I'm not quite sure what the difference is between Lists and Feeds, but I have found that Bluesky's Attie makes it really easy to build Feeds - I built one to follow Alzheimer's and Dementia research and advice . It's the first AI tool I've found personally useful attie.ai

Most frustrating thing about working at a mainframe COBOL shop out of college is how many offramps there are from unmaintainable legacy code. Some of it is as boring as creating an object that can be read in Java. But companies will convince themselves that is still too new and scary.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a man in business attire is disrobing and walking down a road away from a city, passing a sign that says “CITY LIMITS”. A narrative caption reads, “I left society behind.” Panel 2: it continues, “I became one with the meerkats.” The man is nude and wearing face and body paint and fake ears to look like a meerkat. He is posed next to a family of meerkats on a dirt mound. Panel 3: one of the meerkats is checking the mailbox outside their burrow, says “this came for you, bro” and hands the man an envelope. The man examines the envelope which reads “URGENT NOTICE FROM I.R.S.”

Panel 2: the heron continues, “we can finally enjoy the unaltered beauty of the earth!” Panel 3: the heron stands smiling.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:
Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.)  If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.
