I like the term ârescuing homes.â Itâs an acknowledgment of what is already there instead of demolishing and replacing. The character of streets and towns is important to me. (Which is exactly what the neighbor says later in the episode, people tear down a house, stock two new houses there, and you lose character.)

RSS has been pronounced dead over and over again, yet it is still not dead and I doubt that it ever will be. In fact, it is witnessing a little comeback from time to time. Personally, I have started to use it more regularly again and others have, too. RSS is a great way to follow the people whose posts, ideas, and opinions matter to you.

RSS is and always has been superior to social media. There's no scrambling to see what you might have missed. There's no hunting. It's all there ready for you to read it when at YOUR pace. (I'd add Readwise Reader to this list. It's my choice.)
RSS has only failed to be the dominate source of curation because of advertising. Companies cannot inject advertising into your RSS feed, the way they can in a social feed. Their business model fails without that. Perhaps it's time we realized that social media companies are third-party interlopers who have injected themselves into the relationship between writer and reader, in the same way scammers and get rich quick gurus into our carefully curated feeds.

In exchange for this deeper involvement, the user learns a useful mental model (their local geography) that can help them in future uses

I love the way Kym Petrie describes getting into the creative space to restore a house. She describes it as âbeing there, lost in that space.â That triggers something for me. I do the same thing in places. Itâs like your letting your mind view itâs past and maybe even its future. What was it like to live there? Can you feel that snapshot of time?

Book people, relax. Iâm not looking to replace reading-for-pleasure with cheap AI-generated summaries. Theyâre hollow and void of joy. I donât want the Spark Notes. I want the obscure excerpts hidden in Chapter 13, written in elegant prose, and eerily related to my exact stream of thought. Theyâre just impossible to find at the right moment. Can al... See more
