🎶 It’s wild to think that all of these Zao albums came out within three years, each being a masterpiece of hardcore/proto-metalcore.

Banking fragility is kinda like inflation: hyping it is largely what makes it true.

But our news ecosystem design encourages making these stories viral.

⚽️ another example of the offsides rule doing nothing beneficial for the game.

He wasn’t hanging out at the other end of the pitch. When he got the ball others were farther ahead than him, but onside.

Silly amount of waste. #ElClasico

📑 Sunday Quote:

"• To make mistakes is human. To own your mistakes is divine. Nothing elevates a person higher than quickly admitting and taking personal responsibility for the mistakes you make and then fixing them fairly. If you mess up, fess up. It’s astounding how powerful this ownership is." (KEVIN KELLY, 68 Bits of Unsolicited Advice)

White Male Fear: The Insecurity Behind Hunting Culture

We saw some 🦌 this morning and my friend reflected that “white tail deer” sounds like “white male fear”, so here’s an es...

🎶 Furnace Fest is looking pretty rad.

Also….TFU? I’ve been dreaming of a Demon Hunter show where they are like “nah, we’re gonna do some TFU stuff”.

Beautiful springwinter here this morning:

What odds would you put on Google failing in < 5 years?

They’ve killed everything interesting they’ve created (reader, wave, music, etc.). Search has become near-worthless. Prices keep jacking up. They’ve bled a lot of great talent.

Maybe an AI Hail Mary. What am I missing?

📺 interesting! Axios Streaming Optimizer to figure out when you could turn on and off services based on which shows you watch.

Disclosure: my employer owns Axios.

oh no, I’m now looking at capacities app.

I really appreciate that they built in robust backup and export from the start.

⚽️ Sure you could rehire #Berhalter but just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.

He’s not the calibre of coach the team needs for the next part of the #USMNT journey. He’s shown that a number of ways.

I guess you could say DST is going pretty well.

Had restless sleep and nightmares about work and covid.

⚽️ not sure #IXI really earned that stoppage-time penalty, but glad it worked out to claw a draw. #USL

⚽️ are you ready for some futbol? 🎶

The #USL starts tonight and my #IXI are away.

Using @netnewswire and @sod’s “conversation on micro.blog” version of feeds is by far the best way to read “the timeline”.

Don’t lose my place. Don’t check too often because I know it will be there waiting for me when I am ready. Can quickly go to the right spot to reply.

  1. Post a great album with no explanation.
  2. Tag others to do the same.

📚📑 Another goodie from Death to Deconstruction.

"The story of Jesus speaks to me because, in one scene, Jesus is lovingly blessing little kids, and in another, he’s calling religious leaders a bunch of snakes. Jesus’s paradigm for God is of a gracious, loving Father who kisses the faces of his sinful, rebellious children, but the seriousness with which he regards evil is so intense that he says it’s better to gouge your own eye out than to objectify women. One thing makes me gush. The other makes me nervous. I’m suspicious of voices that only tell me what I want to hear. 
&10;
&10;Were it me, I might emphasize one thing, but not the other. I’d conceive of a God who is either never angry or never not angry. A soft, enabling God who doesn’t care enough to stop me from destroying myself, or a God so appalled at my relentless failure that he can’t bear to look at me without retching. But in Jesus, our soul-longings to be known and loved, for an end to evil and injustice are realized in the unfathomable beauty of truly self-sacrificial love." (Joshua S. Porter, Death to Deconstruction)
