@rachellaudan Tone of voice failure. I was aping the view that seems to be prevalent among natural history filmmakers that to show humanity would be to despoil the natural.

@atthesauce The most important thing is to make the actual audio file available from the page itself. SoundCloud hides it away. I see your site is built on WordPress; there are a couple of plugins that will give you a player for the audio. DM me for more.

I had completely forgotten how we used to agree on Flickr tags for an event and then work together to create a shared record. Kevin is right that it ought not to be beyond the technologists to find a way to solve that. Maybe it will take off again too.

@SarahTaber_bww Yet another fascinating thread that really ought to have a life elsewhere, beyond the confines of Twitter. Luckily @thread_readerapp can help, a bit. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1056017439987777536.html

My question: was the tasters' bland preference unimodal?

@usfoodpolicy Still waiting for answers, although the silence speaks volumes. @threadreaderapp unroll please

@nxD4n I'm not absolutely sure, but if you disable the Public Comments plugin, I think that still allows webmentions through.

A good rule of thumb to decide between note with picture(s) and picture would be the ratio of words to pictures. If you allowed, say, 100 words per image you allow for a decent sized caption. I suppose if a post is literally just a picture of a button with an arrow that says “click here” you might get into trouble, but otherwise that would work.

@journeymanhisto Crucial to the success of roller milling was the purifier, perfected, in Minneapolis, by a Frenchman brought there from Quebec.

@journeymanhisto I find it incomprehensible why anyone would write 13 separate little tweets instead of a blog post. Luckily, @threadapp captured the story at https://threader.app/thread/1044577825091514368.
Also a central topic in my podcast series Our Daily Bread, especially episode 13.

I'm really glad you're enjoying the podcasts. I would also like to know more about your brother-in-law's starter and how you have continued to use it. Fancy an actual conversation?
