Just three questions...

in #news4 years ago

As 2020 draws to a close.

And I haven't posted for a long, long time.

I have been pondering.

Upon these 3 questions...



1. Is there still a space for Hive News?

Has anyone else picked up on a daily news service now?

If yes, that is great.

If no, would anyone notice if it started it again?

[ Thank you @chrisrice for the nudge on this. ]


2. Would A Dollar A Day work on Hive these days?

The @adollaraday project gave my time great purpose back in the day.

In this different place. In these different times. With these different (much bigger) needs.

Could it ever be the same again?

Or could it be better?


3. What should I watch next on Netflix or Amazon Prime?

With not much writing, there's been too much viewing.

But it is good to kick back and relax a while with an organic beer or two.

I've caught up with Fear The Walking Dead. Ground through some low rated dystopian movies. And tinkered about with a bit of Jack Ryan nailing the bad guys.

Now I need some new inspiration. Happy ending Post Apoc's especially welcome. I need these like a shot in the arm.

Any suggestions...



Thank you and good night from me and my five new prepping chickens...

Great to hear from you man!

Here's my run down...

  1. Yes! Check out what @hivetrending has been doing too with that, could be potential to joint venture or create a central 'hub' for Hive news with multiple contributors?

  2. I'd love to see that take shape...I'm a big fan of Kiva, so anything like that on chain, I'd love to witness and support.

  3. THE EXPANSE!!!!!!!!

I can only answer #1..

Both of you are good, but I also miss the official brand:

  • Hive News (formerly Steem News)

@pennsif!!

I am publishing @HiveToday on a weekly basis. Publishing daily is not something I can sustain because of other commitments.

I see no harm in resuming your daily Hive News. More the merrier. I often find that I miss things.

The Expanse is quite remarkable for a series to watch. I second Jon’s recommendation here. I also enjoy the books by James Corey.

Thank you for your comments. I will be looking at the logistics for a daily service.

Do you always post HiveToday on the same day of the week?

Yes, HiveToday is always published on Saturdays.

Comment upvoted simply for recommending The Expanse! Awesome show.

Thank you - I'm on it now.

Definitely watch The Expanse!

Thank you for the recommendation.

Thanks for the responses Jon.

Now started watching The Expanse - thanks for the recommendation.

@hivetoday has become my “news magazine” go to albeit on a weekly basis. I always enjoyed your posts & would welcome more.

I love Umbrella Academy on Netflix if you haven’t given it a shot yet!

Thank you Bryan.

I have seen the adverts for Umbrella Academy - I am going to give that a watch too.

"1. Is there still a space for Hive News?"

Yes, I miss your daily Hive news - and I'd love to see it posted from the new https://leofinance.io interface too 🦁

Hi @khaleelkazi.

I haven't tried LeoFinance yet, but it looks very smart.

Would a Hive News fit in okay on LeoFinance?

Hey, yep it definitely would fit. Crypto news, financial news, project updates, etc. are what we're all about

That's sound good, thank you.

  1. I'd notice and look forward to reading again if that comes to pass
  2. One way to find out
  3. Not sure of your tastes or what's already watched. But for me, right now it's — Community, The Witcher, and The Great Pretender

Thank you - I've heard of The Witcher but not come across the other two. Are they on Netflix?

The Witcher is definitely worth a watch, especially if you like the Last Kingdom type of genre.

Or classic DnD. As the franchise is new to me, I'm not sure if it's intentional or not but at times it seems lifted directly from tropes of the 70's RPG.

Oh OK - I'm not that familiar with D an D! interesting.

Yep. Both on Netflix. I tried to reply earlier but was having some trouble with keychain or something. Glad to see you back!

yes to news please.

Thank you.

Good to see you again 🙂. Of course I would love the news

Hi Daniel. I hope all is going well.

Where were you been all these days ? We definitely need the daily news man.

  1. Absolutely "yes" to Hive News... I've been missing those reports. I don't know if anything else has taken its place.
  2. Certainly worth a try. Yes, bigger and different needs now... so perhaps needed more than ever.
  3. The Expanse. It's gritty and dystopic sci-fi, but really well done. Otherwise "Raised by Wolves," but that's an HBO thing.

Thank you for the support.

I'm into The Expanse - looks good.

  1. @hivetoday is doing weekly news. I think daily posts of that are a lot of work, as you found out. I think it needs a group of people to find the stories really.
  2. @combination are doing some charity work. I am happy to vote on charity posts, but do not really want to give away funds for now.
  3. I am catching up with Lost in Space on Netflix as I missed it before. I enjoyed Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse. Need to watch more of Star Trek: Discovery. Song Exploder is good for music nerds.

It's great to hear from you again. I was a little concerned that you dropped off the radar. I have picked up the baton with UK Hivers and have automated the process a bit. Looking like around 100 active lately as I find more and some come back. I keep an eye out for other people.

Hope you and the chickens are well. I just covered our run in netting due to the avian flu issue. May be getting a couple more birds soon. We could do with the eggs.

Wishing you the best for 2021.

Hi Steeve, thanks for the pointers re HiveToday and Combination.

Must try some more Star Trek - haven't been there for a while.

Good to hear there are still 100 active Hivians in the UK. You can +1 me there now.

Happy 2021!

My script will update you as active next month.

Maybe we will meet up again next year. Have a good one.

  1. I miss you news updates, Have you thought of putting in a proposal to the Hive fund to help you continue. It would definitely get my votes.
  2. I don't know much about this so can't answer.
  3. For the best Dystopian series just watch American mainstream media.

Thank you. Re a proposal, it could be a good time to try that again.

I enjoyed Mosul on Netflix (Arabic + English subs)

Thanks for the tip on Mosul - it looks interesting.

Yes
Yes
I would say all of Black Mirror but it is realism dystopian and even Charlie Brooker stopped making them because we are living them. We are watching Handmaid's Tale now but it is a short step from what we are living now.

Good to see you back around!

Hi there @flemingfarm - hope you are keeping well.

I've watched most of Black Mirror - must check if I have missed any - thank you for the reminder.

Great to see you back!
