I focus on the things the web does that Bluesky doesn’t allow, spelled out at textcasting.org. But it goes the other way, Likes and RTs came after the web, valuable additions and imho should be supported across the board or should be passed along when present. vladcampos.com/2026/06/29/t...

Thank you so much for reading, commenting, and sharing the article's link. I love your content. Read it regularly via RSS 🤩. I don't see likes and RTs as harmful. IMHO it's what the algorithm does with those metrics that feeds the toxicity. But, I'm not an expert on the topic.

We need a president like Lincoln, FDR or JFK.

I prefer to do my middle of the night iPad writing sprees on Twitter instead of Bluesky because no character limit. No one is going to read the stuff on either platform, so why not go for ease of use for writing.

i organize my work in opml and have even taught claude.ai how to work with me in outlines. the general answer is btw that hierarchies are everywhere in computers and in our minds. you have a file system on your machine, this just gives you an editor that understands those structures. lots of uses.

😘 BTW, I was *just* tin in a thread that mentioned you, wondering why people need outliners. I said I use them whenever I need to figure out the structure of something I'm writing. With a shoutout to OPML. Thanks for your many gifts to us all, Dave.

Is there a Node package that will take a nice RSS feed and keep a standard.site site current?

I had a conversation with Claude.ai about standard.site, and how to connect from a WordLand-like product. claude.ai/share/f3bc67...

Remarkable that some people fondly miss Googles RSS reader app, already gone for over a decade. Remarkable because they captured the market, wiped out all competition (they deserved it, the products were awful) and then shut their own product down, leaving a toxic bomb crater in its place.

Better question would be what did education for our minds or was it just a big babysitting service until we matured enough to actually be useful in employment?

Instead we should reimagine education. What is its purpose, start there.
