An audio history of the civil rights movement in five Southern communities and the music of those times.
Biewen referenced this at the end of one of his episodes. Could be worth digging up, but looks like I’ll have to order a copy.

This looks like a cool set up for creating an advanced IndieWeb version of a commonplace book/personal website.
Social reading and reviewing, decentralized with ActivityPub - mouse-reeve/fedireads
I love seeing more activity in the reading space for IndieWeb!
A cute web game via bookmarklet that let’s you use various ships to blow up websites.
Follow people the way that they'd want you to.
Jacky has built a cool little tool here. It looks like it’s keyed off of rel=”me”, so the word “intended” is carrying some extra weight. I have rel-mes on my site, but I’d prefer people followed my site directly and not my social silos.
Cory Doctorow (Electronic Frontier Foundation)The Gopher story is a perfect case history for Adversarial Interoperability. The pre-Gopher information landscape was dominated by companies, departments, and individuals who were disinterested in giving users control over their own computing experience and who viewed computing as something that took place in a shared lab space, not in your home or dorm room.
Rather than pursuing an argument with these self-appointed Lords of Computing, the Gopher team simply went around them, interconnecting to their services without asking for permission. They didn't take data they weren't supposed to have—but they did make it much easier for the services' nominal users to actually access them.
A tool to analyze Twitter accounts.
Luca Hammer (opml.glitch.me)Get websites and RSS Feeds of the people you follow on Twitter. Import the OPML-file with your favorite feedreader.
I love nothing more than OPML related tools! I just finished exporting all of my YouTube subscriptions the other day, now I can get the RSS feeds from the websites of all the people I’m following on Twitter?! This is awesome. I’ll need to work out how I might be able to import it all into my following page.
As I look at this wonderful little app, I can’t help but think at how nice it might be if they added the SubToMe universal following button for these. I haven’t looked in a while, but it’s possible that the Feed.ly integration for SubToMe needed a tweak to get it working again.

A curious example of what can happen with misplaced microformats. The clown yelling portion is still one of my favorites.
wait so… a bot/spammer reposts article as reply to the article… then zach’s sentiment analysis flags his own words as negative (!?) and renders them as “clown yelling”… but oops microformats, so google indexes w/ the clown-yelling instead of the post? https://t.co/reMcoc8KpC
