Things are going well on Red Book.

I imported photos and videos into my Google Photos account. All of the text data that goes with it is there now too. So it's all searchable that way now (which is already better than Facebook has ever been for search). I'd look at an app like Obsidian or Notion to make a searchable database for text

Then we'll still go to Red Note/Xiaohongshu. Because... Well, we're all here aren't we 🤣

Meta apps: Bad algorithms for olds.

Reddit: Incels and edgelords with too much AI.

Tumblr: Was fun once, now is overwhelmed with AI.

Twitter/X: Fascist Summer Camp 24/7/365.

Mastodon: Not intuitive enough.

TikTok: About to disappear.

Bluesky: Too artificial despite absence of AI.

A ★★★★★ review of Tokyo Story (1953) Oh damn. There are moments here that are pure joy and so expressive and then others that absolutely crush your heart to pulp. Exquisite feels accurate for this. LAST: 8 1/2 (1963, dir. Frederico Felli...

I've become obsessed with this series. A great watch if you enjoy travel shows like The Amazing Race, but always felt it could use a rougelike component. It works really well.

JK Rowling Falsely Claims "There Are No Trans Kids" The children's book author and anti-trans activist has increasingly denied the existence of transgender people.

1. On Saturday, JK Rowling falsely claimed that "there are no trans kids."

Her disinformation about the existence of trans people was viewed millions of times.

She also previously falsely claimed trans people weren't targeted in the Holocaust.

That sounds perfect for my travel playlist. Looking for it right now.

I think I'm more familiar with Wham! than his solo stuff. Definitely time to fix that.

A man of the people. Hell yeah.

I'm VERY late to the George Michael show. I'm gonna have to do a deep dive now. Especially since he's among the pantheon of great gay artists.

As someone with a signed (and doodled on) Harris Dickinson poster in my home, I will not be getting over this anytime soon.

I really need to get around to Gallipoli and The Mosquito Coast so I can finish up my Peter Weir canon. Because every one I've seen is a stone cold classic.

I had no idea...
