I don’t know, guys. I just don’t know if we’re going to be able to “both sides” our way out of (gestures broadly)…all this.

Do any of you use a digital privacy data removal service? If so, have you found it worth the cost? Do you have an individual or a family plan? I’m considering DeleteMe but I’m on the fence.

I wonder what kind of abuse/shame/disgrace (ὀνειδισμὸν, Hebrews 13:13) Christians ought to endure today, “outside the camp,” for the sake of the world? Solidarity with immigrants and refugees is the first thing that comes to mind.

A passage from Hebrews 13:12-14 urges believers to endure hardships for their faith, focusing on the eternal city to come rather than the temporary one.

6:30AM and it’s 71F, 90% humidity. Summer can be done any day now!

No, not Dolly Parton! Sigh.

I really want to get a Concept 2 RowErg rowing machine someday. Does anyone in my online circles have one? Is it worth the high price?

Just watched “Remarkably Bright Creatures” and really enjoyed it. Haven’t read the book, but my wife has, and I’m glad she convinced me to watch it.

I’m looking for audiobook recommendations that I can listen to while running.

Do you use an E-Reader? If so, what make/model? Kindle? Kobo? Something else? I’ve got a Kindle Paperwhite 10th Generation and I’m considering leaving the Kindle ecosystem. Needs to play well with public library offerings.

What self-help, improve-your-life-in-some-way books are worth reading in their entirety?

YIKES to this GitHub incident/outage/degradation this morning. Definitely slowing down my day job as a dev. Where else are people putting their code these days?

Not even 6am and it’s 72F, 92% humidity. Fall, come quickly! 🍂🍁🍂🍁

For most people, the fall of the Roman Empire simply meant that, one day, no one showed up to fix the broken bridge or road. Or, in our case, the trash just wasn’t picked up this week. 🫠

Homeowners! Do you own a generator? If so, what kind/size and are you glad you own one?

TIL: “acme” means “highest point of something” and not just Wile E. Coyote’s favorite place to shop 😂

If I were leading a Bible study, and I didn’t want to write stuff myself, my starting points would be the BibleProject and the “… for Everyone” series by Goldingay/Wright. What other accessible resources are worth checking out? (Note: not interested in fundie/conservative evangelical)

Almost can’t describe how much I hate AI video ads.

All this year: Shin splints, appendicitis, ankle injury, quad injury, and now something that feels a lot like a stress reaction I had in college, near where my 5th metatarsal meets the cuboid. It’s like my body doesn’t want me to get back in shape 🫠

Scylla AND Charybdis? In this economy??

Hoo boy, Emily Wilson, famed translator of The Odyssey, did NOT like the Nolan film. I think she’s being largely unfair here, but some interesting pushback nonetheless. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper…
