Many thanks @GrassBased. I'll add the graph to my original post, which had it from Seth.

Someone else finding wisdom in the Marie Kondo thing. I'm not the world's tidiest person, and I am a bit of a hoarder, but I live with someone who is both less tidy and more of a hoarder than me. That frustrates me, especially over shared spaces, which almost all of them are. Chris highlighted one passage which suggests that blaming someone else for their untidiness is really about one's own untidiness. I really don't see, though, how to impose tidyiness on another. I can put stuff back in the "right" place over and over again, doesn't seem to change anything.

Not exactly sure what Colin Devroe means when he says he's "just going to publish her on my blog". I guess that means he's not interested in people, like me, publishing our comments on our blogs. Of course there's no compulsion to POSSE to be part of the , and if you don't want to, you shouldn't. But I hope he'll still accept webmentions.

Pretty impressive, although why anyone would have any tabs open while they are (presumably) asleep is a mystery to me. But then, I'm an old-fashioned kind of guy.

NYT vs Beppe Grillo: Is the clown an anti-vaxxer? Seems unlikely the NYT would get this wrong.

I've followed Tim Bray via RSS for what seems like forever. And I'm glad he's committed to keep going. I wonder, though, whether he'll see this comment of mine. If not, he needs to embrace at least a part of just a little more.

From the annals of bokeh comes this: "As a native speaker of Japanese, I have to point out that ōtofōkasu (オートフォーカス) means "autofocus", as in an AF camera. The romanization for "out-of-focus" would be autofōkasu (アウトフォーカス)."

Too perfect.

So interesting to read what @chrisaldrich has to say about the Seeing White podcast series. If somebody "born in South Carolina and then living in Georgia" can feel woefully ignorant, as I do, it reinforces what a great job John Biewen and his team are doing.

Just listened to @colinwalkers latest microcast. I'm not feeling the same excitement, perhaps because I wasn't in on the birth of Twitter, but I am enjoying watching various social spaces evolve and I agree that each documenting our steps adds up to something bigger.

@danielstucke The camera issue has been written about, and a fix demonstrated, but not yet accepted into the Known master. https://github.com/idno/Known/issues/1725
