Every time a feature on an app, device, browser etc irritates the crap out of me I do a quick search and find out tons of other people hate it and are desperate to find a way to disable it, and developers don't care.

Gave myself a summer mohawk, as you do when it's been 90 degrees for 50 days straight or whatever. Friends. Oil your clippers, especially before you put them away for the winter (or a dozen winters) If anyone calls it a mullet they're gonna get tased

Goya rightly gets a lot of love for his Black Paintings, this slightly earlier work is another of my faves, The Burial of the Sardine (1812–1819). Love how it grows increasingly sinister the more details you pick out, the masked revellers surrounding the grinning 'King of the Carnival'...

The title is posthumous, referring to the culminating event, Entierro de la Sardina, of a three-day carnival in Madrid ending on Ash Wednesday. Masked and disguised revellers are seen dancing their way to the banks of the Manzanares, where a ceremonial sardine will be buried. Goya does not illustrate the fish in the painting, nor the large doll made of straw, called a pelele, from which it hung; the centrepiece is the darkly grinning "King of the Carnival".Mask detail. The painting is certainly a tribute to the common people, depicting an exuberant crowd carousing on the first day of Lent while other Spanish Catholics worship at church. Yet the celebration takes on a sinister aspect due to the many masked and blank faces.Bild

Does anyone know of an algorithmic feed option here that's based on stuff you like / interact with (just the people you follow) rather than what's popular? I sometimes dip into the catch up feed to see things I've missed but it's largely a politics doomscroll
