They actually already had a copy of one of the books I was going to leave! Left some others while walking the dog.

A gut-wrenching episode to be sure. It took me several attempts to make it through. Definitely an example where art has a place in helping to shape and change our lives.
@manton, I’m not sure if anyone would have thought to ask or do such a thing, but does micro.blog provide users any feeds (RSS, JSON, etc.) of the sites the’re subscribed to for reading in a reader that isn’t necessarily micro.blog’s primary interface?
I ask because I’m curious about the ease of maintaining contacts if one wanted a different reader experience, were to leave micro.blog, or simply wanted to transfer from following 100s within micro.blog to follow them using other interfaces?
Any thoughts perhaps of providing an exportable OPML file for making functionality like this easier? Or for taking an OPML file and putting it into a feed reader that supports subscribing to OPML files?
📺 Meet the Press: January 13, 2019 | S71 E7115 | NBC

Somewhat interesting to note that the source for the web page for this episode includes the non-standardized meta data
"sameAs":"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103396/". This feels reminiscent of the function of the microformats for u-syndication or rel-syndication which gives the folks at the network a trail to the copy of the data for the episode that they likely syndicated to imdb.com so that it’s findable there. Sadly, the URL link incorrectly points to a page for Dateline, so I’m not sure if their data is pointing to the right place, though it appears that the data for the episode on imdb.com is correct for this episode. It would also be nice if they were using the correct markup so that web parsers and crawlers would pick up the data properly.

Interesting to read this while thinking about policy and government and some recent works of Francis Fukuyama all amidst the backdrop of the me too movement.
Odd that in a society that still has and can value words, that no one practices religion. References to the object of a cross that apparently no one remembers anymore.
Interesting themes on the importance of art and remembering developing.
📺 "Tidying Up with Marie Kondo" The Downsizers | Netflix
A couple from Michigan moved from a 4 bedroom into a 2 bedroom apartment in Los Angeles.
This was at least a fun family to watch.

These episodes don’t really do a very good job of selling the stronger ideas in her books. They’re vaguely entertaining, but could be much more content rich, particularly with the outlines and details she’s got in her source material. The problem is compounded by the fact that the families they’re featuring aren’t really that interesting or watchable.
