I saw this dog at the park yesterday. He hopes your week is off to a good start.

Friends came down from Los Angeles yesterday and we visited the San Diego Zoo
Yes, that is my finger in the preceding photo. I like it anyway.

Shorter version of my earlier post about Tapestry: Yes, today I can consume Mastodon, Threads, Reddit, YouTube, newsletters etc. in most RSS readers—but the experience is nowhere near as good as in the native apps.
