I think I’ve been trying to put into words how I’ve been feeling about social media lately, and I think the best comparison I can make is to the simple pancake.

Easy to make. Filling, but limited.

Flat discussions leave us full and bloated.

@greatquux @tedium we recently did berries and peanut butter in place of syrup. That worked out well.
