Coffee on the deck with @BadgerBadgerBadger on this beautiful day.

I am not a big reader any more – I do blame the internet and doom scrolling and the instant gratification/dopamine reward. I am trying to be better and after dipping into Goodreads found that I could do it in a more fedi-friendly way. I read a mix of politics, leadership and political fiction.

As my use of the #fediverse was expanding, and without algorithms telling me what to see I decided to create lists of my followed depending if I wanted to see local information, politics, 2SLGBTQ views, tech stuff etc etc.

Unfortunately you cannot import lists into my new instance so the work was rather in vain – it also took ages.

Some clever bean should create a drag and drop tool to create lists and drop followees into them.

Back to Acadia University this evening to hear the Honourable Bill Morneau speak. I think I probably asked the cheekiest question – but that’s me. #cdnpoli #canpol #cdnpol #canpoli
