Thanks to @patrickrhone and his sweater talk I am now reminded that I must begin the process of acquiring an Aran garment.

Kitt Hodsden’s Ending Things fits with my word for 2025.

Worth your attention, from the desk of Chris Wilson: Live by the attention economy, die by the attention economy.

YOU’RE OPENING A LINK, the silos warn.

Apparently everybody using a browser is a fucking idiot.

Thanks, silos. 👍

Merry Christmas Week everybody :)

I listened to Dune: Part Two today, as if it was a podcast.

10/10 would recommend 📽️🎙️

I posted four issues of the bts newsletter in the past five weeks. Quite happy with that since it is an experimental outlet with no schedule; this is due to how actively I am working on TIL in private. Not long ago I wasn’t even doing that.

You can get the latest issue by following the newsletter.

If you’re interested in the new Micro.blog Collections feature and want to get started by first making a Collection, I posted the instructions for doing so.

Edited and exported some audio for the first time. Uh oh… that was fun 👀

Let’s see how well new posts are getting into the timeline.

I wonder who counts as an active user.

How quick are new posts?

To start a Collection, on the web for Micro.blog:

• Go to Uploads ->
• Go the address bar ->
• Add /collections/new to the end of the URL ->
• Select “Enter/Return” to go to that address ->
• You should see the page for starting a Collection.

(Edit: There is now a New Collection button.)

Testing Collections shortcode in a post, for @pratik and co:

My word for 2025: FOUNDATION.

England: home to ARM.
Also England: let’s spend consecutive decades doing nothing to double-down on this insanely good entity.

When I was in school, they removed the computers, the computer lab, and behaved as if computers didn’t exist.

“Great” Britain indeed.

I updated Safari and I’m pretty sure Apple decided “Oh hey you somehow switched off some of these things we think you should use.” and all I can think is “Fuck off, Tim.”

Maybe if we could press / and the tagmoji would appear in a menu picker. 🤔

Listening to a remix of Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) by Les Gordon. 🎵

Finished a late night of work by sending out the new issue of bts and making two new blogs. Feels good 💪

Instead of publishing that snarky post I just wrote, I’m going to share this post of a Very Good Sweet Good Good Boy.

Now testing with a singular mention of @maique. Maybe two mentions was dangerous!

Another notification test for @maique, this time as a full post. Hi @maique 👋

No free writing this morning. An intentional choice, which feels as good as having done the exercise.
