the lying motherfucker a taintsniffing shitmonger and send his tweet to digital oblivion. Mock, block and roll.I’d certainly pay $8 to read more of this.

What’s missing, for me, is a solid social reader that is as easy to use as the Big Silo. I’m using one now, which gives a bit more context that a simple RSS feed and allows me to reply, I hope. A single place to interact, rather than N different places.
