Wondering why I decided to pick up ‘Middlemarch?’
A week ago, I happened upon this piece in the New York Times.

CW: Long thread/2
While nostalgia is a toxic impulse (h/t #JohnHodgman), there's no denying that there once existed an old, good web, and that it has given way to the #enshitternet. I don't want to bring the old, good web back, but I would welcome a *new*, good web, and by studying the factors that contributed to the old, good web's rise and fall, we can both conjure up that new, good web - and protect it.

As #JohnHodgman is fond of reminding us, "#nostalgia is a toxic impulse." It is easy for an old net.hand like me to fall into the trap of shaking his fist at the #cloud. Having been on the other side of that dynamic, I can tell you it's no fun.
When I got on #BBSes in the early 1980s, there was an omnipresent chorus of grumps insisting that the move from honest acoustic couplers to decadent #modems was the end of the Golden Age of telecommunications:

Started listening to "Be Podding You'", a podcast mini-series (4 episodes) covering "The Prisoner" with coverage of the first two and the last two episodes of the series.
Given the amount of love the series surfaced from past discussions, No. 2 compelled me to share it with you all.
