I eventually had to give up on it because Dawkins came across as such an egotistical jerk, and, much like you, I found his writing to be repetitive and laborious ad nauseum.<br/><br/>My decision to give up on the book was only solidified by reading his Wikipedia article.

Most YouTubers play on the original version of Minecraft which is only available on PC and is called the &#39;Java Edition&#39;. Both codebases are developed and maintain relative parity while getting the same updates. Some specific things might not work, and far less mods are available for the bedrock version, but they&#39;re largely the same. <br/> <br/>When I was young, Stampy was a go-to of mine. His [Stampy&#39;s Lovely World](<a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEZiAg2bYC7ngh-_Z_ruvzSfn1KPQRL5V">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEZiAg2bYC7ngh-_Z_ruvzSfn1KPQRL5V</a>) series is scripted, kid friendly, respectable, and long-running. He also created an educational children&#39;s series titled [Wonder Quest](<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonder_Quest">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonder_Quest</a>). You *might* find his voice and laughter a tad grating. <br/> <br/>More recent active creators I&#39;m familiar with include [Grian](<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Grian">https://www.youtube.com/@Grian</a>) and [Mumbo Jumbo](<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@ThatMumboJumbo">https://www.youtube.com/@ThatMumboJumbo</a>). Both are active and members of a large community Minecraft multiplayer sever titled &#39;Hermitcraft&#39;. Hermitcraft Season 11 is about to start very soon (Nov 8th). The seasons are all independent of one another, and while there are callbacks to older ones, one needn&#39;t have watched them for a full experience. <br/> <br/>There are a wide assortment of members of the Hermitcraft server. Some are targeted towards younger viewers, and some are more targeted towards mature viewers (though aren&#39;t adult in nature). Watching some of the more mature YouTubers creating content on the server could give you a common ground with your kids if you&#39;re so inclined. <br/> <br/>Grian is rather mischievous and focuses much more on building, and Mumbo Jumbo is much more into redstone, which is the technical/engineering part of Minecraft. Both are family friendly and have large backlogs. <br/> <br/>Happy to answer further questions and provide more recommendations if needed. 2025-11-03T05:59:44Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsydyfl8w2auhslhsfpm4pvau84xx8s6m4jcwdl7c2tykr72maptzgzypxrgkdf9gl8ndp4x8u5p6mhksum069c2nfs26p5sxm3fsuks8n5j493nju In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsq79fj65uvuf7ng2awwlk639szh65uz9zuxtu9fwf3gv6ezw7nzdgkxyfqh'>nevent1q…yfqh</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Ah, this is what I get for quickly testing with other WebKit browsers rather than actual Safari.

I wish I had a slick little syndication step, though, as I also manually mirror my posts to my site.<br/><br/>Part of why I haven&#39;t automated things (beyond it being difficult) is because sometimes I change things to better fit the platform. Notably, I&#39;ll cut things off or shorten phrasing on Bluesky and be more verbose with fancier markup on my site.<br/><br/>I&#39;d like people to be able to hang out where they want to, with the best experience they can have. My only worry is that I might be annoying to people following on multiple platforms, or the people I&#39;m replying to. 2025-01-17T00:12:15Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsptqur06dx7k2rkgn9t88eautrkmzcqxp42zs029g50j45wmtrf6gzypxrgkdf9gl8ndp4x8u5p6mhksum069c2nfs26p5sxm3fsuks8n5j0f63w7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsztqys4sva0fd9v5nmcu95samkmyy5hu5z90ta0ncphvet6flkgnqpr6as4'>nevent1q…6as4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Nice Rolodex!
