“The logical end of mechanical progress is to reduce the human being to something resembling a brain in a bottle.

… start referring to the same thing (I’m talkin’ markdown:source) I do get excited - which is odd cos I’m not sure how it’s going to impact me - but I have trust.
Now if they could all start talking about that thing where you write a post - and it goes out on RSS - and then you change it and RSS does nothing - except in WordLand - now that would tickle my fancy enormously if that happened when I did that on Micro.Blog and Blot.
Dear Siri … I wrote ‘mega’ … M-E-G-A … please do not - ever - EVER AGAIN - change the ‘E’ to an ‘A’ … NOT COOL.
President attacking you? Change your name - that will fix everything.

I see the Torygraph continues to move in lockstep with the general move of the right wing to the far right wing.

Well hello … they are Scott - they are
Just dropping this here that will ricochet across the interwebs like a damp squib. So why? Because there has been a back end change to how RSS is working on Micro.Blog … so I can see what has changed in my RSS FEED where I check this stuff . I am expecting nothing except maybe this.

I did watch 🎬 One Battle After Another - and it was absolutely marvelous. I do my reviews on Lettrboxd which get pulled to my blog - not sure yet how top connect all that with all this new stuff on micro.blog to create a seamless experience - so until then .. you can get to the review here.

I didn’t know what to expect .. I knew of the movie, director and of course Sean, Leo and Benicio .. but hell fire … did not expect this. Absolutely marvellous. Remember when UK PM Starmer said that the Netflix show ‘Adolesence’ should be played in all schools so that every school kid gets to see it?
Yeah - every American should watch this.
Oh - and definitely

I read this over on Gaping Void and thought wait - there’s a much older - more famous story - so I found it for you - so you didn’t have to.
