This is perhaps the single best strip I have seen all year.
A space for mostly short form stuff and responses to things I see elsewhere.
Because it is an inescapable law of journalism that a simple yes/no question in a headline almost always requires a "No". And in this particular case, I do not believe blogging waned in 2018. QED.

@jeremycherfas Olivia Jaimes is great and I love her Nancy reboot. Thanks also for the link to the comics RSS! I had been slogging through the gocomics website previously and now my life is improved

@vasta I find the reboot gives me enormous pleasure every time.

Not a crazy idea at all. And it reminds me that I failed to link to a very impressive presentation by the very impressive David Runciman. https://www.talkingpoliticspodcast.com/blog/2018/129-democracy-for-young-people He would give 6-year olds the vote.
How Long Should a Podcast Be?
1 min read
Podnews has a piece that many podcasters could usefully read. The bit that resonated was this quote from Roman Mars:
If you have 100,000 listeners and you edit out one useless minute you are saving 100,000 wasted minutes in the world. You’re practically a hero.
Not quite a hero, I can at least count myself a mini-hero.

Not quite a hero, I can at least count myself a mini-hero. Definitely some sage advice. I recall The Economist going a step further in their analysis a few years back and providing visuals on a 4 minute video: The hidden cost of Gangnam Style: What humanity could achieve if it weren’t galloping in front of computer screens
The hidden cost of Gangnam Style
I think that you capture something important here Jeremy. For me what matters is how much effort has been given to edit the content and remove the cruft.

@cn Re: OwnYourGram I'm all set up for watching logs in real time now, but not seeing a way to either resend or nudge OwnYourGram. Can you tell me what I’m looking for?

@jeremycherfas OK, found it.

@jeremycherfas it’s stopped working for me 🤡

@cn Oh perfect!. Remind me why we do this stuff.

@cn Anyway, I think I now have a sensible debug report that I have added to the issue.

I don't follow Dave Winer religiously, so I don't know whether he revisited his predictions for what Twitter was or would become. I do know that @brentsimmons stopped narrating his work there less than a year after he started. YMMV.
Updated to latest HEAD of WithKnown and hoping that might solve the multiple-photo problem. Better create a multiple photo post on Instagram, then.

@jeremycherfas Alas, no end in sight.

@jeremycherfas it worked for me, can send my copy of Micropub/Endpoint.php if that would help?
, Nov 22 2018 on micro.blog
@cn I just did a pull; is that enough?
, Nov 22 2018 on micro.blog
@jeremycherfas potentially, does your copy now have the recent debug changes etc?
, Nov 22 2018 on micro.blog
@jeremycherfas I didn’t do anything with hashtags, so do not know their effect on a multi–photo post
, Nov 22 2018 on micro.blog
@cn I don’t know for sure. I've asked Marcus on Twitter where I find the debug stuff.
And I’ve given up on hashtags because Known strips them.

@jeremycherfas it shows up in my nginx error log; it will depend on web server, and host …

@cn Apache. Dreamhost. I will take a look.

@jeremycherfas Definitely one of my favorite Nancy comic strips in a long time.
