🎵 The Gutter — ALEXSUCKS

My surprise release of the week beating out Squid, Janelle Monáe, Milky Chance, King Krule, and many others. What a great week of music. I’d comp them as a slightly poppier The Strokes and I dig it.

🤡 The Indictment Is Stunning. Will Trump Supporters Care? — The Atlantic

The scorn of elites and myriad investigations to which he has been subjected are, for his faithful, merely certifications of his potency and independence, a reflection of the threat he poses to a corrupt order.

Quick, salient piece from David Axelrod.

Miami didn’t play that badly tonight (until the last two minutes), but Denver is just too good that Miami has to be perfect and tonight Bam was still a little inefficient (with 7 turnovers) and Struss/Vincent just couldn’t get anything going. Looks like Jimmy’s gonna come up short again…

👀 The Ganzfeld Procedure — Austin Kleon

This is funny; if I had some ping pong balls lying around I’d give it a try.

🗂️ So It’s A Crime Now To Have Boxes Full Of Cool Folders With Various Words Printed On Them? — Defector

It is America’s strange blessing and profound damage that it keeps producing more and more people who believe that this sort of thing might work for them, which it never does.

Okay last Defector piece for the week…

⛳️ PGA Tour Board Member Vows To Kill Any 9/11 Perpetrators Involved In LIV Golf Merger — Defector

And if someone can find someone that unequivocally was involved with it, I’ll kill them myself. We don’t have to wait around.

Defector has been absolutely killing it this week.

Yikes… I don’t think Paul Pierce will be receiving any invites to do this again anytime soon.

🙀 Semafor Shithead Screams At Climate Activists — Defector

I genuinely like the stuff Semafor has been doing, but this is an awful look for them and Clemons.

🙈 Studio Ghibli to release Hayao Miyazaki’s final film with no trailers or promotion

If you watch all [three trailers for a recent film], you know everything that’s going to happen in that movie.

Missed this the other day. No release date for the US yet, but it’s out July 14 in Japan.

Back to playing around with the idea of using default apps: Fantastical → Calendar (easy), Carrot → Weather (easy), Things → Reminders (not so sure…), and Notes (keeping Drafts since it’s indispensable, but I haven’t really had a good note storage system in awhile).

🐂 What will Bulls do with Nikola Vucevic? — Sporting News

I don’t know if it would work money-wise, but I was thinking, since some LA fans have used AD as a scapegoat… Vooch+DeRozan for AD+Vanderbilt…?

Got my invite to Aboard… not sure what I’m going to use it for yet. And this is on the heels of starting to use Tumblr again… 🤦‍♂️

Haven’t been watching the Sky given the myriad of off-season changes, but I guess I need to tune in to check out the new squad.

⌛️ Licht’s Out — Puck

In the end, the fact that he failed to even succeed at the one thing he was ostensibly skilled at–programming live television–is one of the great mysteries of this whole saga.

From Zuker’s ouster, to Zaz’s cost-cutting, and then Licht’s mismanagement, I struggle to see a path back for CNN given the cable news environment.

⚽️ Lionel Messi Agrees To Join Inter Miami — Forbes

Huge for MLS if it becomes official. And I’m just so happy he isn’t going to Saudi Arabia. Curious what the Barca number could/would be though.

🥽 Eyes (and head) on with the Apple Vision Pro — Six Colors

This has me pretty excited (not that I have $3500 sitting around in couch cushions). It sounds like the gestures really do just work and the OS delivers on the next gen feel.

I have no idea how Vienna is perceived outside of Chicago (only recently learned La Croix was essentially Midwest only until 2015), but this is cool to see.
