@ChristinWhite It's basically a text editor. Great for storing text. Todos, AFAIC, have dimensions to them that Obsidian cannot provide. Assigning to someone. Reminders and alarms and notifications on your phone WITHOUT running the master app. Quick add of tasks from eg the iPhone lock screen. Natural date parsing. I can put [X] inline with text until the cows come home, but it's always going to be text no matter how much the plugin fiddles the on-screen display. #TickTick is my go-to.

CW: US & Global Politics / Spotify
Just canceled #Spotify, I want my music subscription to pay artists, not get invested into warfare technology. And running ads for ICE is an absolute dealbreaker.
Not sure Apple is much better at this point but I’m pretty deeply invested in their ecosystem — for now — so I may go back to Apple Music.
Might try TIDAL first though, they apparently have one of the highest rates that they pay artists.

Mandragora is out! If you like #SoulsLikes, #Metroidvanias or #DarkFantasy it looks like a must play. After being a Kickstarter backer I’m excited to finally dive in with the full release! https://youtube.com/watch?v=gC0q8U0iXxk&si=UfdtmFdMk0aikuJe

Maple 7 is out and damn is it a gorgeous, open-source, variable weight monospace font with superb italics, ligatures, nerd font symbols and Chinese support and a ton of options.
I'm not sure it's going to replace my beloved MonoLisa as my primary monospace font but I’m going to give it a shot.
I really like the small gaps option.

#TerryBrooks is retiring and passing the torch for Shannara to live on with a new author taking the reigns. Despite how deritivee the Shannara series when I was a around 10, shortly after I read Narnia and Lord of the Rings myself for the first time. It was a formative influence on me as a #fantasy literature fan and that has ensured it will always be dear to me.
There are still some standouts in the series too, I think his Word and the Void trilogy was the most creative thing he's ever done and remains a masterpiece. Meanwhile, The Genesis of Shannara remains simply the most fun I've had with any part of the series. Especially as the post apocalyptic bridge between The Word and the Void and Shannara proper. It didn’t hurt that it was finally the confirmation that they were connected and took place in the the universe and time I suspected all along but hadn’t yet been confirmed.
Over the years, many newer authors have surpassed the series in epic fantasy in my view and there were certainly missteps along the way. The end of the timeline, for instance, fell completely flat for me. Nevertheless it's quite an accomplishment and deserves to be celebrated for the influence on the genre and in helping to create or cement many other fantasy readers like myself.
Congrats to Terry, well done and I look forward to seeing where Delilah Dawson takes the world of Shannara going forward, not to mention familiarizing myself with her other work.
I do Shawn Speakman was at least offered the opportunity as author in his own right and has been central to the fandom as the a continuity editor for the quite a while and run both Terry's site and the Shannara subreddit.

Anyone familiar with the #Yep search engine? Privacy policy looks decent, they aren’t a metasearch engine and have an interesting revenue sharing model.
They do include LLM content but it’s not a chat interface, just a tasteful summary similar to how Neeva did it. I personally find that type of summary useful and it's off to the side on a large window and truncated at the top of the results for a small window, not the focus of the UI.
It's a bit on the slow side and doesn't have a lot of power features like !bangs unfortunately. 😢
The company behind it, ahrefs (good name), makes SEO tools that seems to be heavily invested in AI and 'no personal data stored’ analytics. Based in Singapore.

One of my partner’s favorite games is #StarControl2, particularly the open-source fork. I finally decided to give it a try and we’re playing together. So far it’s delightful and surprisingly modern in narrative if a bit dated on mechanics. I can definitely see the influence it had on Mass Effect, No Man’s Sky and choice-driven RPGs in general.
I can’t help but wonder if Craig Alanson played it too, it reminds me a ton of Expeditionary Force, one of my favorite recent sci-fi book series. The client species hierarchy and the wacky aliens in particular.
The Steam version is free and easy to run on modern systems (at least Mac).

"It's been exactly ten years. A whole decade, and the world hasn't learned, a goddamn thing."
Absolutely devastating.

Seriously, since moving to Portland a year ago we’ve had more power outages than I’ve seen in the previous decade. Thanks #pacificpower.

Playing with #NotePlan this last week as my task manager, planner and daily log has been really instructive. Having it open on iOS and be instantly ready to start working, no long ‘loading plugins’ phase is a serious advantage over #Obsidian and it’s made me think that I’d love two ways to interact with Obsidian. One as my full #PKM, the other as a streamlined, preferably native daily notes app that both use the same vault. Ultimately, I think what I really want are vault syncing APIs.

Got a little mention in this one. I doubt the Local Baddies read much of Religion News Service, though.

Just trying #PennysBigBreakaway: great mix of #SuperMario Odyssey (yo-yo-based moveset), #Kirby and the Forgotten Land (level design), #Sonic Mania (momentum, graphic style, aesthetics) and #SuperMarioGalaxy (power-up time, missions in the level). Evolves extra lives & gameover in -10k points if you lose all attempts, then redo level or from last checkpoint. Lots of hedonistic NPCs with funny dialogues and lots of mass attack penguins. The faith in #ChristianWhitehead & #TeeLopes was worth it

So this Wednesday, I"ll guest on FFRF's... Facebook live thingy? Radio thingy? whatever it is, to talk about Idaho's peculiar brand of patriarchal white Christian nationalism, and their broad and coordinated attack on public institutions, most specifically and currently, the public college, public library, and public schools.
I also doubt that I will be able to refrain from throwing a little shade at the stilted whiteness (and concomitant hierarchical patriarchy) of many of organized atheism's more venerable institutions. 😜 Possibly mentioning Nadya Dutchin as someone whose work to decolonize atheism had recently inspired me.

The Long Night, the new Christian White novel, October 2025

Em has lived a quiet life with her complicated mother and is now looking for love and a potential escape from her small hometown. When a masked man kidnaps her in the dark of night, though, she is drawn into a […]

"Codename: Sanctuary & Terror" Teaser
What will you do with your gifts?
"In the far future of a world of heroes and villains, Liam Murphy and his identical cousin Leo have long held hatred of bullies.

Your dreams are like this fruit. They start as seeds of ideas, planted in the fertile ground of your mind. They need nurturing – attention, effort, and a belief in their potential. There will be challenges, moments of doubt, and times when you feel like giving up.
Remember the resilience of this little fruit. It didn't let the challenges stop it from growing. It embraced the sunlight, absorbed the nutrients, and kept pushing forward.
See Psalm 138:8 NKJV

Daniel March, Congregationalist hymn writer, urges teaching children to forego pleasures in order to save for the needy. He foresees a day when all people shall live as one brotherhood. He sees instilling good habits such as giving as being part of that future.
Certain forms of dispensationalism, in contrast, may look forward to a day when there is more suffering, which means Christ’s return is imminent.
How can you indulge in the higher pleasure of giving?
