📺 "Bosch" Pill Shills | Amazon Prime
Directed by Alex Zakrzewski. With Titus Welliver, Jamie Hector, Amy Aquino, Madison Lintz. Detective Harry Bosch swings by the DA's office under the pretense of seeing Maddie. He encounters CIU Investigator Christina Henry who is spearheading the Borders petition based on a deathbed confession from another convict, Lucas Olmer.

👓 On planets and reading lists | Malcolm Blaney
Malcolm Blaney (unicyclic.com)This is going to be a long one, so the short version is summed up in this screenshot: That's from the top of this page: unicyclic.com/indieweb, which is a feed combined from different sources, commonly referred to as a planet. Up until now I've been adding new feeds to that page as people join th...

Fascinating story…
Jim Groom is a co-founder of Reclaim Hosting, and an early architect of the Domain of One's Own Initiative at University of Mary Washington.
A very solid hour-long talk about A Domain of One’s Own, some of what it entails, and how it can be used to empower teaching, learning, and reflecting on learning.
👓 Extending www.jvt.me to allow for other post types | jvt.me
Welcome to my first https://indieweb.org/note! Notes are short-form content that will be purely plain text (for now!) and are similar to tweets on Twitter or toots on Mastodon, but won't be size limited.
This is some cool news.
As side notes: I’ll have to look at the mark up and my parser which seems to pick up nothing from Jamie’s pages. I also note the footer uses a different font for the LinkedIn link?
🎧 Episode 044 – Makerspaces and Alex Trebek | Media and the End of the World Podcast
Adam returns from a NSF-funded workshop on makerspaces. Adam and Ralph also discuss the recent sad news of Alex Trebek.
I love their conversations together. I love Ralph’s view on media and find that it seems like we have similar takes (though his is obviously more academic than mine) and are consuming a lot of the same sources including quirky ones that include the history of photos of dead people.

🎧 Episode 045 – Tania Rashid, Global identity and becoming a “one-woman-shop” in journalism | Media and the End of the World Podcast
Ralph chats with Tania Rashid, a freelance journalist in South Asia. I’ve produced and hosted for Al Jazeera English, CNN International, and Vice News.
I love Rashid’s take on modern journalism, particularly getting rid of words like “fixer”. There’s an excellent reminder here that I need to broaden some of my news consumption to take a more international approach. I loved that they asked her the question about what sources she reads/watches/listens to.
