A good sign that it’s time to do the laundry is the fact that the only shirt I have left to wear is for an expired domain name idea that now likely leads to a p0rn site of some sort.
I’m saddened by how much of search is driven by commerce. I also want businesses - especially small businesses - to be able to sell their products and services to people looking for them. So I’m torn, nor do I have an answer. End toot.

I always forget what’s new in macOS. This list is a good starter on what I’m forgetting to use.
Using Micro.Blog to Tweet Without Having to Get Sucked Into Twitter Drama
While reading @davatron5000’s recent Vibe Check, he mentions uninstalling Twitter for iOS as a way of avoiding temptation to get pulled in to the drama & arguments:
All the Web3 hype (as well as Politics Twitter) actually made me uninstall Twitter from my iPad and iPhone… and I kind of love it. I’m unplugged from the outrage machine and it’s much quieter. Stomping the urge to reinstall the app or log in from Mobile Safari for some dumb tweet is the hardest part, but I’m so far successful.
Which reminded me of how I (think I?) had set up Micro.blog as a way of posting to Twitter without having to actually open up Twitter. Might have to revisit this over the winter when I’m more likely to lay on the couch and mindlessly scroll Twitter instead of doing something moderately more productive with my time.
I’m not too drawn into politics or the outrage machine - for me it’s the social validation and interactions of posting a good tweet or photo, and then hoping for likes or replies.
Now let’s see where this post ends up. :)
I’ve been enjoying Mini Motorways so much, I recorded a very dry play through review type thing and posted it on YouTube.
