May feels very late in the year for it to finally be hot enough to switch to warm-weather units.

I'm doing some work in FeedThing to patch up some commonly seen funkiness in feed presentation. So for the first time in years I’ve loaded up some other RSS readers to see how they are coping. For the most part I think FeedThing stacks up well.
Two things really struck me though:
1. Three-pane readers feel very much like email, and I thought everyone hated email?
2. Displaying media served as enclosures is not universal, so Mastodon feeds can look very bare.

Please vote. And while you’re there, check out the provenance of the retro-cool posters.
“The print code on some of the older posters indicates that they were produced for General Elections many years ago. The cluster of tiny numbers printed at the foot of the signs, typically “500M/9/55” indicates in this example that half a million copies were produced in September 1955. Check your local signs to see when they were printed – they may be older than you.”

How can it possibly be 20 years since A Night at the Hip-Hopera? The best mash-up album. Never beaten.

I enjoyed the latest #DrWho episode. It was vibes over logic, but deftly done. I did not enjoy the pretty brutal and unnecessarily crass treatment of adoption, something the show had handled well up to this point.

What more relaxing way is there to spend bank holiday Monday than re-learning how to use App Store Connect to issue a minor update to the app you wrote for your wife’s business?
