Here’s some stuff I’ve experienced lately (and not necessarily only new releases). In addition, our free Stream Team community has a lot more daily action happening on the recommendations front too.

Note: It’s a much shorter list this month due to a little trip.

Foundation (TV): This show is so sprawling and insane, but I can’t get enough

Superman (Movie): Huge fan, and we got to see it on the trip in English with Japanese subtitles

The Name of This Band is R.E.M. (Book): The fascinating story of one of my all-time favorite bands

Flesh and Code (Podcast): An insane story for an insane world

Squid Game (TV): Thought they brought it in for a “nice” landing

Lost in Translation (Movie): Mandatory viewing while we were in Tokyo (think I’d only seen it close to the original release)

The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift (Movie): Speaking of requirements, watching this while in the city was a real bucket list moment for me

Shy Girl (Book): Still not sure that my jaw is fully off the ground from some of these scenes

Liberty Lost (Podcast): Compelling and enraging

Rhys Darby in Japan (TV): Watched this before we left, and it was (no surprise) a complete delight

But I’m a Cheerleader (Movie): I’d never seen it, and it was exactly what I needed it to be

Autocracy in America (Podcast): We’re BACK, baby (very reluctantly)

Dirty Dancing (Movie): Had been a while, and it still REALLY holds up (with the soundtrack of course being the stuff of legend)

Snow White (Movie): Rachel Zegler was pretty good, but man this whole thing really didn’t need to exist

Her (Movie): Hadn’t watched it in years, and it’s staggering how many of Samantha’s abilities are now just part of our daily lives

This will sound like a whinge, but it isn't meant as one. I like hachyderm. It's friendly and inclusive.

But where have so many amateur and professional programmers gone? My feed is quieter than it was.

Boasting an impressively vast discography of downtempo gems that are reminiscent of early Mo' Wax, Scottish musician Phono Input (a.k.a. Aaron A. Fimister) is our #MirloMondays highlight for this week. This EP, "Soft Machines", is from 2024.

We also really like the artwork.

I like getting soap and lotion from independent makers. I want to make sure I am purchasing from good people. I like sweet and floral scents, lotion that melts into skin quickly, and soap with enough slipperiness to shave my legs with it because I prefer multi-use stuff. Also no exfoliating nonsense in the soaps (some people sneak things into it without saying! Holy moly sensory hell!) Oh and no etsy links. Nothing that I need to log in to buy. Recommend me things!

Does anyone have #recommendations #softwareengineering for maintaining a library in two branches where one has subtle #softwaredesign changes that deviate from original design? I'd like to keep branches as closely related as possible. I'm well familiar with #versioncontrol so I know the standard tricks. Unfortunately this will involve actual design and structure so relatively invasive.

I am also considering having both in same library with some toggle or API entrypoint.

What is #DarkSocial? Dark social refers to the distribution of #content via #privatechannels outside of publicly visible social networks.

Invisible #Traffic Many #recommendations and #links reach users via dark social, but are hardly traceable in analysis tools.

#Trust and #Intimacy Content shared via dark social is often more #trusted as it is shared directly and #personally in a #private setting and does not come across as #advertising.
