I appreciate that syndication is hard, and appreciate the work you are doing to make it easier. If I understand correctly, your plugin now sends mf2 to Bridgy and Bridgy makes the final decision as to what to send to, eg, Mastodon. If I knew how Bridgy used mf2, I could tweak my theme to suit.
Watch SE started losing charge very quickly, waking up to 18% rather than the usual 45–55% three days in a row. So, step one: hard reset. Tomorrow will tell.

Wow; what a great piece weaving together so many strands into a cohesive skein. Thank you. (I'd still like to read your version, if you ever write it.)
Interesting to see someone else dithering about how to present smaller, stream-like notes and longer articles. I have not resolved this to my own satisfaction, nor have I found a home I control for my newsletter. I have a domain, I just don't know how best to make use of it.
Top tip from a Park Tool video: use an old toe strap to keep centre-pull brakes close while you fasten cable. Worked a charm. We now can stop. Next: new chain and gear setting so we can go.
Thanks to Ton for the reminder about isochrones. I have been thinking along similar lines and may well try to adapt the isochrone mapping tool to my needs.
Barbie was great, apart from the ending before the ending.

Coincidence, I'm sure, to be mentioning an author and his book on the same day seven years apart.

Here's another of my climate emergency rants from back in the day, this day in 2007 as it happens.

I do not see anything at all that could rightly be considered controversial.
Rome-Munich direct is of immediate interest (I'll be doing it with changes in October) although all 10 projects will make life easier for train travellers in Europe.

Somewhat pooped after a long drive, Rome to almost the tip of Salento, made tolerable by a delicious lunch with friends at their new house along the way and the restorative nap that followed.
Now that Threads is here, I no longer see options to like or reply to a comment on a photo on IG.
More relevant than ever ... and yet, still very little progress.
Just put the finishing touches to Eat This Newsletter 210, with:

Nice to see someone else trying to revive blog carnivals in an IndieWeb context. Sara Jakša's first taster appeals on two levels; it is a blog carnival and it is about food. Count me in.
I just received an email that included this message in the signature:
“Sent from my iPhone, forgive predictive autocorrection errors😀”
So, what, you're just giving up any semblance of care?
The swifts are back.

New edition of Eat This Newsletter, throwing shade on citrons in Italy and biocrusts in Arizona, not to mention Greek inflation busters, sustainability commitments and a look beyond coronation quiche. Read it at https://
Ghosted on Apple TV+ is a very entertaining romp.
Matt Webb refuses to normalise milk from cows, and has some fun observations about how to specify the "milk" in his flat whites and regional variations in London. I don't take any "milk" in most of the coffee I drink, so not an issue for me.
This a very useful estimate, because I never really have a clue how much mobile data I am using. ½GB a day is probably a good guide.
This is the exact opposite of my experience, as a certified old fart. I learned to code Fortran on an IBM 370, then we got PDPs and I embraced Basic and later a bit of assembler. Then went dormant for a while so I missed everything. Now catching up.
I wonder what it would take to adapt the WithKnown Twitter plugin to use V2 of the API? Might need to look into that before throwing in the towel completely.
It has been a very long time since my last refereed paper was published, but here we are again. What is Wrong with Biofortification makes the case that staples with enhanced levels of micronutrient are not a good way to tackle micronutrient deficiencies. https://
A battle lost to protect the privacy of website visitors.
Is today the day I stop being able to POSSE here from @withknown? One failed yesterday, but that could have been an error.
If you are into #tinnedfishdatenight -- a thing I learned about for my newsletter -- you might want to consider mercury levels. Sean Wittenberg talked to me about Safe Catch, and you can listen on Spotify at https://
I've always used bayonet connection for the kind of lightbulb that does not screw in but is inserted and twisted a little.
One reason I love Rome: some douchebag scraped my car, actually breaking the fixtures for the parking light. Yesterday I took it to the neighbourhood bodyshop (yes, there is one) and it was fixed this morning, plus most of the paint the douchebag had left removed, for €50.
Trying once again to get a grip on my social media silos by taking another look at Monocle, and thinking this time it might stick.
And there I was, foolishly thinking that somehow a weather Station had blocked Chuck's work that had been in progress.
And having spent a happy couple of hours tinkering with occasional bits of success, I'm giving up again.
My conclusion now is that WithKnown actually does a lot of the heavy lifting itself, with reverse geolookups and so forth. Maybe try something a lot simpler, and send only lat-long
Calculating the signature not as easy as it seemed originally
At home, thinking about a location shortcut for WithKnown, and starting with the easy stuff.
There has to be a better music library manager and player for OSX than Apple's Music app, but which one? Your recommendations, please. Please!
TIL about the Bismarck Archipelago in the Bismarck Sea. Who knew? Not me, obviously.
My Dad would have been 100 today. I can't say I miss him every day, because that would not be true. But still.
I wish I knew why @launchcenterpro had suddenly decided to lock most of the functionality, but hey, that kind of behaviour is unlikely to encourage me to pay anything.
Does anyone know what happened to The Prince's Charities International Sustainability Unit? Did it turn out to be, er, unsustainable? Or something else?

Just to follow up and note that after carefully studying and then doing the set-up steps in the piece I linked, and then chasing down missing modules after nuking all `venvs` and tinkering in `.zshrc` everything seems to be operational. For now ...
Prompted by In Our Time, we (re)watched Citizen Kane last night. It really is very good, and holds up remarkably well. Lots more to look out for, thanks to the discussion.
I liked rss.app, but in all honesty is just is not worth $8.32 a month for me. I'll find another way ...
