Weezer’s Keep Fishin' is probably still the best music video I have ever seen 🎵

Semi-Charmed Life, by Third Eye Blind is 25 years-old 🎵

I miss @smokey a lot. With that in mind, I’m going to return to posting @monday recommendations and begin publishing another of his regular posts: “Unpublished Drafts”.

Unpaid, but productive.

Blessed normal summer heat has returned 😭

TIL Hugo Conf is a thing.

One of my favourite parts of Micro.blog are the photos. Sunlit is on my home screen, alongside Glass and Flickr. I am also going to spend time setting up a feed reader for photos.

Next up: work on a blog post, or posts, to explain this and provide helpful links.

Very happy to see Ludovico Einaudi at NPR’s tiny desk 🎵

I love the choral moments from The Lord of the Rings soundtracks…

— Holly Honeychurch, Planets I on Bandcamp

It is past time to stop talking to random people on the internet about serious issues.

Especially if you encounter these people on algorithmically-designed networks with ad-driven business models.
