There are talks that Michael Keaton may be in the new Flash movie as Batman.I really hope this is true. I always wanted Michael Keaton in at Batman Beyond style mentor role.

Today, I checked my stats on my blog and discovered some fellow bloggers had responded to and mentioned my post on Shame and Blogging (https://www.brandonsjournal.com/shame-and-blogging) from a week ago.
I gotta say, after years of feeling like I was writing to no one its nice to know that I've found a community of bloggers through Write.as, #100DaysToOffload, and Mastodon that support one another. These past few months have been the most rewarding time I've spent on the internet ever.
I'm still going strong on my #100DaysToOffload. I just don't post every update on here. Today's post was about my first experience with Elite Dangerous last night.

Hey bloggers, keep in mind that the only measure that says if your blog is good or not, is your linking of it.
Do you enjoy thinking of your blog, then it's a good blog, if you associate anything bad with it, you should fix it. Don't feel guilty when your blog isn't perfect for everyone. It's your blog and should be as you like it, not as others like it.

My post on how does #Mastodon work is very popular, so I decided to take some time out to give it a re-write.

Slowly converting family to Linux... my dad has been tinkering with it for a few years on some of his computers, and has come to appreciate it, at least for certain tasks.
And now, I’ve not only convinced my sister to give it a go, but to also pick up a custom desktop build from System76! She blogged a little about it yesterday as part of #100DaysToOffload - check it out at https://100daysofhannah.hannahvollmer.net/2020/06/day-46-you-can-tech-if-you-want-to.html?m=1 🙂
@roscoeellis I read that you were enjoying Star Trek Discovery. Its one heck of a ride. Like you I approached it slowly because of all the bad reviews but I ended up loving it.

Is #Mastodon really all that decentralised? I'm not so sure after looking at the numbers...
I spent some time pondering if blogging today is a temporary form of writing vs a more permanent writing back when website were created for my #100DaysToOffload

I saw a DuckDuckGo billboard yesterday. It made me smile.
Yesterday, I wrote about #Firefly https://www.brandonsjournal.com/firefly
Spent sometime discussing physical media as part of my #100DaysToOffload

Finished watching The Vast of Night on Prime. It was pretty good. I love a good sci fi film that doesn't rely on special effects.
I've been enjoying the month of DC Universe I subscribed to. Stargirl is fun, Harley Quinn is hilarious, and the first episode of Swamp Thing is pretty good thus far.
