Post a random picture of everything else will go bad in July.

The most underrated thing about baking is walking back in and smelling what you’re making. 🤗

I have a soft spot for both Thérèse of Lisieux and Friedrich Nietzsche, but this Karl Stern article is wonderful: www.plough.com/en/topics/li...

It appears that people like 4x3... Special treat for Bluesky users today :-) (Click the hub word after you finish the puzzle.) Bit of a tricky puzzle today though! www.hankgreen.com/fourbythree

Took advantage of the weather to grill our dinner 3 times this week. Feels good man.

By @oalannoble.bsky.social > Because of the Fall, we are all broken in one way or another. All of us suffer in this life. All of us face struggles and setbacks. You are not alone in that. You should not feel ashamed or unique or different. Before God, you are not broken. You are redeemed.

Watched a bee go from clover to clover, each time it landed clouds of pollen puffed off in a cloud. The sunlight hit it just right. If Monday must exist this is a good way to start it.

Because MLB has a few dominant teams, and few true stinkers, the Nationals are tied for 11th-best record, and are 1 win from being tied for 7th! #donotsell

movies?

Currently listening to 2 audiobooks narrated by @adamverner.bsky.social in the same car at the same time! (Kids listening to Genius Files #2 on the speakers while I listen to You are Not Your Own on headphones.)

Fun thread

> Grogu is a dud non-character invented only for laptop stickers. He possesses enough force energy to solve all the film’s narrative dilemmas but only intervenes during the climax because, well, that is his cue. As the actual Yoda would say, “No sense it makes! For the mentally weak, is this film?”

Lotta work has been done about the “spiritual but not religious.” I find the “religious but not spiritual“ folks more interesting sociologically. I think they make up a much larger % of Americans than we realize: folks for whom religious identity, symbols, & rituals matter, but not God-connection.

PS: I accidentally misread “almoner” as “armorer” the first time I read this. That would be a pretty metal job

> God gives meaning to everything. To live as if He did not exist means depriving ourselves of the only possibility of hope, of full happiness. What are the steps? How should we proceed? First: live in humility. Second: nurture prayer. Third: cultivate compassion-literally, “to suffer together”.

I gotta say, after seeing these pictures from the Mets gala, I can see why these guys aren’t winning many ball games

richard dawkins has always had AI psychosis, it just took till now for the tech to catch up

Watched SPEED RACER in theaters with the whole fam last night. 11 y/o proclaimed it a W movie. The sound mix was horrible though. Wonder if it was just the theater. (Xscape Brandywine-stay away if you can)

> [An anti-smoking] advocate told CBS News that she “agrees that coldcocking a cop isn't the best way to quit cold turkey.” ... > As for Deputy Campoy, he took the whole thing in stride. "I've been telling everybody that I have a new Irish name," he told reporters. "Nick O'Derm."

Every few years I like to rewatch this video, as a refreshing look at simpler times. The best thing I ever saw Jon Stewart do. www.reddit.com/r/JonStewart...

Heart attack Nats

Final: Nationals 8, Brewers 6 The two best offenses in MLB belong to the L.A. Dodgers and the Washington Nationals. No Nats team has ever scored this many runs (89) over its first 15 games. Today, 3 players had an RBI off the bench. Survived 4 HRs. Swept Milwaukee. Record: 7-8

This article mainly succeeds in making me more curious about what Vieteck did to offend doctrinal conservatism so completely… I hadn’t heard of him before but his thought seems compelling and his poetry even more so.

> The real trouble, according to the leading techno-optimist Clay Shirky, wasn't information overload, but "filter failure". We needed more sophisticated ways to filter the wheat from the online chaff. And then we'd no longer feel overwhelmed. > Yeah… no. HT @eleanorkonik.bsky.social

New from me: we don’t really know how some major provisions of the Save America Act would work in practice. That’s on purpose: the bill would delegate key decisions on implementation to an obscure federal agency that would acquire dangerously broad powers.

Haha boys don’t use up all our offense on Day 1. Just kidding, I am enjoying this

so this question has come up in conversation recently: obviously, bluesky has features that allow you to disable interactions like replies and quote posts. but is doing so contrary to the spirit of social media? is it antisocial behavior? maybe even unethical? interested to hear everyone's thoughts

today at the World Metaphors Classic the leader of the USA didn't bother to find out the details of the situation his team was in and blindly assumed they would win a matchup they ended up losing, jeopardizing their long-term standing for no good reason

I somehow just got a year of mlb.tv / At Bat for the price of a month via the iOS app.

I heard a couple of other games came out today 👀 but this is the one I’ll be playing soon.

I am seeing so many seemingly reputable websites infected with this junk. censys.com/blog/errtraf...

@bsky.app @pfrazee.com is there any way to remove a feed from my feeds when it is not currently pinned? First image is the ellipsis menu on the feed. The second is the “unpin” options. Only the second seems to do what I want.

Interesting - I'm familiar with critiques of **populism**, but this essay instead takes on **popularism**: > a politics drained of content and fixed values, and driven mostly by issue polling. The critique here is not of a lack of *correctness* (right now) but of a lack of *coherence* over time.

Yikes! A super nerdy physics joke has somehow made its way into The FoxTrot Store! Behold: UV Bull signed prints... store.foxtrot.com/products/sig...
