Like so many others, my Kindle is now trying to sell me AI generated slop on the lock screen, such as this Southern Reach For Kids adventure. What utter valueless shit.
Our plums are starting to ripen Some have already been claimed by the ants and squirrels, but we go to these ripe beauties yesterday and tried them — and wow, they’re delicious! Can’t wait for more.
Waiting on my breakfast order on a beautiful Sunday morning.
@peroty It’s so great! Amid pushback on incentives for renewable energy in a lot of places (before we left, AZ had really gutted them), people should be shouting endlessly about how empowering (I know there’s a pun here) it feels to make your own electricity.
We’ve been in our place for a couple of months before finding that the solar system wasn’t producing any power. One quick visit from a tech and we are making energy from the sky. Yesterday’s production was a little less than twice our monthly average in the previous billing period. I am STOKED.
@cleverdevil Where does that thing get stored??
The sun is up late, and so is the high temperature we’re making our way through. Sunset is a beautiful and somewhat cooler time to get out for a walk through the neighborhood.
I had a pretty good time getting to the gilded title again in this week’s Iron Banner, the first of this newest The Final Shape expansion.
Biking home from the market, enjoying the still-cool still-early feel of the morning.
I reconnected with my first college roommate at the neighborhood pub the other day. Feels great to be near old friends, again, and I’m grateful that it feels so good to be in touch after a lot of years.
Love to have garbage air quality and a still-terrified dog after a night of fireworks before a heat wave. So much for cooling down the house for a few hours while it’s nice out.
@cleverdevil Fingers crossed to that repudiation of the fascists. And — happy Independence Day!
A couple of trees I appreciated on a walk at the park the other day.
Among of the things I’m struggling with is that they’re doing this for someone who is, manifestly, one of the worst people in the world, staggeringly uncaring about his own legal and constitutional obligations, and they seem utterly untroubled by the implications of that.
Here’s a good view of the X100VI menu system.

What’s this in my inbox? Notification from PayPal that my X100VI is on the way? 🎉
Libby now checks all libraries linked to an account with a single search!
Went to the neighborhood summer festival, sat and talked with great friends and had a big burrito. A-plus Sunday.
Bike blog #2: rode out this morning for a light grocery pickup and, of course, a little breakfast.
I got out for a bike ride around the neighborhood last evening. Lakeside parks were full of swimmers and picnickers out to enjoy the end of this warm summer day. What a great way to enjoy closing out my own work week!
@dynamitemoth Glad you’re on the better side of this experience, and I hope you keep improving.
@Winship I haven’t decided on one, yet. The shop I visited sells all Bosch drivetrains and controllers, so I could compare across several styles with a lot of common elements, including their system 3 and 3 controllers. I think I’m with you: my first one will only be my first one — I’m eager to prove it out and get the whole family eventually on board. What are you riding?
@adam As a dad of a trans kid, I was so disappointed to see that unfold a couple of weeks ago, and am deeply appreciative of how you stand up in your spaces. Thanks.
@Lutheran Great to hear! I’m really happy with how good it felt. I’m a longtime mountain biker but this is a whole different and empowering thing.
Look at this absolute unit of a squirrel, eating all my cherries.
Anniversary brunch pizza from the neighborhood place! (For the win)
I’m hoping to replace as many of my grocery and around-town trips with a bike, and I tried out some e-bikes yesterday. This was really fun.
@pratik I was reading coverage of this over on Bluesky and was kind of rapt. I don’t know cricket at all, but this seems like an exciting win!
@bradbarrish It looks like such a great event this year. I've always wanted to go.
@cleverdevil I saw this yesterday, too, and am really heartened by it.
@KimberlyHirsh This is exciting!
@jessekelber I’d enjoy meeting sometime! Will let you know when we get a little settled. Today we’re trying to unpack AND get back to work…
@jessekelber Hi Jesse! I’ve just moved here — spent a couple nights in the hotel while we begin to unpack, and starting today we’re full time in the new place. It’s a journey! My friend says it’s a little soon to say I’m “from here,” though :)
The hotel is good! It’s a little weird since it has two hotels in one building and they share some facilities. But it’s a good place to stay when you need a small kitchen and are traveling with a dog.
@dynamitemoth Wow, awe-inspiring!
@jayeless Oooh, the new OLED models look really good! I’ve had mine for a little over a year and am super happy with it. It also works great with streaming services like Xbox’s cloud gaming and GeForce Now, which opens up a ton of other options. You’re going to really enjoy it!
@pratik I just started experimenting with Space Capsule for managing Spaces. The Apple API is pretty limited, but it does let you name spaces and see them in a grid. I really love Ryan Hanson's other apps like Rectangle, and I'll see how this one sticks for me. spacecapsule.app
