“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.

@annia It's a nice point, that Anthropocene blames all people rather than the rich few, but alas Oligocene is already spoken for.

@marcelweiss Doesn't seem that extreme to me, perhaps because I have been doing it for quite a few years. But I am no techie, and many modern CMS enable quite a lot of the interaction that IndieWeb promotes.

@marcelweiss "the indieweb crowd has historically put too much emphasis on this extreme case". What is the extreme case you are referring to, please?

@allysseriordan Only three days, which is a bit of a pity. Taking the time to travel by train makes it more of an adventure and let’s me see other places along the way.

Jeremy Cherfas

@allysseriordan Me too! Three hours into a two-day trip from Rome to Budapest, with an evening in Venice.

@ChrisAldrich Hardly surprising. The topic may have a long history, but it is very of the moment too.

Two explainers on tomato colour at

I cannot recall anything but red tomatoes from my youth. Yellow was dangerously exotic maybe 30 years ago. All that diversity, hiding out of plain sight!
