  • The other day, I was remembering the mid-2000s, when I enjoyed reading blogs–even had one, for a while–and getting news through a RSS reader instead of someone’s algorithm or even browsing site front pages. Then I remembered: that stuff’s all still out there. Glad I remembered.

  • Sure, I’ll give this thing a try.
