USA are taking on Montenegro tonight (1:30 AM PT…) in the second round of the Group Phase of the FIBA World Cup. I obviously won’t be watching, but I’m excited to see how the Bulls Vucevic and Simonovic fair against the US.

I got real nervous for a second given my impending move to the North Bay, but luckily, I should be far enough away from their utopia”.

💿 Albums - App Store

A few of the Apple-centric blogs have been posting about a music app designed around playing albums, so I figured I should share the superior Albums app. Albums does everything that other app does plus so much more and is easily worth the subscription.

⚾️ Cubs beat Brewers 3-2 — ESPN

Another big win for the Cubs as they continue to climb up the standings, finding themselves just 3 games back of both the Brewers (division) and Phillies (first wildcard spot). Would like to see Madrigal get more time (and Happ less).

🕺 I spent 3 months learning Blender, Unity, and Code… to make this — Elliot

Pretty extensive video of Elliot making a little 3D clone of himself and adding AI and voice to it. Wild stuff.

🎶 Voir Dire — Earl Sweatshirt & The Alchemist

Haven’t actually listened to this… just find this release through Gala to be stupid.

🎾 Coco Gauff Wins A Tense, Endless Mess — Defector

Feels more like a lose/lose situation when the crowd turns on an underdog… Big fan of a Gauff and it sounds like she had a point… but still, a tricky situation.

🚗 The end of cool small cars — Blackbird Spyplane

I’ve talked about the tiny Japanese pick-up trucks before, but this nails my sentiment around small cars. I was planning for my next cat to be a Hyundai Veloster, but apparently those are gone too.

🎙️ Late-Night Hosts Set Strike Force Five’ Podcast Amid Strike — Vulture

While I’ve been working to cut down on podcasts, this is still a really cool project to help support their writers. Listened to the first episode and it’s exactly what you’d expect.

🗣️ The Variable — Ponder

Prompted by @bjhess, I went ahead and fired up a group on the forum platform, Ponder. I’ve attempted this before with Discord/Wavelength so it’s likely to be silent, but maybe it’s worth joining to save me the embarrassment of having conversations with myself.

🚨 Welcome to 404 Media — 404 Media

Love seeing these smaller, independent groups of journalists spinning up their own sites—much prefer this to the gluttony of Substacks. Add these folks, previously at Vice’s Motherboard, to the list alongside Hell Gate and Defector.

☠️ Hobeaux — OH no Type Company

Been desperately trying to find a way to use this on the site along with the other three Oh No fonts… so far I’ve come up empty so instead I decided to pester Kinopio about adding it as a header font…

🪧 John Cale - Perfectly Imperfect

This newsletter is a bit overrated, imo, but I really enjoyed this issue with John Cale—all four sections are delightful.

💽 Domino by Diners

Release of the week. Feels a bit like a modern, alternative version of Alex Chilton with a tinge of doo-wop swing and harmonies.

⚒️ Bricolage Grotesque — Google Fonts

New font from Mathieu Triay who did Marvin Visions, a reinterpretation of Marvin. It reminds my untrained eye of Degular, which I use on TIV, with a bit more character. And it’s free.

🔴 Liverpool sign Endo after losing out on Lavia, Caicedo — ESPN

Bit of a bummer that Liverpool ended up with their third option here, but Endo will probably be better in the near term for them than Lavia just given age and experience.

I asked for some upbeat recommendations earlier to help get my day going and received some great stuff so of course I made an Album Whale list. Feel free to send more to be added.

🤡 How Not to Fall for Trump’s What He Believes’ Nonsense — Talking Points Memo

We’d be remiss if we didn’t note that it’s actually irrelevant what Trump believes. Believing the bank owes you money isn’t a defense for robbing the bank. But that’s not the core point. Trump’s current antics are like a liar’s version of a fake insanity defense in which the defendant makes a spectacle of bizarre behavior to prove his case.
