Apparently it’s #caturday. Rules are rules.

This is Foxer (8 months old at the time), from back in late September, sitting out on the back deck with us. He is not thrilled about it being winter now.

Alright! All you bad influences have persuaded me, so behold: the new https://anildash.com/ Lots of shit is still broken, and I still have a decade and a half of archives to restore. But it should be pretty fast and look decent. Let me know what I screwed up.

Hello people of the Fediverse! Some of you may have heard that a new Mastodon client, Ivory,  is in development for iOS (and Mac!). This is true! Tapbots is going all in on Mastodon and we hope this place continues to grow and thrive. Tweetbot will continue to be developed alongside Ivory as a lot of code is shared. A new Mac version of Tweetbot and Ivory are also currently in development and we are working hard on getting those towards a public beta state.

I do not like that site of birds
I do not like its awful words

I do not like what it became
I do not like its cult of shame

I do not like intrusive ads
I do not like the vapid fads

I do not like the clout it’s given
I do not like its algorithm

But I shall miss that weird bird town
I do not like it burning down

I've been spending all of a lazy Saturday tinkering off and on with completely redoing my blog (including... making my own template for it?!) and it's still as fun as it was 20+ years ago. Feels good, man.

I think all Mastodon client apps should at least have the option to resume reading your timeline from the last place you left off. A surprising number of them seem not to. Some don’t even preserve your position when tapping “load more” or similar when some posts are missing above your current position.

Andor was so good. It’s such a great atmospheric kind of show that just sort of washes over you if you let it and feels somehow real and present in the moments. Art.

Andor is the best show of the year, and not just in Star Wars media, in all television. #andor

I of course always want to be elevating the conversation about media and information ecosystems, but also I’ve been waiting for an excuse for this fit.

The flight of NASA's Artemis (purple) uses two very close encounters with the moon's gravity (green) to changes its trajectory to get back to the earth (blue.) Amazing.
