On Bluesky, inbound RSS is becoming a thing.#

It's noteworthy that we haven't seen many outages as Bluesky scales. On Twitter they had fail whales for years. #

What matters with social networks is what you can get done there, not so much the features of the network. Bluesky has the same features today it had a month ago. The difference is we had an election in the US, I guess that was the catalyst. The presence of Elon Musk so close to Trump says there is a need for a Musk-free place. I've kept my account on Twitter. I started there in 2006, and I love the web more than I feel it would do any good to erase my presence there. It's pretty much against my religion to deliberately erase bits of the web. And whatever you think of Twitter, it is most definitely part of the web.#

Adventure Time is such a good show

it was Chair Pose Night at yoga tonight and my legs are very angry at me

It’s time for another dancing in the kitchen video, ready or not!!!

I’m not technically in the kitchen but trust me, this was safer (giant pot o’ chili on the stove). & I learned how to speed videos up, so basically I’m a movie wizard now.

Dancing is human like art is human like love is human.

 

• 🎮 Donut Country — You move a hole around and get things to fall down it. Very satisfying mechanic. The kid and I loved it. Except the story part, which was excruciatingly long and boring. More things falling into holes and puzzles and less talky talky.

📕 The Nineties — A smart look back at this decade. I don’t think there is much to be learned here, but the analysis was still astute and the nostalgia was thick.

📺 The Penguin — Pop Culture Happy Hour convinced me this “Batman without Batman” thing was a good show, and they were right. It’s way more interesting than it should be for such a nothing premise.

🎮 Unravel Two — From 2018 just like Donut Country. Maybe that’s just how long it takes for games to become “free” on Xbox Game Pass as that’s how we got both. This game rules. It’s a puzzle-per-screen pretty much with very gently increasing complication. The kid can play, but if it gets too hard, it’s not entirely necessary.

📺 Wednesday — Endearing and perfectly cast.

📺 Slow Horses — People kept trying to convince me it was good but I had like three false starts as it starts soooo slowwww and boring. It finally got going and I ended up really liking the real-time-ish feeling romp of Season 1. I’ll probably keep going eventually. I’m just petering out on shows lately, even ones I like. Whatever I just like going to bed at 8pm.

Hey! I've been thinking a lot about art today and I thought I would share a few of my favourite paintings with you. I tried to limit myself to dead people's work since I don't just want to repost someones art without permission.

Bless Brother Ali. He can be righteously angry on one track and beautifully moving on another. Indeed, using your heart for what hearts are for.
