olympic weightlifting reinvented

Liked Weightlifting reinvented – no more press-out, new competitions, fewer referees (Inside The Games)

New, simplified rules and new-format competitions will feature after the Paris 2024 Olympic Games if, as expected, members of the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) approve a new vision for the sport.

Liked Why I Blog? by

Pablo Morales (lifeofpablo.com)

I blog because I want to share my thoughts, which seems pretty obvious. The real reason I write is to find the person I’ve always wanted to become. For many years, I lost control of who I was. All that ambition, all those goals were pushed back. Truly, I want to learn how I can become more expressive with myself. I want to reconnect with myself. Blogging is only one piece of putting me back together.

choosing a hybrid publisher

Liked Writer’s Workshop: 3 Reasons I Chose a Hybrid Publisher (K E Garland)

First things first. It’s good. I almost feel like it’s too good for me to publish. Like you could get an agent, and do a proposal, and go traditional. Honestly, I’m happy to suppo…

nobody cares about your blog

Liked Nobody cares about your blog by Alex Molas (alexmolas.com)

I started writing on my blog some years ago, and since then I’ve had a lot of reasons to stop writing. Here’s a list of why nobody cares about your blog:

The McNulty spectrum

Liked I am on the McNulty Spectrum (Jay Little – Software Obsessionist)

So over the last few weeks, I have been re-watching one of my favorite television shows of all time, The Wire. If you haven’t seen it, you should probably rectify that oversight. That being what it is, I’m currently making my way through Season 3 and I had a revelation of sorts: I might be a McNulty.

and you’re not alone in this exact state of mind! (minor spoilers for season 3 of The Wire)

threads by meta

Liked First thoughts about Threads by

Ben Werdmuller (werd.io)

Meta’s new social network is interesting: an obvious strategic shot at Twitter just as that network is running into trouble, as well as a way to iterate on its aging Facebook property. To that end, it makes sense that Meta would piggyback on the fediverse of independent social networks that interc…

It doesn’t look like Threads is coming to the EU anytime soon, so I’m getting my first look second-hand. I have personal thoughts & a conflict of interest both as a Meta employee and a Mastodon user, so I won’t write anything myself about the feature in the foreseeable future, but I liked Ben’s post…

searching for a recipe

Liked Searching for a recipe by

Jeremy Cherfas (jeremycherfas.net)

We are looking after a friend’s place in the country and perhaps the hardest work is keeping on top of the vegetable garden. Ignore it for a day, and there are five large cucumbers, mocking you. My cucumber repertoire is somewhat limited; raita, quick pickle, sandwiches and, when I remember, Yan-K…

on the limits of searching for a recipe online, the problem with search engines, the problem with subscriptions, and the futility of trying to clean up this mess.
