A propos of nothing, it seems that Micro.blog now supports a feature around Bookshelves & Reading List — the rationale being that keeping track of books via @microdotblog is a good way to then share thoughts, which is a very nice idea…
I wish there was a way to sync w/Oku tho…
With every day that passes, it looks more and more like I’ll be going back to freelancing.
The first step is to prepare a new ‘professional’ website, then to organize myself across Notion & Things, and later ensure the legal, admin, and banking side is all set up… Wish me luck! :)
As a follow-up to yesterday’s post about Mastodon, it seems that I can keep posting from @MicroDotBlog and y’all can just follow @tibz@micro.blog to interact with me…
Grateful to @Manton @jean and the Micro.blog team for the easy setup

Oh #TheLastOfUs 01x03, you have no right to bring up Max Richter’s ”On the Nature of Daylight” and pull at the heartstrings the way you do!
After an unprecedented winter window in which they signed seven senior players for over £280million, there is one question dominating the sport: How are Chelsea able to embark on such a spending spree while abiding by UEFA’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations?
Howdy y’all 🤠: “The Athletic is jumping on the Wrexham bandwagon”
Shout out to @PetBerisha for the fantastic breakdown on the @Sorare x @PremierLeague deal
After the @WSJopinion piece called “Are there too many Asians?”, I’m seeing a piece called “Are French People just lazy?” in @nytopinion today.
…Which begs the question: are there any good editors left?!
If you’re able to watch it on Apple TV+ (which is a service I definitely recommend), “Super League: The War for Football” is a fascinating look at what happened in 2021!
Really enjoyed this piece on my childhood club: AS Monaco 🇲🇨
The Monaco academy boasts a star-studded list of alumni: World Cup winners Thierry Henry, Emmanuel Petit, Lilian Thuram, David Trezeguet and Kylian Mbappé all graduated from the club. When Monaco tinkered with their successful formula of youth development, signing Radamel Falcao and James Rodríguez for big money, they won Ligue 1 and reached the Champions League semi-finals
If you want to strip what’s left of the Titanic, call the Washington Wizards front office. No one is better at salvage operations.
Y’all just don’t understand
As I’m preparing for the Manchester derby this weekend, this was a great read!
“How we all started dressing up like Seinfeld” by the most excellent @Sprezza_ !
2023 is the year I put my community-building and online-friendliness skills to good use on my own projects.
I’ve given enough and been burnt enough by corporations.
“We want a little 82-year old granny to come in the morning to have her coffee. If the place ends up being Instagram-cool, okay, sure. But the goal isn’t Instagram, the goal is the granny. If granny comes, the rest will come.”
Big advocate for “one device that does one thing well and allows you to slow down” (aka delayed gratification)
This was too relatable considering my current personal situation and professional predicament.
“Right now you’re in a very specific moment. It’s called liminal space. You’re in the ambiguous or disoriented phase, also known as the middle of a rite of passage. Part of that is just growing up, but it also has to do with what you found out. Now you’re transforming, incorporating that information into your identity. It can be scary, like free-falling.”
