i'm working on a new version of my thread-writer for bluesky. the previous version was written two years ago, and was a port of the previous app that did the same for twitter. the new version will be easier to set up, and will not rely on my servers, will communicate direct with bluesky.

@akma.bsky.social turns out one AI use case is theological research and another is writing sermons. Maybe you should consider creating AKMA bot. I asked Gemini “What would Jesus do?” Response was decent. I asked it to compare Islam with Buddhism and it seemed reasonable.

I follow this Maine photographer, Karl Ramsdell. While I binge watched “Shameless” yesterday, he paddle boarded 20 miles in the ocean in December in Maine to take these photos. Amazing, humbling and inspiring 🫶

Maria is a good movie. Watched it over two evenings because it long. Strong contender for best picture. Angelina Jolie deserves Oscar for her powerful acting.

Bluesky devs.. How about a compromise. Support inbound RSS. Let me enter the URL of an RSS feed in settings. I'll ping a fixed location when the feed updates. Such a system would allow the same flow to go to other systems. This would help a lot. PS: I'll help.
