A TV show that I wish I could experience again for the first time…
jhiecruz.wordpress.com/2026/06/20/a-tv-show-that-i-wish-i-could-experience-again-for-the-first-time/
“We often wish we could relive our favorite memories, but what we really long for is the person we were when those memories were first made.” ✨📺🏡 If I could experience one thing again for the first time, it would not be a grand achievement, a luxury vacation, or even a life-changing event. It would […]

The Most Corrupt Presidency in American History
Reason: “At its heart, the otherwise complicated and multi-stage Teapot Dome affair of the 1920s, which until Watergate was considered the greatest federal government scandal of all time, was about secret bribes to an administration official that lubricated lucrative regulatory outcomes.” “In 1921, Interior Secretary Albert Fall clandestinely accepted $404,000 ($7.6 million in today’s money) […]
Sign-up and sign-in emails were going to spam. Fixed — no code change
github.com/scripting/rss.chat/blob/main/server/code/worknotes.md
The cause: mailSender was a gmail.com address, but the mail actually goes out through Amazon SES, and Gmail sends mail to spam when the sending server isn't authorized to send for the address's domain — as policy, since 2024. The fix, useful to anyone deploying this server: verify your domain as an identity in the SES console (it hands you three DKIM CNAME records to add to your DNS), then set mailSender in config.json to an address on that domain. It doesn't need a real mailbox behind it — rss.chat now sends as hello@rss.chat. Verification took minutes, and the first email after the change landed in the inbox.
Home does it all now, and Surface is retired
github.com/scripting/rss.chat/blob/main/client/code/worknotes.md
Surface — the icon that pulled you out of a deep conversation back to your place in the timeline — lived less than two days, but it proved the idea. Now that lifeline is Home's first stage: when you're buried in a story, a profile, a flipped view, or an open conversation, clicking Home brings you back to the timeline with the cursor still on the post you were reading. Click it again and you're at the top, everything reset, cursor on the newest post. It's the same rhythm as the Home tab in the Twitter and Instagram apps — tap once to come back, tap again for the top — with one icon fewer to remember. (Theme v0.5.318–0.5.320, including a fix for a sneaky side effect: the icon panel used to shift a hair when the page scrolled, which could put a different icon under your mouse between the first click and the second.)
Sign-in emails reach the inbox now

rss.chat's confirmation emails had been landing in spam. The app now sends from hello@rss.chat, and the domain is verified with Amazon SES, so Gmail and the rest can see the mail is really from us. The full story is in the server worknotes.
