As has become custom I’ve made a video of my years flickr photos. I edited the script a little to use larger images & added a different sound track.

Read Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver ★★★★★ 📚
David Copperfield about the opioid problem in Appalachia. I was sucked in by Demon’s voice. Glad I knew a happy ending for at least some characters was expected. I”ll wait a bit but rereading Dickens is on my list for 2024.
a blog post of meandering paths and uncertain destinations
Hi Alan, What better type of post could there be. Surprisingly, being a Scot, I prefer RSS porridge to the real thing. Your post is full of tasty discursions (I grabbed the NYT bookmarklet worked a treat to follow the reading).
Seeing the link to River of News, you might be interested in Dave Winer’s feedland.com. I’ve been playing with it and there is a lot to like about this RSS reader. (I also use inoreader and NetNewsWire). I use nitter to pass a few twitter feeds into Feedland as it supports RSS.
Thinking about online community, commercialization & size I keep coming back to theDS106 model & micro.blog. Both in essence or part are RSS readers. I think, without knowing the details, I prefer the simplicity of RSS over ActivityPub. For example a smaller Goodreads could just aggregate a tag/category of a set of blogs using some agreed taxonomies.
Not that early, it gets light quite late a the moment. First bright day in a while. Ardinning was golden this morning.

@tdc today’s #dailycreate #tdc4356 #ds106 took me longer than I expected. And would take even longer to get better, a learning experience.
Read: The Underground Man by Ross Macdonald ★★★★☆ 📚
Two deer–a doe and a fawn–came down the slope in a dry creek channel, heading for the grove. They saw me and rocking-horsed over a fallen log into the trees.
