I made a post on Sunday, and it triggered a nice stream of comments from people on micro.blog, all of which appeared as comments on my post. Cool! It looks like the webmention support on both ends is working well. As another step in WordPress/micro.blog integration, I am adding my comments RSS feed ...

👓 Gutenberg | Colin Devroe
I’m writing this post using a new post editor that is coming in the next version of WordPress code-named, and likely named for all-time, Gutenberg.
In fact, I’ve written several of my most recent posts, including this photo post of South Iceland, using this new editor.
Gutenberg is an editor that allows a WordPress author to use an interface for writing that is much more akin to using Google Docs or Microsoft Word. You type, drag images, add headlines and quotes, and all other various things using a much more visual way of editing than previous versions of WordPress had with what is now being called the “Classic Editor”.

👓 nPOV | nLab
Wikipedia enforces its entries to adopt an NPOV – a neutral point of view . This is appropriate for an encyclopedia.
However, the nLab is not Wikipedia, nor is it an encyclopedia, although it does aspire to provide a useful reference in many areas (among its other purposes). In particular, the nLab has a particular point of view, which we may call the nPOV or the n- categorical point of view .
To some extent the nPOV is just the observation that category theory and higher category theory, hence in particular of homotopy theory, have a plethora of useful applications.

Journalists have become complicit in spreading the president’s falsehoods and conspiracy theories. Here’s how they can do better.
Either George Lakoff has gotten himself a great publicist, or journalists are starting to get wise to his message and spread it far and wide. This has to be the second or third article about some of his ideas I’ve seen in as many days.
👓 Hyde-Smith Demanded No Audience, No Press for Tonight’s Debate | Jackson Free Press
U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith demanded there be no audience or outside press allowed at tonight’s U.S. Senate debate and requested other restrictions, a source familiar with the debate negotiations told the Jackson Free Press Tuesday morning.
One wonders if an intern at the paper might have tried to re-title this article Hyde & Seek Demanded No Audience, No Press for Tonight’s Debate instead?
👓 Don’t let your online strategy become a conversation about which LMS to use | homonym.ca
Tannis Morgan (Explorations in the EdTech World)Here’s the short of it. LMS’s do some things really well and are not going to go away. We still use an LMS at our institution, and while I would really like the vendor to invest some of our hard earned license fees into making it a more user friendly tool, we still need an LMS. However, I’ve tried really hard to make sure our online strategy does not start and finish with the LMS, and yes, it is an ongoing battle.
