It’s amazing what a few hours off on a Friday afternoon can do for one’s spirits.
@werd.io very well said. I don't have the perspective of ever having lived anywhere else, but agree completely with the idea of layers.
@adamprocter that Dreamcast version of Crazy Taxi is so good (mine still works too). A system that deserves more.
@jthingelstad Yes, I loved it. Have you read any other of Wright's books? I think I'll probably ready at least The Moral Animal for some more depth on the evolutionary psychology side of it, but I really appreciated the blending of perspectives and found it all quite convincing. Thanks for sharing your highlights! I didn't get any of my own but plan on going back through a few sections that stood out and I'll be using your post as an excellent starting point.

@bryan wow! I wonder why it's so slow. Good luck! If I go through with it I think I'll take your advice and try to break it up into smaller takeout files.
Finished reading: Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport 📚
@bryan is this from a gmail export? Or other service? Been thinking about looking into this but haven't got far into it. Curious to see how it goes.
That feeling when the deadlines were off in the distance but now they’re right here. And they’ve multiplied!
Amazing clip from yesterday’s Fox MLB broadcast at Rickwood Field in Birmingham. Reggie Jackson given an uninterrupted chance to describe his experience playing there. It’s so rare to see this kind of truth in modern sports broadcasts, but Mr. October has always been able to seize a moment. ⚾️
@TheMacPsych yeah. I'm a bit worried about this one as I haven't seen much chatter about it.
@nsmsn glad that they made good on that. And cool for all Mets fans forever to have that piece of history.
@Gabz what a beautiful, weird show. I love shows like this that feel completely unique.
@TheMacPsych I also loved this show. Very much hoping for additional seasons in the future.
@jthingelstad that looks super tasty

blog.brseybert.com@jthingelstad I feel like I can almost hear it from that shot. Nice.
@mangochutney First time I've heard this but I love it.
Finished reading: This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar 📚
📺 Finished the second season of From on MGM+ yesterday (until a couple weeks ago, when we signed up for a free trial to specifically watch this show, I had never heard of this service) and found it really interesting. Like Lost, but horror (Harold Perrineau, even!)
brett.micro.blog@danielpunkass a truly great song.
@anniegreens there were two separate livestream links that were both broadcasting -- one the slideshow and one with manton and jean. I think they've stopped and there's nothing happening for the moment.
@mandaris ugh bummer. I'm in a relatively steady state of anxiety about breaking mine ... seems pretty fragile, despite the marketing.
@adam ha! Yeah... I noticed you had a little spillover with Radiohead which is definitely fair.
@mandaris oh no! Did it fall (or get fallen on)? Or was this from temperature or something?
@gregmoore 😍😍😍 wow!
@adam I am also very much looking forward to The Acolyte, and your post reminded me of how close that is! I might need to move forward my Ahsoka plans...
@adam I have not yet watched Ahsoka, but plan to this summer. I'll let you know how it lands.
