The whole point of the story is that despite being a group of people who aren't especially adventurous and mostly love good food, drink, and leaf and quiet lives at home, that they have a hidden strength and are especially resilient at resisting the evil of the ring!
I’m really starting to suspect that most of the tech bros haven’t actually read Tolkien, as they certainly don’t understand it.
The gentle hobbits save the “hard men” of Gondor, largely through compassion and selflessness. Not the other way around. The Christian parable is barely hidden!

Is politics weighing on you? Does it ever make you feel alone, like "everyone" is on board with awful things and "no one" cares (or close)?
Then you should go to a No Kings protest. That feeling isn't uncommon, but it's a trick. Go be around some of the many people who agree with you. You'll see.

Local No Kings rally was lovely, chill in spirit and temperature, loads of signs, cute dogs and frogs, doughnuts from the best doughnut shop ever. It was great to see how many of us there are. Highly recommend if you’re on the fence about whether to attend yours.

When I'm not building websites one of my favourite things I do is designing The Dartmoor Collective books and zines. I'm *really* proud of 'Flow'. If you love art / photography / landscapes / poetry and want to support Dartmoor artists, please grab a copy from dartmoorcollective.org/product/flow...

We're delighted to announce the publication of our new zine, Flow.
It's by far our best and biggest publication yet, featuring 60 pages of work from 35 Dartmoor visual artists exploring the theme of flow across a diversity of styles and mediums, interweaved with the words of writer, Kirsteen McNish.

I don’t have anything new to say about what to do in these times but I can recommend books:
Automatic Noodle by @annaleen.bsky.social is perfect cozy sci fi 🤖 and The Payback by @kashana.bsky.social is a great heist (?), the Debt Police are genius and not so far fetched?

Just used Claude Code to analyse screenshots of a series of Slack messages and had it create a markdown file with the summary along with links to the screenshots used.
I trust it about as much as I’d trust a 10 year old’s summary of their school day but it is better organised than before.

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government.
That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.
