Nostr mobile is great. You guys have slayed it. Desktop though... Yikes. We need some native clients.

Is there any way that, through #Coracle , I can disable replies showing in the main feed? I really like it and want to continue using it.

Turning on a ball game and hearing a Bob Costas call is like running into that neighbor you generally try to avoid. #MLB

I pray for all involved, but also note that we often forget about the Palestinian Christians, who have been caught between hammer and anvil for more years than I’ve been on this planet. Many civilians have already died, and many more are about to die — and both sides are morally culpable. There are no heroes in this conflict. It enflames every few years and people die, then the cycle repeats itself after we in the West go on with our lives. It’s all a great and perpetual sadness. I see no end to the cycle after this. Hamas will rebuild, and then we (mostly) detached onlookers will have the same conversation a few years from now. This isn’t even the fourth rodeo for most of us who have been on the Internet for 30 years. Some of you are old enough to know what I’m talking about. Putting on the I-come-from-a-military-family hat for just a moment, however: is there anything different about this one? Not with regard to short-term outcome: a lot of Palestinians are about to die. In the long term, however, perhaps Hamas’ actions will force Israel to re-evaluate the feasibility of colonization into Gaza, slowing growth. At the same time, given the tenacity Israel displays with regard to settling this region, I remain skeptical. Yet another reason this cycle is doomed to repeat itself, with no real solution in sight.

Accidentally scheduled for the delivery of a computer on my day off. Which isn’t a bad thing, except my whole office staff is off too, which means I’ll be waiting who knows how long for my gear.

A potential Men’s World Record unfolding at the Chicago Marathon. One of the reasons Chicago has seen so many World Records set: the weather for the race is almost always perfect. It’s 47 degrees and dry in the city, which is perfect running weather. One of my favorite jokes: “I used to run 10 miles a day. Can’t you tell?”

Morning folks! 48 degrees and rainy in the collar counties of Chicago, and all is well.

MLB Playoffs Round Predictions: Texas, Houston, Atlanta, Los Angeles. Hope I'm wrong with Astros/Dodgers.

Blessing of the animals. I made a new friend. Meet Dolly Llama.

Hate it when apps destroy my relay list.

Here's to hoping you have (or are having) a beautiful Saturday

The worst part about this one is that they're going to crown a winner. #Huskers #Illini

Nebraska vs. Illinois in the Battle of the Bad.

New hat. Like that old timey style, from before the Refball era.

Elon axed link card previews because he envisions a future state of the platform where links become unnecessary, since everything you’d want to see is already on “X.” This is dangerous, greedy, and ultimately stupid.

Cold, windy, rainy -- hoodie weather is here.

I really was hopeful that Bluesky would get it together, but let's face it: decentralization is just not a priority. It's Nostr or nothing.

Nostr is still the best.

Morning Nostr, hope you all have a blessed weekend!

Excited to see Oppenheimer Monday. We need movies like this. Something, anything other than cape crap and the regurgitated bowels of the 80's and 90's.
