I follow the river of news approach for RSS feeds. I have done for twenty-plus years. I ignore unread counts. On the other hand, there are few RSS feeds where I do want to read every one that comes in. I use folders to separate the must-read streams from the high-volume, read-whenever feeds.
I don’t follow podcasts on proprietary platforms like YouTube and Spotify. That’s not out of principle. I just don’t bother with it. For 95% of my podcasts, I listen rather than watch and I do it in Overcast. Why fuss with another app?
There’s something odd-looking about that second donkey.

Why telcos shouldn’t fear an AI apocalypse — yet. AI doomer hype is surging, but telcos shouldn’t expect catastrophic change to OSS/BSS modernization. My latest on Fierce Network.
Voter ID isn't designed to protect voting. It's designed to steal elections.
Voter ID is a scam to disenfranchise millions of voters. The conservative Heritage Foundation, one of the biggest backers of the SAVE Act, which requires proof of citizenship to vote, claims voter fraud is a major issue. But in the groups own records, there have been 68 documented cases of residents casting a ballot in a US election since the 1980s.
That’s just 68 over the past 40 years — a fraud rate of 0.0001%.
The SAVE Act would require a passport or Real ID to vote, both of which cost money. It’s a poll tax, meant to punish people who can’t afford to pay.
Trump would like the government he leads to pay him billions. Staggering corruption: Trump is suing the US government for billions of dollars as a result of the criminal investigations against him, and Trump and his cronies — including Pam Bondi — will decide how much he gets.
MAGA’s “People’s Capitalism”: An Alliance of Bourgeoisie and Mob. Corrupt family-owned businesses that support Trump reap billions from ICE’s terror campaign, along with a “reactionary fraction of the tech sector…. It’s the mob from top to bottom.”
