@MitchWagner Still not sure why you did the two blog thing as opposed to hist using categories?
@manton There were a large number of 20 ish ‘kids’ who wanted nothing to do with the internet in the mid 90s … it ‘is the way’
In some ways this seems to relate to 🖇️ this

Peaky Blinders (2013-2022) - andrei.xyz - it’s another review - but highlighting it here because Andrei is also calling out a Peaky movie - due in a couple of months?
@manton yes .. I have a similar category .. originally created based on ‘title/no title’ … the curation is the problem —- new stuff is fine .. it’s the archive 😣 and that’s what got me to thinking how might you manage the aggregation?
@manton I am a big fan of the RSS feed for LongForm .. got me to wondering how you automatically make that feed. If just ‘does it have a title’ .. to my mind won’t work well … I have a lot of my posts with titles on my blog that I would not want to include in my ‘long read’ feed because they are just letterbox Reviews that come in automatically with a title. Nor do I want to include a title feed that has posts with a title .. and one line in the body .. etc etc .. have you had any thoughts as to how you are going to manage it?
for example .. on my list I have a new category that I have been thinking about implementing … ‘one liners’ (let’s call it the UnLongRead) … still not cracked what I mean exactly … that I can then codify to run a script to add the category. It’s hard.
@derekpeden maybe they meant ‘e-lite’❓
@derekpeden yup
@bradenslen so of course I had to go look it up
Maurice Grey, a Dijon mustard-maker, invented a steam-powered mill in the 1850s that finely ground mustard seeds, earning a royal award by 1860. Short on funds to scale production, he partnered in 1866 with fellow moutardier Auguste Poupon, who provided financing; they named the company Grey-Poupon.
@bradenslen taking of which
Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We’re finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.
@bradenslen fully agree .. even more appropriate when understanding its genesis … my point being only that 60 years later it is a lot lot worse than the lyrics might suggest .. consider the impact of Kent State (different song) .. today .. it would be but a blip.
@elithebearded and then there is also this
@elithebearded .. but not on the tips of tongues as they were a hundred years ago.
original lyrics of the Cher song .. it just didn’t scan correctly ..hence the switch to ‘Gypsies’
Yeggs, tramps, and thieves
We’d hear it from the people of the town
They’d call us yeggs, tramps, and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down
@elithebearded with the Pinkertons.
@bradenslen Why is grey poupon not called yellow poupon?
