Read a post by Greg McVerryGreg McVerry (INTERTEXTrEVOLUTION)
Here is a video describing the power of webmentions in #edu5222. My students are amazed that they do all their learning from their own domain but their replies show up on each other’s post and our rss feed magically slurps up everything they write. One thing to note you don’t need a reply post-kind for your webmention to work. You can just mention somebody’s url in you post or or link to a specific page or post on their website in any post-kind at it will work as well.

👓 The Language of Gutenberg | WordPress

Read The Language of Gutenberg (WordPress)
At the core of Gutenberg lies the concept of the block.

👓 Everything bad about Facebook is bad for the same reason | Wired

Read Everything bad about Facebook is bad for the same reason by Nikhil Sonnad (Quartz)
The philosophy of Hannah Arendt points to the banal evil beneath Facebook's many mistakes.
We definitely need some humanity and morality in our present mess. More and more I really want to rage quit Facebook for what it’s doing to the world, but I would like to have all my friends and family follow me.

Directed by Dominic Keavey. With Pip Torrens, Stirling Gallacher, Holly Earl, Jamie Glover. A radioactive girl is missing and only Father Brown can find the responsible for her disappearance.

An interesting take, I want to think about this for a bit…
