I think I’ve found a way to articulate the discomfort I’m feeling in my work:

  • I’m passionate about journalists, who are generally a good, passionate bunch
  • I’m less passionate about the journalism industry, and the serious number of structural issues it’s unwilling to address.

Millennials are hated for being defiantly uncool

“From the 1970s to the end of the 1990s young people were allowed just two modes of expression: irony and smoking.”

Credibility hacking. 🤦🏼‍♂️

It turns out that our local church uses some rather dated tech…

Hmmm. Does anyone have any idea why my micro.blog site wouldn’t pick up an analytics code put in the Footer section of ->Design? It seems to have stopped working when I installed one of @cdevroe’s themes. 😕

Always worth taking time out to feed our feathered friends.
