It’s 2023 … and a vote to rejoin the EU is scheduled for 2036.

Why wait 13 more years to reverse the stupidity?

Because it’s going to take that long to get people into parliament that give a damn about the country.

If that’s not it … then what is?


📼 🔗 Micro.Blog Issue?

Does anyone else see this behaviour? I have posted the issue to help in the past, but it seems to get worse - not better. Am I an edge case? (The video is only a few seconds long.)


Well THAT was harder than it should have been!


🎛️🎙️ How will YOU be remembered?

I have been struggling with a newsletter recently. Unlike the podcast - it isn’t about suicide, but rather - how people are remembered after death. (If you know the movie Coco - it relates. If you think about tombstones - it relates.) The 30 second clip gets to the nub.

🎙️ The Case For Not Killing Yourself


Real-time can be a great thing.
But. BUT.
Global real-time is a non starter.


I'll tell you what I want.
What I really, really want

… my news readers to understand that I do not want the same news from so many sources over and over again. And yes, I have heard of Feedly.


🔗 Doc Searls : Outlining vs. Formatting

Not a new post - but highlights how the hijacking of language reaps confusion.


I am so conflicted. Do I side with Marge or Lauren? Can I agree with them both on this occasion?


A Suggestion to Improve The Micro,Blog UI?

Currently, the official Micro.Blog app has a permanent menu that sits at the bottom of the screen, like this.

There is a second menu that can be found by clicking on your user image, top left, that looks like this.

Suggestion … add the 4 choices in the first example to the second menu.

Why? So I have only one place to go to for all possible operations.

Bonus thought.

In settings, allow me to hide that bottom menu in user settings.

But isn’t that what a deal is?


Oh Starbucks. Really?

Is it my imagination or has the font and leading changed on the timeline in the official iOS app.


The temperatures are high, which goes to explain why the box stores seem to be packed with people whilst very few of them are at the checkout! So yes .. I get it. It’s HOT. But for heavens’s sake, a bikini? Aren’t you cold? And when you leave? It’s not as if we’re near a beach. #HowCivilizationEnds
