oh my god the fakin' it section of the most recent gbe playdate is fucking incredible
watching the new gbe playdate and man i love austin walker so much

while I think s3 is still maybe better, s4 addressed my biggest criticism of the series, so I think it's great and a fantastic addition to the show.
just finished s4 of bojack horseman. damn that's a good show
I think maybe the solution to this problem is to base recommendations on how many of your friends follow *and are followed back* by someone. there's probably also systemic issues with that, though. it might just lead to like, insular cliques for instance, though i think that's better than the clumping of social capital you get with the old model
the best indicator of whether or not i'll like someone is if my friends are friends with that person. the problem with this approach, though, is that sites structured like twitter and mastodon don't track *friends*, they track *followers*, and interpreting following as friendship leads to this awful one-sided clumping behavior where the people that get recommended are people that have a lot of followers, so they get more followers, so they're recommended more, etc
i think the fundamental issue with a feature like themed lists/groups for suggesting followers is that what you like or do has, in my experience, very little to do with what kind of person you are or if I'll like hanging out with you. I like game development & indie music, but guess what, there's a significant contingent of people who also like those things who are just fucking terrible.
i fuckin love trains
i just noticed that the boards of canada lp i got from the pbs idea channel set has some like torn bits on the back from when it was taken off the record wall and i'm having a bit of a moment
