Ya, I've noticed that with some feed readers that specialize more in podcasts that text-based feeds. It seems like they're inclined to think that the attached media is more important than text content itself, which kinda makes sense.

It's on my list to have a look at the Atom feed format to see if that offers any better solutions. See, I had an idea last night…

I'm into that kind of thing!

Actually, on that subject, I've been following the articles RSS feed, and I'm getting some strange behaviour. I'm not sure if it's the feed or my feed reader (Doggcatcher for Android), but I haven't seen this on other feeds. Normally, the default when clicking on a post is to open the post so I can read it, but on this feed, when there is a photo or video in the post, Doggcatcher defaults to downloading the media, as if it's a podcast. I can still read them by going to "description", but it's weird.

Good read. I found this interesting:

"Communes ended up being places that were deeply racially divided, even though none of them would ever cop to being explicitly racist or wouldn’t even want to be. Gender norms were incredibly conservative on communes. I don’t know how many photographs I’ve looked at of young women, pregnant, barefoot, carrying loaves of bread"

I have to agree with the idea that without bureaucracy then things tend to fall into a small group of charismatic people taking the lead and the rest following.

In related news… I like looking at reports because they're understandable and don't talk back, unlike some people I work with.

Basically I was just gabbing about the stats here on the site. I like to nerd out on data.
