Simon has revived his blog …and he’s importing his writings from not-his-blog too.
Start a blog. Start one because the practice of writing at length, for an audience you respect, about things that matter to you, is itself valuable. Start one because owning your own platform is a form of independence that becomes more important as centralized platforms become less trustworthy. Start one because the format shapes the thought, and this format is good for thinking.

I like the idea of redirecting
/nowto the latest post tagged asnowso one could see the latest version of what I’m doing now.
I have a richer picture of the group of people in my feed reader than I did of the people I regularly interacted with on social media platforms like Instagram.
Serendipity is the best algorithm.
