Q: How does the Epoch Times make money?
A: Fraud.

The publishers of the Epoch Times, a conspiracy-mongering right wing newspaper, have been charged with a $67 million global money laundering scheme involving crypto, fraudulent unemployment insurance benefits, and stolen personal identification information.

I just finished the book Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. (I haven't seen the Apple series.) At first I didn't like it--the beginning felt a bit meanspirited. And much of the rest is the book is pretty dark, but in the end, it's a thoughtful story. Like all good sci-fi, it's not about the science but about our humanity and how our choices make us who we are. If you enjoy interesting sci-fi that isn't afraid to explore the dark corners of humanity, you might enjoy Dark Matter. https://search.app.goo.gl/oEbE5g1

Pay Sakak is a shitty human being but it was sad to see his last episode of Wheel yesterday. I can’t remember a day when he wasn’t on that show. I was 2 years old when he started it (im 45 today)

There are 35,0xx people at the Chicago Red Stars women’s soccer game at Wrigley Field. That is over 24,000 more than the Chicago Fire men’s game we were at last week and I’m here for it.

I had the best sandwich I’ve had in years. Smoked Italian beef at a random bar by Wrigley Field. It was amazing.

The unofficial Linux Focusrite app for my new Scarlett upgrade seems to work better than the official Mac app for the device.

Changing contexts entirely every 30 minutes, on average, during an average work day doesn't make for a great environment to get focus work done.

It's storming outside this morning. I find it rather peaceful for sleep but, so much for our morning walk.

Nothing like another $8,000 bill to fix perfectly good electrical at the house we’re selling because insurance demands it now.

The most annoying thing about Apple Music is when the insert fucking music videos at the end of albums.

My old #Belkin Boostcharge Pro 3-in-1 MagSafe charger died. 💀

Now looking something to replace it.

Any recommendations?

I want MagSafe setup that supports iPhone’s standby mode. And 3-in-1 because I want to keep my phone/watch/airpods charging setup neat.
