Just updated the #madeina2 site for the first time in awhile. We gained @sassafrastech@twitter.com and @TreetownT@twitter.com.
Responsive images aren't ready yet but I don't care right now, got them working and it's mostly config now thanks to @aimeegamble@twitter.com's @eleven_ty@twitter.com work so I'll just leave them for later. Also #edc is useful in an era when you don't leave the house, right? https://jshwlkr.info/posts/2020/edc-2020/
News avoidance is a thing. I'd bet almost all of us are experiencing it right now. https://www.niemanlab.org/2019/06/why-do-some-people-avoid-news-because-they-dont-trust-us-or-because-they-dont-think-we-add-value-to-their-lives/
Intimacy vs scale, what economies might look like post pandemic: https://medium.com/authority-magazine/nprs-planet-money-co-founder-adam-davidson-how-we-plan-to-rebuild-in-the-post-covid-economy-120cf346a4bf
Probably difficult for some/many in the middle-class to come to terms with but how this could be surprising with the inevitable progression from trickle-down economics is beyond me.
if you're currently trying to get yourself responsive images in @eleven_ty@twitter.com automatically I'd heartily recommend https://github.com/aimee-gm/responsive
I read the NYT article on AOC first and was not impressed. https://www.thecut.com/2020/07/aoc-speech-ted-yoho-new-york-times.html
Also, a big thank you to Third Man Records and Jack White for The Pathetx - 1981 https://thirdmanrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-pathetx-1981
Just a reminder that this album exists and it's a crime that Death isn't a household name, especially in Detroit. https://deathfromdetroit.bandcamp.com/album/for-the-whole-world-to-see
https://algierstheband.bandcamp.com/track/the-underside-of-power #NowPlaying #MusicMonday Darlings of southern gothic post-punk, critically underrated. (And maybe incredibly relevant at the moment.)
I'm using @eleven_ty@twitter.com. I've redefined markdown-it to use markdown-it-footnote, but I'd like to use eleventy-img too. I think changing the markdown library disables the LiquidJS preprocessing. Any suggestions how I might get both?
Does anyone know if there's a safe mobile option to edit Zettlr files? (With something like Joplin + SyncThing maybe?) I'd like to try Zettlr but I'd need to have some mechanism for slipping in some notes on mobile occasionally.
The Arthur theme (Believe in Yourself) has a synthwave cover. https://youtu.be/q8z_hL-nItk
On the American dead and the American Government.

I think Bell's contrast with the Charlottesville layout is notable. https://kottke.org/20/06/fixing-racial-bias-in-journalism
"There is a difference between focus and exclusion. If something matters, this does not imply that nothing else does."

#Fascism has happened in the US and can happen again. https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2020/06/22/american-fascism-it-has-happened-here/
Watching a lot of my local protests, it often seems more about locals just wanting to #protest (and sometimes being seen) than actually ensuring their efforts are helping anyone or making change. #annarbor https://thecreativeindependent.com/guides/how-to-think-differently-about-doing-good-as-a-creative-person/
