📌 Why America Feels Like a Post-Soviet State | The New Yorker

I get they need stakes, but I think it would’ve been more interesting if Marvel took the James Bond route and just replaced actors. It’d be more comic book-y too, since stories go on forever. And swapping actors would be like swapping creative teams on a book, going from one writer (voice of the character) and one artist (look of the character) to another.

The NBA is back in 48 hours!

Both the Knicks and Nets are interested in Zach LaVine, you say? 👀🤑😎

I miss Roon already…

I hate the fake fans and fake fan noise they use in sports. Just seems pointless and annoying.

Roon is such a superior experience compared to Plexamp. Really really really wish they Roon had a solution for on-the-go…

I really dig Roon, and although it’s a small feature, the tagging is awesome. With that being said, I don’t think I’m going to stick with it after the trial. Maybe once I land the next gig, but the cost is a bit to high for my usage. Going to try a month of Plexamp next.

Looks like a bunch of Other Half beers hit the Chicagoland market today. It’s going to be a good week.

💬 Jelani Cobb, The New Yorker:

Trump’s disdain for Lewis betrayed a theme: having never grasped the concept of sacrifice, the President is contemptuous of people whose lives have been defined by it. No criticism that Lewis issued about Trump was as strong an indictment as the simple facts of his life: born to Alabama sharecroppers, stalwart of sncc, leader, exemplar of humility.

I’ve got 1094 items in my Bandcamp collection (mostly due to cheap Full Disco purchases). Currently going through them all and deciding what to download… Probably better ways to spend my time, but I’m loving it.

RSS, podcasts, Instapaper, and magazines (plus a digital library book I borrowed and already renewed, but have barely touched) are starting to pile up again… instead of looking at those I’m mindlessly watching YouTube videos…

Looking through my Untappd data, Hop Butcher is by far my most consumed brewery. I’ve checked in 81 different HB beers. The next closest is 32 from Mikerphone. Outside of IL, I’ve had 13 different 450 North beers, and 8 different beers from both Other Half and Cerebral.
