I am very much liking the location / check in feature on the micro.social app. It has given me some ideas that are not so much about ‘checkins’ - but are related to ‘location’. Thank you.
There is an odd issue though @manton @gregmorris - any thoughts?
🖇️ In this post I noticed that the image used in the post is duplicated with two different file names in the media library.
The post itself uses the second image - so where has the first image come from and why?
Pretty sure this is happening because of the micro.social app - since this behaviour is also on the other post which came via micro.social using location.
Writing a long post and for some reason was doing it in the micro blog app … which just crashed. My heart stopped. Slowly and gently reopened - and thankfully it was there. Immediately copied and pasted it to Drafts that hasn’t crashed once for years - and that is an app that is just open all the time. Thank you @Agiletortoise
I finally looked at my nest egg and was shocked to see the new number. Even worse that the dollars in the account will buy even less as US currency loses its value as the flight to safety currency. It’s not a big surprise as the US behaves like a drunk Dunning-Kruger schoolyard bully. What is amazing, if you think about it, is that we aren’t having an emergency impeachment and trial to get him out of there.

A brand new 🔗🎵 Album Whale List that is three times as large as my 2nd largest list.
The Tinted Rose. ð
Talking of excellent beverages ⦠The Tinted Rose is just down the road from PPO. Smaller, more subtle. Beer choice not extensive - but great cocktails and an excellent wine list. maps.apple.com
Hotel Ponsonby. ð
Stunning building known locally as The Ponsonby Post Office .. which is what it was - before its recent transition to The Ponsonby Hotel - which is called that by nobody. Through those hallowed doors can be found excellent beverages from the âHopsâ family. maps.apple.com

Life, Death And Dennis Hopper by The Waterboys
ALWAYS loved The Waterboys. This made me sit up - an entire album dedicated to Dennis Hopper - where the music itself moves through the years of Hopper’s life.
Back in January …
🔗🎵Announcing “Life, Death, and Dennis Hopper” from The Waterboys | Sun Records
The announcement wasn’t very clear …
“Life, Death, and Dennis Hopper” releases from The Waterboys on April 4th.
Today is the 4th. Not here. I guess it will be tomorrow - when it is the 4th in America.

The List of Posts that start on AlbumWhale
I’ve started a new AlbumWhale list (and I haven’t even finished the others! Still.) The new list is called ‘Formative Years’ …
I’m an ‘artist’ guy, then an ‘album’ guy and then a singles/track guy. I like my music ‘in context’ The lists in here are way behind what I see in my mind’s eye - BUT the topics provide a clue to how I relate them all.
This new list is all about albums that ‘formed me’ and contributed to the music world I am today. At the time I might not have recognised it - but in the rear view mirror - absolutely.
First Up: Odessey and Oracle By The Zombies
Joined the waitlist.
We are told that AI will assist us, that platforms will adapt to us, and that services will respect what we want. But we are not being asked what we want. We are being modeled, approximated, and acted upon. Once that system achieves high enough fidelity and the simulation of our intent is “good enough,” our actual presence becomes redundant.
This is not empowerment. It is erosion.
