Bummer about reading Instapaper articles on my Kindle is that highlights don’t sync to Readwise.

💬 Adam Serwer writing for The Atlantic:

The implied terms of the racial contract are visible everywhere for those willing to see them. A 12-year-old with a toy gun is a dangerous threat who must be met with lethal force; armed militias drawing beads on federal agents are heroes of liberty. Struggling white farmers in Iowa taking billions in federal assistance are hardworking Americans down on their luck; struggling single parents in cities using food stamps are welfare queens. Black Americans struggling in the cocaine epidemic are a “bio-underclass” created by a pathological culture; white Americans struggling with opioid addiction are a national tragedy. Poor European immigrants who flocked to an America with virtually no immigration restrictions came “the right way”; poor Central American immigrants evading a baroque and unforgiving system are gang members and terrorists.

Does anybody know of any anthology/short story publications for comics or sci-fi/fantasy that are actively publishing? Preferably in print, but web publications too.

After some research, the Poke2 and potentially the “Poke2 Color” seem like they could meet my needs. 6” e-ink screen device that runs Android. Could use Readably to access Feedbin for RSS, Pocket Casts for podcasts, and any number of apps for reading books. $189 for the Poke2, curious to see the price for the color device because ComiXology would be great too.

I kind of want an iPhone Plus/Max sized Kindle with e-ink screen. It should have the same book reading capabilities as Kindle’s have today, but with a capable RSS reader and podcast support. The ultimate, minimal, pocket-sized consumption device.

The Midnight Gosepl is super weird and not at all what I expected. It’s basically a Duncan Trussell podcast, but animated in a super crazy, psychedelic Adventure Time style. I don’t know that I’d recommend it, but I can’t stop watching…?

Never read Watchmen before, so I borrowed the Absolute edition from a friend and am diving in today.

Watching The Last Dance just makes me want to do a Jordan career binge. Watch every game or at least every playoff game. How great would it be to be able to have his entire career play in the background while going about quarantine life.

I now log movies in way too many places… Letterboxd, TiddlyWiki, Day One, a Bear note by year, and my Media Diet on the blog… 🤦‍♂️

I’ve fallen deep into the TiddlyWiki rabbit hole…

Started a Brewery database on Airtable that can be found at tiv.today/breweries. It’s mostly Chicago based at the moment, but it includes some Colorado and East Coast breweries I’ve either been to, tried, or am eager to try. If there are any other great breweries across the country I should add to grow it let me know.

What if Ozark, but then Marty took a deal and it became a prison drama for a season, then a family sitcom with a dad who contracts with the FBI, and then a season of being on the run from the Cartel?

Strongly considering switching to Seraphs Variable Font here. It could replace both my header and regular post typefaces. The only thing I wouldn’t be able to replace is the typeface for microposts, which I like a techy monospaced font for.
