Playing off the recent joke of an Area 51 raid, the brand at first tweeted that it would be “the first brand to formally announce that we will not be sponsoring the Area 51 raid,” and quickly followed that up with “Screw it. Free Bud Light to any alien that makes it out.”

The Big Day coming July 26 from Chance the Rapper. Couldn’t be more excited for this. Chance is the sound of summer in Chicago.

After expirmenting with Flickr for hosting images for my Blot blog for a few months, I’m yet again changing course. The tediousness of the whole workflow on iOS was just too much. I’m back to just using Dropbox, but resizing with Shortcuts before uploading and posting.

I’ve made some changes to the Shortcut that powers my Links page, displaying articles, podcasts, and videos consumed, to try to give more clarity, but I’m still struggling getting the podcast name, along with the episode title, through Shortuts (and Overcast).

As derided as Luminary seems to be in the world of podcasts and the open web, I just listened to the first episode of Anthem: Homunculus and was blown away. When I have some dedicated time, I plan on starting a free trial and binging the first season.

Yesterday was a pretty great day for sports in England. Between the fifth set tiebreaker in the Wimbledon final and the super over in the cricket World Cup, my eyes were glued to the TV. The tough part was trying to watch both at the same time without missing anything.

The new Nintendo Switch Lite looks really cool. If it would have been released at the same time as the Switch, I would’ve gone for the Lite. The missing killer feature to get me to also buy the Lite is shared saves so you could pick up and continue a game from either.

Anyone subscribe to Dan Frommer’s The New Consummer? I’ve enjoyed the couple of free articles I’ve read here and there, but $200/year with no monthly or quarterly option is tough to start with especially compared to Stratechery at $100 or $10/month.

So, so perfect:
