heya - not sure if it's intentional, but i went to your blog today (i'm sharing a link to one of your articles), and noticed i can't find your actual name _anywhere_. as you share it here, is there a reason why it's not shared on your blog? i'll assume there is and not share your name

Happy Not Really Friday but Kinda Is (lucky for me). I discovered this song playing Just Dance a few years ago and it became my jam. Had the family high score for it. (And yes, I look ridiculous dancing, which is the point, right?)

Authors - are yall getting spam related to your books, ie marketing it, making a web page for it, etc? I haven't published a new book in a while, so I'm assuming scammers are just scraping Amazon.

The major vibe shift between Trump 1.0 and Trump 2.0 is that in the 2010s, companies embraced DEI to signal they weren’t as racist as his government whereas now they abandon DEI to signal to him that they are just as racist as he is.

My OSX doc is on a large monitor, but sometimes would pop up on the smaller screen. Apparently this happens if your mouse drifts towards the bottom of the screen and is expected. I use Spotify on the other screen and now it makes sense.
