Bask in the glow


Instapaper feels truly dead. Where are people going for read later services?

My main use case is filtering my RSS feeds to a place that’s not an open browser tab. Android + Web is ideal. I’m on Mac/Ubuntu most of the time.

I don’t care for Pocket’s focus on sharing but it’s fine.

I want a place to throw articles to then read later.

I’m looking forward to Readwise’s Reader when it gets released. Matter is iOS only.

Pinboard? Wallabag?

๐Ÿ“บ The new season of Succession is making me forget what I enjoyed about the last season of Succession.

๐Ÿ“บ Maid (Netflix)

It was 10 episodes of a good cry. Very powerful and superbly acted.

๐Ÿ“บ Maid is incredibly good but hard to watch television. I am completely hooked on this story.

The Righteous Gemstones is a work of art. The second season is shaping up to be absolutely incredible. ๐Ÿ“บ

What Your Favorite Sad Dad Band Says About You - McSweeneyโ€™s Internet Tendency

Bon Iver Perhaps the most accurate term to apply to your situation is โ€œseriously injured and lost in the woods.โ€

I don’t know how to break it to my wife…

The white on white text is exciting. Is there a setting I can toggle?

Hello from Micro.blog for Android! www.manton.org/2022/01/1…

Good Evening ๐ŸฆŒ

I tell him, “My last boyfriend was a guy named Carl, and-” “Tm sorry, Carl?” “Look, they can’t all be sexy Sophie names,”

So my wife just burst into laughter at her book. And I asked why so she reads to me what she just read, between fits of giggles.

I, Carl, feel attacked. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Welcome to Maryland.

It was 60 degrees yesterday. Today we got 6" of snow.

Finished reading: The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers ๐Ÿ“š

Tossing piles of words from dusty local directories into Tiddlywiki.

There’s a beautiful snow falling and it’s very hard to think about work rather than watch the birds gather around my feeder.

Bright red cardinals in snow-covered pine trees are my current love.

“NFTs are beanie babies.” โ€”My wife

Context: We were talking about the beanie baby craze and if she would recognize if it happened again. Then said IT’S NFTs!

๐ŸŽฎ Fallen hard for Craftopia.

An early access game on Xbox.

It’s Breath of the Wild meets Minecraft.

Open world crafting, building, hack and slash. It may be the most perfect game I’ve ever played. It’s early still but there’s so much to love!

๐Ÿ“บ Star Trek: Discovery has been comfort food at the end of this year. It’s warm, uplifting, relentlessly positive stories are what I need.

It’s a police procedural. In space.

There’s a problem. A crew of hard working, brilliant people put their heads together to find a solution.

Merry Christmas! ๐ŸŽ„

My wife took a series of things we had in the house and made a delicious breakfast bake.

Add a little ice cream. Chef’s kiss

Merry Christmas Eve! May it be filled with warmth and satisfaction.

Unless you’re upside down, then may or be cool and the ‘Roos peaceful.

Brass Against.

A cover(?) band that plays Tool, Deftones, Rage Against the Machine tracks.

Learned of them from their cover at the end of Matrix: Resurrection.

I don’t know what to do with this info so I’m sharing it.

I’m really curious if by Christmas 2022 if we’re still talking about NFTs and if everything from pro sports teams to major video game studios are making deals.

Or if they’ll be a weird footnote in internet history.

Finished reading: The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune ๐Ÿ“š

Absolutely lovely book. My wife read and loved it. I saw this snippet and it sold me.

Looking for a simple Linux app to resize images this morning and found this. Do it right from the file manager, perfect! Resize Images with Right Click on Ubuntu and Other Linux Distributions

My productivity system today can be described as:

0/10 Would not recommend.

Some guides will have conflicting info because there’s often more than one correct way to do things, and if you get 10 experienced IT folk in a room you’ll have 15 different ways to do things between them. A few of them will even be correct!

This gets to the core of asking how to do anything.
