DIRECT CONNECTION: “Speaking of RSS, I’m using it more than ever. Every newsletter I subscribe to goes into my feeds now and I made major progress unsubscribing from most newsletters that were coming into my email inbox. In 2025 I added 74 new feeds, bringing the total number of sites in Feedbin to 3,651.” Brad Barrish

CONSIDER:  “A question worth asking yourself: How would you act if you could ONLY reach the people you’ve already reached? No one new. It’s probably different than how you’re acting now… and maybe it’s better, too.” Jay Clouse

WORTH A WATCH: Via B. Paraseltzer: “I just watched this very timely interview with Chris Gethard in which he discussed getting back to independent/DIY creative movements, and getting away from platforms and social media.”
