What's everyone up to today? I'm, uh, working on the site a little. And hopefully am going to get out for some exercise today even though I'm feeling a little under the weather (sore throat, Covid neg).
Oh and I'm listening to some old school electronica — still helping me code and design 25-30 years after I first started listening to it.
Kottke dot org is going to become the model for the only kind of social media we need!
Jason, you might want to take another Covid test. I didn't test positive until 3 days from the onset of symptoms.
Oh cool! This is great. We’re having a quiet day here, also coming out from being under the weather. I ordered a copy of The Life and Death of Ivan Ilyich, the Pevear/Volokhonsky translation, which I’m excited about.
Quiet day here too... finished up some work for a new course and now settling in for the evening looking for a decent movie to relax to. Any rom-com suggestions?
so late but maybe for next time =)

maybe you know all of these already or they're not your bag ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but those are what i could come up with & i'll probably remember more once i hit post lol
I just watched Rye Lane (streaming on Hulu) very fun and smart.
Ooh, Rye Lane does look promising! Might give that a go this weekend. :)
That is great!
Yeah, I hope it will help people keep up with threads that they've posted in. Still need to implement a way to let people know they have replies to their comments.
Seems possible to display a symbol of some kind in the comment widget if there are any replies to any of your own comments in that thread. Doesn't need to be too complicated
3 makes me so happy!
Very handy!
We had so many plans for today — volunteering with an Earth Day electronics recycling shindig, trying out a new breakfast spot, going board games shopping. But it's pouring rain, the Earth Day events were canceled due to said rain, and we all feel a bit under the (stormy) weather So, instead of a productive, active day, we decided to compete over who can make the best hot chocolate, learn a new embroidery stitch, and talk about what movie we should watch for a solid 2 hours. No movie has been chosen yet; we took a break so I could get some ramen broth on to simmer. Two adults (with wildly different tastes) and a very opinionated tween... we may never actually get to the movie, but the debate has been more enjoyable than I could have ever predicted!
PS I didn't know I wanted commenting tweaks, but I love the commenting tweaks.
I’m training for a month-long hike this summer, so I was out on the trail today carrying a backpack filled with a jumble of hand weights. I blasted dance music in my earbuds and thought a lot about the food I want to eat on my trip.
groceries, diner lunch, planting, & hanging a beautiful trellis my carpenter husband made. low 40s here in nw ohio so thankful i didn't store my puffer & mittens just yet.
thx for the comment changes, jason!
Carting my two kids, I tried meeting up with my sister at a beautiful nature trail only to find it under earth-day-festival conditions and way too crowded to manage a parking spot. Quickly pivoted to the nearest playground only to find ourselves on the swings while a massive, thousands-strong crowd gathered to celebrate 4/20. Weird afternoon.
Excited about these changes, Jason! Hope you made it outside for a little movement and fresh air too.
Just a note to say the “threads you’ve posted in” tab is liable to make me comment more! I was into commenting here for a while, but it was too much hassle scrolling back to check to see if anyone responded to me. Thanks!
Love all the iterations on this comment system. Inspiring! Maybe you could open source it? I'm sure other folks would love to learn / implement based off of it. (Though I know prettying up the code for public perusal can be a pain in the paunch.)
BTW, really great NYT article! Loved the extra commentary/photos on your site (#ridgeline, natch). Good luck with the next walk!
What should it be called, though? Kotments?
I’m not sure we have another Choppke in us.
Very happy about all three! Thanks

This is the name that'll be displayed next to comments you make on kottke.org; your email will not be displayed publicly. I'd encourage you to use your real name (or at least your first name and last initial) but you can also pick something that you go by when you participate in communities online. Choose something durable and reasonably unique (not "Me" or "anon"). Please don't change this often. No impersonation.
Note: I'm letting folks change their display names because the membership service that kottke.org uses collects full names and I thought some people might not want their names displayed publicly here. If it gets abused, I might disable this feature.
If you feel like this comment goes against the grain of the community guidelines or is otherwise inappropriate, please let me know and I will take a look at it.
