Was just thinking about how I read "The Game of Thrones" as a junior in high school. It's my 44th birthday.
Finish the series, George.

Priest. Normie posts. If I want to hear theories on economics, I'll read a book.
The whole "Biden didn't sign it" and "Biden was coherced" storyline is a wild gambit when you'll see him speak about it later in the week.

Bob Newhart was one of those familiars from the past. You remember the familiars, even if they were in the background. My parents watched his show, though I at that age was never a fan; Bob would come on Johnny Carson and I'd see him at night with my grandpa, as we both dozed.
As time goes on you lose the familiars, more and more of the anchor points that establish relationship with the world around you. Family dies, and it leaves a hole you can't articulate even if you gather the strength to look at it directly.
And at some point, you realize the twilight of your youth set a long while ago, all while you weren't looking.
The luddite communities in the future will be amazing. Shunning tech, they will essentially shun connection. And shunning connection, the art they will create!
Friday Suggestion: Put the Kiddos to bed, then play one of the best albums you've never heard.
Chicago lost one of its own. RIP Bob Newhart.

Ignoring all the technical frustrations I have with it, my biggest problem with Bluesky is the unnecessary character limit. It only existed on OG Twitter out of necessity, and there's no need for it now. I saw Jack groan over it before he deleted his account.
Power was down for about 26 hours. Not bad, given the size of our town in relation to the scope of damage across Chicagoland. Glad my seniors aren't roasting in Illinois humidity today.
My dream for Star Wars: (1) Disney sells off Lucas Film to recoup at least a little of what they've lost on buying it (2) New IP owner restores "Legends" canon, brackets and discards everything Disney has their name on.
I know it's just a dream. A nerd's dream. But it's my dream.
Would I watch another season of "The Acolyte?" Of course.
Should they cut their losses and never make another season of "The Acolyte?" Also of course.
The longer this goes on, the more I'm convinced the shooter was simply psychotic: overly political people can't help but leave a trail across the public Internet, much as I cannot resist baseball posting.
Damus Notedeck is going to be great. Looking forward to it!
Carl Perkins was so cool, and you don't even know.
Latest build of Nostur for macOS looking good.
MrBeast video consumed. I have been dispensed my nutrition pellets for the week, and the system has now cleared me to watch baseball.
One for the "Nostr is inevitable" file.

Today, the Commission has informed X of its preliminary view that it is in breach of the Digital Services Act (DSA) in areas linked to dark pattern...
Thinking about my buddy Travis Stanley on his birthday. Classmate for four years, roommate at UIUC, same Scout troop. I hated cancer before it took him when we were 28, and I haven't gained any love for it since.
The way Primal incorporates a wallet is beyond cool. But never forget: BTC/crypto as a touted feature of Nostr will always be a hindrance to growth, not a help.
