- I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield#
- Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station#
- And the preacher said, you know you always have the Lord by your side#
- And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran#
- Twenty red lights in his honor#
- Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord#
- ...#
- I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late#
- And I thought by the time I got there she'd be off#
- She'd be off with the nearest truck driver she could find#
- Much to my surprise, there she was sittin' in the corner#
- A little bleary, worse for wear and tear#
- Was a girl with far away eyes#
- ...#
- So if you're down on your luck#
- And you can't harmonize#
- Find a girl with far away eyes#
- And if you're downright disgusted#
- And life ain't worth a dime#
- Get a girl with far away eyes#
- ...#
- Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send#
- Ten dollars to the church of the Sacred Bleeding Heart Of Jesus#
- Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California#
- And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio#
- And all my dreams would come true#
- So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl#
- Well, you know what kind of eyes she got, well I'll tell ya#
- ...#
- So if you're down on your luck#
- I know you all sympathize#
- Find a girl with far away eyes#
- And if you're downright disgusted#
- And life ain't worth a dime#
- Get a girl with far away eyes#
- ...#
- So if you're down on your luck#
- I know you all sympathize#

- In the next few days I'll open up a free, experimental service to find out if Twitter can peer with feed reader software like [NetNewsWire](https://netnewswire.com) and [Feedly](https://feedly.com/). #
- After you log in, our server will periodically read your new tweets and update a public RSS feed, on our server, that mirrors your tweets, so you and others can follow them in any feed reader. #
- One thing that's different from earlier approaches is that tweets can have titles, something that most feed readers like/insist on. And the feeds will be 2022-compliant, using modern techniques for the world we live in today, not the world of twenty years ago. #
- People keep looking for software to replace Twitter. I don't like that approach because systems with tens of millions of happy users don't get replaced, but they can foster new developments built on their strength and ubiquity. I respect and love Twitter. My software does too.#
- Come to think of it, Twitter and RSS have a lot in common. Both are roughly contemporary pioneering efforts on which today's social media and news worlds are built. #
- Both are a bit worse for wear and tear, to quote the Rolling Stones. But they're still here! We'll make love. Twitter and RSS all the way. #

- And the title contains Markdown syntax, which is now evaluated for titles too. #
- I don't see how Better Call Saul can have a happy ending for anyone. #
- Almost everyone is already dead, so that rules them out. #
- Is anything remotely like a happy ending available to Jimmy or Kim? #
- But it has to be one of the most creative endings ever considering how crazy creative the show has been up to now. #

- I've been working outside an office for over 30 years, except for a brief period when I had an office at Berkman. Because I had the office, I was able to get an experienced radio team (Lydon and McGrath) #
- to work with me on this idea I had for audio blogging (which became podcasting) and one of my colleagues suggested that blogging would work well with politics, which got the #
- bootstrap of political blogging going just in time for the 2004 presidential election. So -- having an office and using it is good. In my experience, things get created that way that otherwise wouldn't.#

It would be great if Merrick Garland got the same media team that did the Jan 6 hearings to work on making the case of Trump's criminality to the public. That's really where the trial will take place, where the future of the country will be decided. #
- TweetFeed is a free, experimental service to find out if Twitter can peer with feed reader software. #
- TweetFeed folds threads into a single feed item.#
- TweetFeed understands Markdown, so you can add styles and use links, and they will appear correctly in reader software. #
- You can add a title to your tweet threads, just enter a # as the first character in your tweet, followed by the title text. #

- It's just that demon life has got you in its sway#
- It's just that demon life has got you in its sway#
- Ain't flinging tears out on the dusty ground#
- For all my friends out on the burial ground#
- Can't stand the feeling getting so brought down#
- It's just that demon life has got me in its sway#
- It's just that demon life has got me in its sway#
- There must be ways to find out#
- Love is the way they say is really strutting out#
- Rows and floes of angel hair#
- And ice cream castles in the air#
- And feather canyons everywhere#
- I’ve looked at clouds that way#
- But now they only block the sun#
- They rain and snow on everyone#
- So many things I would have done#
- But clouds got in my way#
- I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now#
- From up and down, and still somehow#
- It’s cloud illusions I recall#
- I really don’t know clouds at all#
I'm just writing tweets to go into a feed that goes into my database. #

- Through his nightmare vision, he sees nothing, only well#
- Blind with the beggar's mind, he's but a stranger#
- He's but a stranger to himself#
- Suspended from a rope inside a bucket down a hole#
- His hands are torn and bloodied from the scratching at his soul#
- Through his nightmare vision, he sees nothing, only well#
- Blind with the beggar's mind, he's but a stranger#

- You can invent and evolve a new sport if you have all the elements. If you've got enough players, a venue, journalists, fans. If you want to change the rules, you don't need to get anyone's approval, you just need a vision, and you have to do the work. #
- That's how I got blogging going. I had tools for writing, and reading, and I generated feeds myself because I am a writer. #
- I don't have to wait to find a writer who will try out my latest ideas. Or get a feed reader to support the feature, or have editing tools so that other people can do it. #
- With RSS 2.0, I was intimidated when big companies and VCs got in the way. #
- In the future I'll keep cruising because I know I have a better sense of what's needed than they do because they just hire bored employees to work on my ideas. None of them have the guts, curiousity or frankly enough intelligence to work with the person who put it together. #
- Learned that lesson after twenty years of stagnation in RSS-Land. No more of that. #

- Things like :hello: -- like this -- 😆 💜 💖 ☝️ :trollface:#
- Observation -- it's weird to type Markdown knowing you will not be able to edit the result, because tweets are not editable.#
- But I do think this is interesting. The idea of writing a thread in Twitter that can then be read in a nice format in a feed reader. That's the point. 😄#

- NPR this morning did the ultimate unforgivable "both sides" horse-race bs -- they labeled people who support [Roe v Wade](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_v._Wade) as extremists and wondered if such extremism will cause the Democrats to lose in November. #
- Journalism will let the center go where ever the Repubs want to put it. #
- Now Roe is extreme, last month it was the settled law, according to all but one of the Supreme Court justices (publicly, privately they were ready to destroy it). #
- The problem isn't Repubs, they're just taking what we're letting them have. #
- The problem is journalism and the Democratic Party, but even more broadly the problem is we don't put a stop to this and tell the Dems clearly that they have to get real, or we won't re-elect them. #
