Welcome to Monday’s News on the March – The week that was in my digital world.
Matthew McConaughey gives dating advice to Lex Fridman
Video interview extract at Lex Clips
I love Matthew’s honesty about finding love late in life, accepting yourself, and letting that guide you, instead of forcing a relationship that might not work out in the end.
This was a beautiful convo and amazing palette cleanser for all the horrible men vs women podcasts I see. Nothing about how a woman or a man should act to attract a mate etc….just two people talking about love and what transpired for them in their life.
Hello Fediverse!
Blog article by Mike Smith at Self Aware Patterns
This week, WordPress.com announced that all of their blogs would now have the option to join the Fediverse. The announcement included instructions on how to enable it.
As Twitter, now X, has become increasingly less usable, a number of other platforms have been vying to be its replacement: Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, and several others. Unfortunately, choosing a social media platform has historically been more about who was on that platform than its feature set.
But one trend offers the chance of upending that calculation: interoperability. If someone on service A can follow and interact with people on service B or any other service, then, similar to using email or the straight web, everyone can be free to choose the platform of their choice. The biggest new factor in the calculation might be whether a particular service participates in that interoperability.
WordPress.com’s announcement means they’ll be part of that broad federation.

I watch a rescue animal show on youtube. A guy in Texas saved a Kangaroo from a place that hunts them. They can get jacked… his is really nice but he does fight with him but nothing like this lol.
This Aussie guy is hailed as being a hero for saving his dog, but he’s lucky to be alive. One front kick from the kangaroo would have knocked him out and drowned him.
Yea that one was full grown… and huge. I agree.
Very interesting. That Kangaroo is something….
Yeh, he’s jacked alright! Jesus
Love it! Don’t want to meet up with him!
