Closed all tabs in the browser on my phone. Over 40+ unread articles. Accumulated over the past 2 months. Should I not have read it right away if they were that interesting! I purge the tabs whenever the number goes up above 20. In addition to slowly working my way through my TBR list, work and life, I've to stop myself from saving tabs of unread articles. I follow some decent blogs and websites that publish quality content @bookstodon how do you guys deal with this? #read #books #blogs

5⭐ Medieval City Walls, York UK
trailspotting.com/2025/03/medi

The City of York is a showcase of two millennia of British history, with every era leaving its mark. From its Roman origins in AD 77 to the Viking invaders of the 9th century, and the riches and squalor of the Middle Ages. Every period has contributed to the York's rich historical tapestry, which is evident throughout this northern town.

The image shows Mickelgate Bar, a historic stone gatehouse in York. It features two cylindrical towers and several coats of arms displayed on its facade. The structure is part of a larger stone wall and is flanked by older brick buildings on either side. The sky is clear with a few clouds, highlighting the well-preserved medieval architecture of the gatehouse.
The image shows a picturesque view of York Minster, a large Gothic cathedral in York, England. The cathedral dominates the background with its intricate architecture, including tall spires and a central tower. In the foreground, there are charming red-brick buildings with well-maintained gardens and outdoor seating areas. The sky is bright blue with scattered clouds, adding to the overall beauty and serenity of the scene.
The image is a split view showing two different scenes related to the City of York. The left side of the image shows a close-up of a metal gate with a circular emblem that reads 'CITY OF YORK' in white letters on a red background. The emblem features a white rose in the center, which is a symbol associated with the city. The right side of the image depicts a section of the ancient city walls of York. The walls are made of stone and have a series of supporting buttresses. There is a grassy area alongside the walls, and trees can be seen in the background under a blue sky with scattered clouds.
On the left side, there's a close-up of a circular metal marker embedded in the ground. The design features a castle with a cross in the middle. The right side displays a small stone structure resembling a castle or fortification, complete with an arched entrance and steps leading up to it. The lush greenery surrounding it adds to its charm.

I don't wanna be "old man on the internet" BUT RSS feeds are great for project updates, blogs, newsletters, and stuff like that. We really should all band together and use them widely. Make it a thing that everyone does. I don't want to hand my email out to everyone and clutter up my inbox. I don't want to have to remember to check your page every day for updates, and I don't have the time for all that either.

If what you are doing is about getting the word out or talking about whatever you're passion is or having whatever you create out there to actually be seen by real people, to be useful or interesting to them, put it in a feed. If you are just using the content for engagement farming or bringing clicks to your page or to get eyes on ads, then I really don't want to read it anyway I guess.

"A vast, decentralized network of personal #blogs, #forums, and independent #communities has been corralled into a handful of paved #prisonyards controlled by a few massive corporations.

The fediverse is a #jailbreak. It’s not something you can buy stock in or use to enrich yourself at the cost of our shared humanity."

Where your social graph belongs to you, not an algorithm’s shifting fucking whims.

Cool blog post on Leaded Solder (one of my favorite blogs), where they make a space shooting game with Nintendo Family BASIC on the Famicom.

From unboxing to programming to the finished video of the game on YouTube, everything is carefully pictured, linked and documented-- an amazing post that really shows why I dig this blog so much.

Ja, ich mag #Bücher. Aber ich finde auch #Blogs, #Podcasts, #Musik & #Filme relevant!

Und zu dieser humorvollen Weisheit vom Postillon möchte ich nun doch nerden:

In der sehenswerten Netflix-Miniserie "Zero Day" mit Robert De Niro spielen Frage & Song "Who killed Bambi?" eine große und mehrdeutige Rolle.
