The more I play with the new Reeder, the more I feel like it’s best for slow moving feeds, like personal blogs, YouTube feeds I want to monitor more closely, and comic strips. Things that update a few times a day max.

@pratik Is there a way to see if there's a set from a profile page? It's not obvious to me if there is.

I want a monitor stand with shelves similar to what Grovemade sells that doesn’t push $300. Frankly, I wish I could make my own. But, I don’t have the tools or the patience for something like this.

Pro tip: if you watch MLB games on Fox through MLB.TV, you’ll avoid all the political ads and annoying pharmaceutical commercials.

ESPN Will Vie for Local Sports Rights - Variety
ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro, speaking to reporters Wednesday at the Disney sports giant’s headquarters here, said that the company has suggested to sports leagues and leaders that it could help distribute games to specific markets through its streaming properties – including a new full-ESPN streaming product that it expects to launch at around this time in 2025.

Do I try Obsidian again? I just watched a video on it and I’m feeling the pull again. Just like Apple Notes, I love there’s a folder structure. But, being able to write in Markdown is much more attractive to me.

When you have a lot to do, it’s nice to have a realistic boss who can say “control what you can control”. I can deal with that.

My cousin recently asked me why I want to move to the PNW. I told him I hate heat. Case in point today:
I just want to comfortably open a window every once in a while.

@pratik I'm off and on with the fediverse thing with Micro.blog. Most of the time, I'm the only one following. The most I've had is four followers there. I figure folks are following me on Mastodon proper instead.

@pratik That amazes me about Texas, especially with Houston in the mix. You look at the Pacific coast states, basically one or two metro areas dominate the politics. I’ll be shocked the day Washington State has a Republican governor.
Even here, the majority of the population lives in or around Omaha or Lincoln. There’s a couple threats to red seats here with Don Bacon and Deb Fischer getting some heat. Nebraska is one of two states (Maine being the other) who don’t do winner take all in the electoral college, and there’s a strong chance at a couple of those votes going blue here in November. Unfortunately there’s powers that be who still have control of their situations, like those at UNL. But, there’s signs some folks are getting a little sick of GOP politics here in places where they’ve always aligned.

@aa I recently canceled Trade because I ended up with a backlog of coffee. I don’t really feel like I have the room to roast my own, since I’m in an apartment. But, I’ve decided to support local going forward, for the most part. Even if I buy a $16 bag of beans, I still get far more value out of that than if I had someone else make a cup for me.
