Been tossing out ideas of switching to other platforms mostly to see what other people are thinking. My conclusion: no one has strong stances on being anywhere right now 😂
FWIW - I have appreciated and enjoyed following your work this year. From the "sloptraptions", to the book club, to reading and enjoying the fiction on Protocolized. Looking forward to what 2026 brings!

feel this in my bones about most platforms. enjoying a break from aggregators and following people via RSS feeds again. also blown away at how easy it is building projects with AI - shipped a book catalog over a weekend and a Thucydides daily reader over a week. next idea is a scrollytelling website.
