Excited and intrigued to see the return of Digg. https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/05/kevin-rose-and-alexis-ohanian-acquire-digg/

I hope it manages to somehow hook into the Fediverse natively.

@webaware @jordesign ooh - never seen The Conversation. Adding it to my watch list.

Damn. Gene Hackman.

I know there's more critically acclaimed films - but these favourites of mine now need a rewatch soon.

* The French Connection
* Enemy of the State
* Royal Tenebaums
* Mississipi Burning

Why do we talk about walled gardens?

That implies something beautiful, something worth defending.

It conjures images of beautifully maintained flowerbeds protected from the outside world.

But that’s not what Facebook built, what Instagram built, what Twitter built.

They built paved, unshaded, barren hellscapes, trapped us in them, and surrounded us with guard towers and razor wire, intended to keep us in, not protect us from anyone else.

There's no "garden" here.

Some days I miss Pandora.com (discontinued in Australia many years ago). I just want to pick a single track and be taken on a journey of un/related sounding music...

@wallamba My hope is to one day build a WordPress based solution (as the ActivityPub plugin will activate federation and webmentions) that also allows for a quick and easy setup to just *start* without having to worry about it too much.

The Internet is mostly shit these days, but every once in a great while I stumble across an incredible, passion-project website.

This one is hand-animated weird art and it is worth your time as a fun decompressing thing in between your doomscrolling sessions.

I don't even know what hashtags this deserves, so it's not getting any. Boost to your friends!

Starting today - I'm going to be listening my way through @jjjplays.bsky.social Hottest 100. Starting with 1993....

"The trap ... that people have fallen into is the idea that these platforms are the ONLY way to get further: to sell, to advertise, to be seen. You trade convenience and a "free" app for the ensnarement and caging of your creativity." - @nazhamid

This is called a “hard stare.” It’s for when someone has forgotten their manners - or is tearing apart a 200 year old democracy in service of white supremacy.

The worst part of the Super Bowl is when the captain of the losing team is killed and his skin used to make next year's football.

Don't ever be a dick to other people online, but especially don't be a dick right now. Myself and everyone I know are barely keeping our shit together as our country is taken over by fascists.

Beyond excited that Guy Montgomery's Guy MontSpelling Bee NZ is available to stream in Australia now.

@Jeffro @otto42 I get the impression they had some copyright claims - so had to obsfucate some of it. I found the same thing - watched the whole thing, but then blurred when I came back to it.

This video mashup/megamix of live acts on Saturday Night Live is utter joy. Lovingly put together by @questlove.bsky.social #snl #livemusic

@kottke I love it when they break. You see the utter joy they get from making each other laugh.
