📌 “Winning Time” Isn’t Just Deliberately Dishonest, It’s Drearily Dull

Considering dipping my toes in RSS again. I’ve been using dedicated apps for publications or newsletters to my Hey e-mail or the Substack app. But then again… I don’t know that I’m missing too much. I get most of the personal blogs through micro.blog and newsletters…

I’m 100% letting myself believe the Bulls have a shot in this series right now, just to make the inevitable defeat that much more painful.

📌 Ep. 666 - The 2022 Summer Movie Wager (GUESTS: Germain Lussier and Peter Sciretta) — The Filmcast (AKA The Slashfilmcast)

What a stunner in Phoenix. Didn’t watch, but browsing through the box score stats, the Pelicans won this purely from the three point line. 56.7% on 30 attempts vs the Suns 37.1% on 35 attempts means the Pels got an extra 12 points on 5 less attempts. Everything else besides Points of Turnovers, where the Suns excelled was pretty much even.

📌 In Defense of Tucker Carlson Touting ‘Testicle Tanning’

Hints looks like a really nice app. Feels like a good middle ground between Apple Notes and the PKM world of apps. Clean, simple, polished, with a lot more organization and tagging capabilities.

Everything Everywhere All at Once is a must see. It exceeded my already high expectations and I think it’s a top ten all-time favorite movie for me. Highly, highly recommend going out and seeing it.

What an ending in Boston. The possession leading to the game winning shot is indicative of why I picked Boston to win. Better overall team that moves the ball amongst the whole team and plays defense. But still… wow!

Went ahead and setup Osaka (Kinopio’s font) to be used in Drafts and it’s glorious.

Raindrop could probably serve my Instapaper and Are.ne needs really well. Just not sure I want it to…

Loving Jack’s new blog where he has beautifully incorporated daily notes and blog posts. Think they work really well together. Much easier to follow as well.

Instead I went ahead and made it extremely easy to post to my blog from drafts, eliminating the prompt step for tags and permalink/file name.

Was thinking about setting up a new Twitter account with my semi- pseudonym “humdrum”, but between my blog and the fact Twitter keeps freezing up when I try to “sign up with Apple”, I gave up and decided against it.

Glass is super nice and all, but I guess I’m just not that into photography… I used to be… but I just don’t find much there to be too enticing. Posting my designs there, which probably goes against the photographer ethos, oh well.

So apparently vanilla nitro Pepsi is a thing and I actually like it…

Played basketball tonight for the first time since COVID and now I’m only 70% sure I’ll live to see another day.
