Quick thoughts and micro-updates
I was cleaning out old bookmarks today and came across this quirky service that epitomizes the sort of simplicity we crave for publishing on the net (albeit anonymously.) text.fyi
Here's my one and only post on the service back in 2018. Maker
And here is the writing interface, markdown ok. text.fyi
Can you get yourself to publish something that you know no-one will ever see? If you don't copy the URL, you'll never see it again either! 🙂
Goodbye Firefox. But where to now?
Marjorie Taylor Green declared yesterday, with maps of southeastern US as props, that Democrats are capable of controlling the weather and that they used this power to wreak havoc and destruction on the red state havens of their enemies.
I must thank her for erasing the last tiny vestiges of belief I clung to in the gravitas of responsible leadership. I’m not naive but I desperately wanted to believe that being close to the highest levels of power in our democracy would inspire some level of seriousness and sense of duty.
No. The only person stupider than MTG is me.
Up early to make sure I experience all the satisfaction of the day after.
The day after Kamala Harris handed that shit talking bridge-troll the one part of his body that isn't the color of dried apricot.
"I have a concept of a plan," resonates so much with me and let's be real, everyone, because well,...guilty as charged.
But I can own that I procrastinate and that my personal failings are often the source of my anxiety and lack of focus and direction. The Republican candidate lacks the ability for any such self-reflection and therefore also has only "a concept of a man."
Which concept is severely broken.

I found this gem yesterday, buried on Disc 9 of the Bill Evans Complete Riverside Recordings. Zoot Sims is inspired. Jim Hall on guitar, Ron Carter on bass, Philly Joe Jones on drums. Tracked it down on YouTube. Perfect for a Sunday morning.
Looks like I'm getting back to a schedule more like I kept when I was coaching. A 4am wake up wasn't planned but I don't mind it. I don't really differentiate weekends from weekdays anymore.
Good morning all.
Well it took most of the morning, but I was able to implement a better way of adding and editing tags for posts in the Django admin. Used the Select2 library loaded from a cdn. Will try doing it with the Django-Select2 package next.
Good morning Micro.blog and Mastodon! It looks like it's going to be a beautiful day here in Lawrence, KS. Hump day! All easier from here on out!
Would someone in Texas law-enforcement please invite Ken Paxton to an extended stay away from other humans? He seems to be pleading for it.
Again with the chemtrails? RFK Jr. is supplying more toxic brain destroying pollutants than any number of poison jets ever could.
Wondering if anyone is home at the indieweb.social Mastodon instance. Been waiting over a week for account approval. One way or another.
Ugh. Just realized I never created a field in the admin interface to supply alt text for featured images. 1st project for the day then.
Wide awake at 4:15am. Might as well get to it!
Well done Joe Biden. #dncspeech
Sound bite for KJHK FM id check this morning.
Mom: What happens if I listen to jazz in the car?
Toddler: I will turn into an old man.
Ouch.
