When I see deputy editors for large news organisations casually sharing AMP links it’s more than a facepalm; it’s the sad realisation that the people most at risk of being chewed out by the big tech companies are also those most willing to let it happen.
I would like to point you in the direction of @DiplomaticDiva for Micro Monday, who since the beginning of October in particular has run my favourite photoblog; (mostly) early morning pictures of London capture so much with a single shot, especially this recent one.
Pro tip for the Micro.blog timeline; if you want use the One True Shrug Emoji, insert extra slashes, like so:

Sharing things on Twitter is so much more fun when it is for the purpose of convincing people to use it less. ;)
While I’m complaining about stuff: 1. I don’t like Medium.com, 2. I hate autoplay 3. I’m not signing up for your damn newsletter because you just covered up the entire screen and everything I came to your site for, you muppet, 4. I don’t want to chat either.
Same.
“Gun control” is a funny phrase. It’s the kind of thing I’d say with reference to cattle, not human beings.
Leaving Twitter for personal use has become a form of self-care: Exhibit #WE’VE-STOPPED-COUNTING-BY-THIS-POINT
Oh, I see verification via website has made its way into Mastodon. It’s fair to say I agree with this approach. 😊
I feel good about getting the first issue of the new series from the @til Updates blog out today: The Macro Report. This is the first of a few new things for the project; I’ll post an update covering everything in the next couple of weeks.
Seeing a lot of “the iPad Pro is being held back by iOS” and it’s hardly surprising. The success of the iPhone likely made the iPad Pro even possible in the first place, but also holds it in place since Apple has yet to show the ability to release an iPad-focused update to iOS.
I missed a whole god-damn batch of updates for TIL last month. 😐

That’s just fucking cool.
Testing IndieWeb username. Hi, @eli!
The photography on display across Micro.blog is fantastic. You can see a selection of it in the photo filter for Discover. ⭐
I wonder if it’s possible to remove Pocket from Firefox and modify the context menu. 🤔 This is the only problem I have compared with Chrome.
Between the Hacker News post and the brand new feature for connecting your Micro.blog account with Mastodon it’s fair to say even through my limited view there has been a lot of excitement on Micro.blog!
For newcomers, hi! 👋🏻 I have a personal Introduction here.
Got my On This Day page up and running. I hit 1 year on Micro.blog just under 3 weeks ago, on the 18th of October. 🎉
You can create this page for yourself thanks to @cleverdevil, using the instructions on his GitHub page here. Thanks, Jonathan!
It’s great to see another third-party Micro.blog app in the works, for both iOS and Android no less! @vincent is blogging about developing the app on his site and you can also get information about Gluon on there. 🙌🏻⭐
