Hey, friends! Do you supervise people who have taken a sabbatical? My wife wants to talk to you!

She needs a couple more women to interview for her dissertation so that it's not dominated by dudes. The interviews are short, done remotely, and don't get into super-seekrit stuff about your organization.

Contact @SheilaDee or send me a direct message and I'll put you in touch

Boosts appreciated, as are direct referrals to women you know who'd be perfect!

Someone needs to write a bot that auto replies every time a journalist refers to 👉 Trump’s criminal fraud and election-subversion trial 👈 as “hush money.”

Do better, journalists. Leave the salacious headlines alone, focus less on the adult-industry person involved, and call the case by what the American people need to hear. Please?

So far, I’ve seen no one disappear at the #Arizona Science Center as we watch the #eclipse together outside. That either means we’re all heathens, or the #rapture is bullshit.

Oh! Just did my first suspension as an admin of a Mastodon server. I feel like I've arrived!

As a 50+ cisgenderd heterosexual white male US-citizen with zero religious convictions, I have a message for all the students protesting what’s happening in Gaza, so listen closely, youngsters:

Keep it up. ✊

I started watching 3 Body on Netflix last night and am shifting my expectations.

I loved the books. Read them all, then listened to the audiobooks—a highly recommended activity!

I also watched the 30 episode Tencent TV series from China, which was very true to the source material and VERY Chinese. Can imaging that’s a good intro to Western audiences who are unfamiliar.

Netflix’s version is a reimagining, for sure. Final judgment held in reserve.

I questioned my own sanity when I decided to make Sunday the publishing day of my podcast, Binge-Listen. Yes, it coincides with #AudioDramaSunday, but I really don't like doing much work on the weekends.

So far, that's not been a big deal, as the number of shows concluding or finale-ing the prior week that also have trailers for those series conclusions or season finales is woefully small. And this week, there was only one. 🤷‍♂️

People complain about the unpleasant weather where they live.

I get it. Snow and ice suck.

But few will know the pain of it being 34°C (92°F) with bright blue skies outside but the pool temp remains right around that of liquid nitrogen.

🥵☀️ 🥶🏊‍♀️ 🤷🌵

My motivation for #today is the same as it is on any Thursday: get the weekly newsletter for @theendupdates out the door this afternoon.

Then I meet with a new client—and a brand new service offering! Details to come.

And then the last full workout with the trainer for the week.

And after all of that, I’ll listen to a few more episodes of @lovetalker from @wkeithtims.

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:

A reminder that mega corporations—including Google—are not your friend. Not as consumers. Not as employees. So no, podcaster, Google isn’t your friend either.

Watch as they lay off union-represented employees from their YouTube Music team while that team is actively petitioning in front of Austin’s City Council.

Dicks.

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.

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.

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.

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: 🤨
