Notes for July 14, 2026

The Beatles vs Hitler in the most fucked-up 1970s movie ever made via Dangerous Minds

The basic idea sounds almost like a practical joke. Take thousands of hours of wartime newsreel footage, splice it together with clips from old Hollywood combat movies, then soundtrack the whole thing with contemporary artists covering Lennon and McCartney classics.

wtf I didn't even know this existed lol. I'll stick with George Martin's In My Life record whenever I want to hear covers of Beatles songs.

A look back on how Android and iPhone killed arguably the best dumb phone brand.

Came across a post about an app called Nearby Glasses while scrolling Bluesky today. It uses Bluetooth to scan your surroundings for anyone wearing those dumb ass Meta glasses.

I've been loving Standard Reader.

Some of my posts here are probably a little meta at times, but that's mostly because I'm starting fresh in a whole new place and I'm still discovering new things about it. This is definitely one of my favorite inventions since RSS, so I had to share it for anyone who doesn't know.

It's a web reader for all things Atmosphere: Leaflet, Standard.site, etc. It's like a hub for this whole little universe. Definitely worth a look if you're blogging or even just reading posts in this space. I get most of my content from the Unread RSS app, but this feels more native and immersive for Atmosphere sites.

My history with blogging (what about YOU?) via Debbie's Blatherings

I love everyone's blogging journey stories. It's the Wild West out here; a lot of blogs are self-hosted, or hosted on sites that eventually die, or sometimes we just pick up and migrate somewhere else for the hell of it. I've used Wordpress, Ghost, Micro.blog, Bear Blog, and back in the day, Angelfire, Xanga, Blogger, and I even tried regular blogging on Tumblr in its younger days. I've migrated and tried to save everything before, but lately I just nuke the whole thing and start over when I'm feeling burned out. I think I'll stick around in the Atmosphere for a good long while though. I like it here.
