Out of idle curiosity, did anyone I know make it more than 20 minutes into Atlas (JLo scifi movie on Netflix)?

Apparently that’s ghetto maximum time I can look like this at my screen: 🤨

That’s enough of this week.

Settling in to the 4th season of Malevolent with a NA beer in hand. This shall be my main occupation through the long weekend, methinks.

I’m doing my part to improve the fiction podcast listener experience. Because most podcast listening apps really, really suck at presenting audio fiction to listeners.

But "most" does not mean “all.” In fact, some—five, to be specific—get most of the little things right. And recently, I decided to highlight those apps in all the applicable show pages on TheEnd.fyi, going so far as to provide deep links to the show selected in each of those apps, using this banner:

More soy toots: when you buy soy sauce look at the ingredient list and label.

If it has ‘hydrolyzed soy protein’, it’ll be roughly the same quality as ‘cheap Chinese restaurant takeout soy sauce packets’. Soy sauce made from chemical processes. It doesn’t taste good to me and is usually amped up with sugar.

If it just says ‘soy beans’, and the label says ‘naturally brewed’ or ‘naturally fermented’ or ‘first draw soy sauce’ it will be pretty good.

Ah, the joy of waking up to backed-up toilets and showers that worsen as other condo residents awaken. There's now standing water in both bathrooms headed to the carpeted areas.

[sigh]

Plumber dispatched.

Someone referred to Jack Dorsey as Blockchain Rasputin and I am here for it.

It's 40 minutes until the #Panthers and #Bruins resume their fisticuffs and tussling under the auspices of playing a game of hockey.

I may have stopped by the liquor store to stock up, because I'm not yet drunk enough to handle it.

I will soon turn 56, and these are exactly the kinds of things I want in my neighborhood. https://wandering.shop/@cstross/112417393166304186

Yes! I’m returning to the States for a week or so in September. If you’d like to meet up I’m trying to gauge interest as to where and when. Details here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/arizona-2024-103650329

I finished mowing the lawn despite the persistent drizzle. My cursory research suggested most of the problems with mowing a wet lawn are mitigated by my use of an unpowered, reel mower. I set the blades at their highest. I only wanted to stop the tallest stalks from going to seed.

The forecast is for rain most of the week. Our lawn folks won't come until it has dried out. My rough cut should be good enough until then.

🥱 Just off an hour+ stint as a guest on a podcast that started at 5:30a my time.

Video was also recorded, so I put on a hat to cover my bed-head.

But if you think I wore pants, you don't know me very well.

Popping in to catch up on the news and see that Dems are once again imploding and likely tanking their November chances by failing to seize the moment to throw their full support behind angry students.

Something something, history rhymes.

I concur with this sentiment, but wish more celebrated the ☠️ death ☠️ and less the “he had some good ideas” shit that somehow doesn’t make those who say that out loud immediate and forever social pariahs. https://mastodon.social/

Shit. Just realized my growing sense of dread has turned me into a reply-guy.

Shit.

Note to self: Less commenting. More liking and boosting.

As I catch up on today’s proceedings in Trump’s criminal fraud and election subversion trial, I’m struck with a notion:

The judicial processes, much like the scientific method, is not a spectator sport.

Oof. I didn’t check Mastodon all day. And now I’m facing 330+ messages. And that’s just in one list.

I blame Trump.

No, really. 90% of the updates will be from his day in court.

Today begins the day of deGoogling. It'll take me more than a day. But I'm on it.

The best thing about moving off an email platform/address you've used for close to two decades is deleting everything you should have deleted over those two decades.
