I make regular use of both Google Maps' Timeline feature and Google Maps Location Sharing feature.

Timeline lets me review where I've been, which is useful for tracking when I left for work and when I return in order to log my hours after the fact. Location sharing lets me see where my partner is, and when they're on their way home or to meet me somewhere. Can folks recommend alternatives to both of these? They don't need to be one single system or app.

It's worth starting at the beginning, but to save folks time I jumped ahead to the 11 min mark, where he starts building toward his point.

If you're really impatient, jump to the 12 minute mark, where he really starts cooking.

Sharing this here so I have a publicly available link to share. If you are or know an artist looking to do character art for this cover, please reach out.

I'm just posting this because I need to share it with several artists we're contacting, and this is the easiest way to publicly host it.

With West Bank under total Israeli closure, settlers are seizing the moment

Israeli settlers have killed two Palestinians and raided dozens of villages amid the war with Iran, as the army restricts movement and backs up the attackers. By Oren Ziv and Basel Adra March 4, 2026

With global attention fixed on the escalating U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, Israel has imposed a total military closure on the occupied West Bank. Israeli settlers, backed by the army, are seizing the opportunity to try to expel more rural Palestinian communities from their land, as they did in the days immediately following October 7.

Within hours of the war beginning on Saturday morning, the Israeli army shut all checkpoints across the West Bank and blocked roads between cities and villages with iron gates and earth mounds. It also installed new iron gates in locations where none had previously existed. Settlers brought in excavators to seal makeshift passages Palestinians had carved out over the past two and a half years, in areas where the army has kept roads closed since the start of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

It was a joke. I assure you: I read.

Books are good.

I'm very excited to release our fifth playable adventure! Check it out!

As always, feedback and reviews are greatly appreciated!

We're preparing to release a new adventure and can now share the cover: it's “Solarpunk Technology and Nature together” by Loop-Chan!

We were able to use this free of charge (with their permission) because Loop shared it under CC BY-SA on the #storyseedlibrary! https://storyseedlibrary.org/art/loop-chan-solarpunk-technology-nature/

'It's just parroting the training data!' That's supposed to be reassuring??

This link currently goes to an event page, but when they share the link I'll redirect this link directly to it.
