I slowly became good at a sort of GTD style of managing my email inbox. Not quite Inbox Zero, but a healthy total count can be managed on a hand or two. Not as good with browser tabs. Painfully declaring tab bankruptcy today. All those novel links, essays, news articles… ‘til we meet again.

This’ll do.
A lot of security in my neighborhood (or the adjacent one, anyway), including out of town police known for instigating violence with demonstrators, to protect a war criminal running out on a international warrant for his arrest.
Here we go… hold on tight!
Me: I don’t like this timeline man. Not a new thought, but I tried to make peace with it and find sources of optimism or outcomes to hope for and angle towards and fuck fuck fuck.
Friend: Yup. 110%.
Caught up with the most recent episode of Maron’s podcast & enjoyed the bit in his usual rambling opening where he called out Trump on not citing his sources, being a coward for not giving credit to Hitler.
A good trick is not being too high on being present, when one is lucky enough to experience that, to not capitalize on what you might notice.
I don’t think I’ve learned that trick yet.
I haven’t been to a punk show in a while, let alone one at 9:30 in the morning. It was of course, all ages—and my Childe’s school Spring Pre-K/Kindergarten concert.

@manton I'd love to be able to see cross-posting & categories simultaneously and let them stay visible for a new post if I left either or both visible the past time I authored and posted.
@Meyerweb Got the same. Blogger was my first ‘CMS.’ When it was Pyra’s my login was my first name.
@danielpunkass www.space.com/average-c... ... dunno man. Maybe the less black their space black is the more realistic it is. 😉
@danielpunkass I made a lemongrass chicken recipe for us and our company tonight and totally forgot to add the dressing that carried all the heat from the peppers. In my defense the recipe had 3 sauce/dressing mixes in it it. I commented on the lack of heat, hauled out the sriracha and then realized my mistake. 🤦🏻♂️ All involved need to give this “restaurant” another shot.
Or I just shouldn’t try to make Vietnamese food.
@danielpunkass amen.
@danielpunkass That dates you pretty specifically for me, because as a high school Apple fanboy, I remember that promotion (and the James Bond cross-promotions around then too).
@danielpunkass besides, you know, my web browser(s) (and text editors), I am realizing that a ~20 year old blogging client and a ~20 year old RSS reader (with a certain shared heritage) are two of my most valuable Internet clients/applications. Both of which I've used (inconsistently) across their entire lifespan. Thanks for keeping this one alive.
@danielpunkass Rai Rai Ken for ramen if youre in the mood and without other special food plans. 218 E 10th Street.
@purisubzi There's something beautiful about that kind of juxtaposition, as a transportation system threads through the natural world.
@manton "The common digital “square” should be the entire web, with a diverse set of platforms. There should be common APIs but many communities with their own rules, goals, and business models." Agreed.
@odd He was definitely focused on Vietnam, because I think he had a sense of civic responsibility about what was happening then, but I don't think he'd have limited it to that given how foreign policy continued past his assassination. I didn't mean to imply he was glossing over anything!
I just appreciated that animation as an illustration of the evolution of misguided men and guided missiles.
@danielpunkass Amen. I'm pretty privileged, but one reason I am not doing any of the things I slowly figured out I want to do is I can't afford the risk to my family. And I know so many talented, hard-working people who aren't even getting their basic needs met.
@manton Nice. I'd like the native option to share location here, when so moved.
Some non sequiturs: thanks for open sourcing the apps! (they're learning tools for me, as a rusty developer turned manager-and not yet a Mac dev, blemishes and all); and, not like there's any reason for it to matter but you were in my neighborhood (or adjacent) when you swung through DC. Hope you enjoyed the city. There's a lot to it, getting a mini local routine is the way to begin to see that!
