The "when the Web dies" thing - https://midnight.pub/posts/1223, I'd say I have happened across another one of those moments. RSS, Read.write.as, Midnight, Smol Pub, various Mastodon feeds (again, through RSS), they run dry and I'm left with fingers resting on keyboard thinking: "well NOW what am I going to consume-and-then-write about?"
