This is the least excited I’ve ever been about a World Cup, and it’s on my own continent!
I’d completely forgotten about Julius Summer Miller’s old physics videos. Used to watch them all the time on PBS!
“Gentlemen, for the first 60 feet, that was a hell of a pitch.” Warren Spahn, joking about allowing Willie Mays his first Major League hit, a home run.
Do you believe you can change? Why or why not?
Finally finished “Against the Machine” by Paul Kingsnorth. Overall, I think he’s right. But, wow, he goes full “crazy right-wing uncle” in a few spots. Multiple COVID rants. Nothing about the tech-supported rise of right-wing fascism.
You know you’re not in your 20s anymore when finishing a sporting event without a new injury feels like a win, no matter what the score was! (We lost by one goal in overtime, but my ankles held-up OK without getting re-sprained)
The USA healthcare and health insurance industrial complex is truly a hellscape of greed and structural sin.
Parents! We’ve got 3yo, 5yo, and 7yo. I’m intrigued by “Mindset Decks” to help teach/cue things like grit, emotional intelligence, and good manners. Anyone out there used Mindset Decks? Thoughts? Any other cue/reminder tools you’ve found helpful in the day-to-day of parenting?
They said you sound like an owl.
Installing Ubuntu 26.04 LTS on my 2016 MacBook Pro (13,1 without a Touch Bar). Looks like Obsidian, VS Code, and Warp Terminal shouldn’t be a problem. But I’ll miss Drafts very much on that machine. Any recommended Linux alternatives for Drafts?
My toxic trait is that it really, really bugs me that my wife is faster than I am.
Which RSS feeds out there are you particularly glad you’re subscribed to?
“America Reads the Bible”? Oh really? Is she taking care of the widow, orphan, and immigrant yet?
Am I still a priest?
I left the ACNA in 2023. Just received my Letters Dimissory. But I still can’t decide if ordination conferred something real and permanent, or if it was only ever a jurisdictional authorization.
What say you?
